Instead of forcing developers to build these libraries directly into every single software executable (which would make file sizes massive), Microsoft allows them to rely on shared system files. The "Redistributable" package installs these shared files (Dynamic Link Libraries, or DLLs) directly onto your operating system so that any program can access them when needed.
