'"Windows Kits\10\Redist\ucrt\DLLs" doesn't exist
I am trying to build a WebRTC library. It has a bunch of build python scripts one of which is trying to access
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Redist\ucrt\DLLs\x64
And copy ucrt Dlls into build directory.It fails there because my Redist directory doesn't have ucrt folder. I tried to uninstall my Windows SDK 10 and reinstall it.But Redist is still empty. Based on this doc by Microsoft:
To obtain the binaries for app-local deployment, install the Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) for Windows 10. The binaries will be installed to C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Redist\ucrt.
But it simply doesn't happen.I also tried to reinstall all the Windows tools and SDK via my VS2015 (Community) installer.
Did Microsoft deprecate the redistributable part of the installation? How can I solve this?
I installed Windows SDK 10.0.16299.0 . My system is Windows 10 64bit.

It happened to me. Both the visual studio installer and the standalone install incomplete/corrupt versions of the sdk.
Solution: Install the sdk in a windows VM (you can use the Microsoft provided vm: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/tools/vms/) and install the SDK there, then copy the complete folder (named 10 in my case) to the appropriate route. In Windows 10 would be: *C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits*
