IBM i Access for Windows ODBC driver has dependency on C++ 2005 library

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

NB - Don't know if product is right as this should refer to
"IBM i Access for Windows ODBC driver "
and I couldn't find it in the list and couldn't move on without having something in the list!

Microsoft have indicated that they have withdrawn support from the VC++ 2005 libraries on which this ODBC driver is built. Their full statement is as follows -
"
• Third-party products using the VC++ 2005 runtime, you should contact the app vendor. The vendor is responsible for their products and is best enabled to be able to respond and address technical support issues. For example, the vendor may have updates or new version that use supported runtimes. If the app vendor wants support from Microsoft for issues relating to the VC++ runtimes then the app vendor will need to update their app using a supported version of the VC++ runtime.
"
To validly use the ODBC driver we need this to be built with the latest version of the VC++ runtime as this is currently a security vulnerability to us as a company.


Use Case:

System: Any ODBC connection to an iSeries within the company
Actor: Customer

Use cases for the system:
•Make connection
•Create Data
•Read Data
•Update Data
•Delete Data

Scenario: Identify correct policy and read/update information
1. Create policy
2. Read policy
3. Update policy
4. Delete Policy
