The 2013 version appears to be unavailable on the Microsoft website. I do the search, but it does not appear. Anyone know if it's unavailable?
There are several links out of the air for this version, but I found the link below where you can download the Microsoft Visual C ++ 2013 Redistributable VC12
) most updated:

With a version larger than 2013 of "Microsoft Visual C ++" MySQL installation should not work too?
Having a newer major version is not enough. MySQL when compiled used this version that has some specific dependencies for that version of the compiler. I found "in this forum some additional information.
This dependency until it is normal, over time the codebase is updated to use a newer version. For example, PHP up to version 5.6 uses VC11
(Microsoft Visual C ++ 2012 Redistributable), PHP 7.0 and 7.1 already use VC14
Microsoft Visual C ++ 2015 Redistributable ).
Regarding concern for updates, MySQL 8 will depend on VC14
, being a newer version will have greater chances of it already installed.
