Since 10.11.12 (commit 8363d05f4d), executables are built with
the dynamic C runtime (/MD), introducing a dependency on
vcruntime140.dll.
VC++ runtime is typically installed via the VCCRT feature, which is
included by default as part of the hidden/default ALWAYSINSTALL feature
set. However, when users specify the ADDLOCAL property, it overrides the
default selection and may omit critical features like VCCRT. This leads to
installation failures.
Fix: Add a custom action that ensures mandatory features (e.g., VCCRT)
are appended to the ADDLOCAL property at install time. This guarantees
essential runtime components are always installed, even when a custom
feature set is selected.

MariaDB: The innovative open source database
MariaDB was designed as a drop-in replacement of MySQL(R) with more features, new storage engines, fewer bugs, and better performance.
MariaDB is brought to you by the MariaDB Foundation and the MariaDB Corporation. Please read the CREDITS file for details about the MariaDB Foundation, and who is developing MariaDB.
MariaDB is developed by many of the original developers of MySQL who now work for the MariaDB Corporation, the MariaDB Foundation and by many people in the community.
MySQL, which is the base of MariaDB, is a product and trademark of Oracle Corporation, Inc. For a list of developers and other contributors, see the Credits appendix. You can also run 'SHOW authors' to get a list of active contributors.

Getting the code, building it and testing it
Refer to the following guide: https://mariadb.org/get-involved/getting-started-for-developers/get-code-build-test/ which outlines how to build the source code correctly and run the MariaDB testing framework, as well as which branch to target for your contributions.
