Just use the one supplied with Visual C++. Usually it is present on all Win32
systems, but you should always include the newest one in you binary package when
you distibute your product. There is a directory with redistributables supplied
with Visual C++ and the Service Packs therefore.

If you use the Windows Installer services, there are prepackaged components
downloadable at the MSDN web site as well as the Visual Studio Installer
application.

I had problems when linking against the MSVCRT, MFC and DirectShow DLLs, because
the global variables in the encoder were not initialized, which caused the
encoder to crash on initialization, so I worked around this problem by linking
everything statically. I have not investigated this problem further.

Btw: Visual C++ still doesn't like floor1.c in libvorbis because of a "default:"
at the end of a "switch" statement. I've reported this already on this list
together with a patch, but perhaps I'm in someones mail filter here.
