MSVCR110.dll is missing from your computer

Raising issue from feedback by Daniel from LifeCycle Solutions who is trying out TagUI. Thanks Dan!

I got an error from php.exe “The program can't start because MSVCR110.dll is missing from your computer.” I googled and found this related issue.

I was able to fix by installing 32bit MSVCR110.dll: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=30679

Anyway, I thought I’d mention in case you want to note in your setup instructions, or handle somehow in the app. I’m on Win10. I would have expected this to be on there already, but maybe something to do w 32bit vs 64bit.

Fix that worked for Daniel is installing from Microsoft website - Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 Update 4 - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30679

It looks like some Windows systems may not have a common system file MSVCR110.dll that is used by PHP 32-bit version - https://github.com/tebelorg/TagUI/issues/69#issuecomment-343883204 . More details specific to PHP and MSVCR110.dll.

Downloading automatically for user may not be a good idea, or detecting if the file is missing may not be robust. Going to put a note in readme for Windows download section, so that users who experience this can download from Microsoft website.

Added this note prominently in the setup section where users download TagUI for Windows -

On some Windows computers, if you see 'MSVCR110.dll is missing' error, install this from Microsoft website - this file is required to run the PHP engine.

Above commit adds a note to as Windows users to download the x86 (32-bit) version, this is because even if they are running 64-bit computers, the packaged PHP is still a 32-bit version for wider compatibility. Choosing the 64-bit version will still result in the error message. This note addresses that.
