The new msi Package for Icinga2 on Windows requires the optional Windows Update KB2999226 (Universal C Runtime - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2999226).
As far as i know it is required because the package was compiled for Windows 10.

It would be nice to have a special version for Windows Servers up to 2012 R2, to avoid installing this Update.

The new build infrastructure uses VS2013 instead of VS2015 which does not require the windows update package anymore.

Removed the dependency check, compiled snapshot packages and tested it on a fresh Win2k12 vm. Works like a charm. The next stable release 2.5.0 will not require KB2999226 anymore. Though we need to keep it in mind when migrating to a newer visual studio version in the future.
