Package provided in Chocolatey does not declare a dependency

[vmax]

Description of the problem / feature request:

bazel installed via Chocolatey does not declare dependency on VC Redist

Feature requests: what underlying problem are you trying to solve with this feature?

I'm trying to use bazel to build code on Windows instance on GCE (specifically windows-2019/windows-cloud)

Bugs: what's the simplest, easiest way to reproduce this bug? Please provide a minimal example if possible.

choco install bazel
bazel version => {
cmd -> prints out empty string
bash on msys2 -> prints out C:/ProgramData/chocolatey/bin/bazel.exe: error while loading shared libraries: ?: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
}

What operating system are you running Bazel on?

Windows Server 2019

What's the output of bazel info release?

$ bazel version

Any other information, logs, or outputs that you want to share?

choco install -y vcredist2015 should be ran to be able to use bazel
it should be either automatically installed or at least advised

@petemounce -- could you please take a look?

FYI, @petemounce is currently on holiday, will be back in ~2 weeks, so I don't expect this to be addressed until late Feb/early March.

@RNabel , thanks for the heads-up!

@vmax , is this issue blocking you? Can you work around it until the package is updated?
