Hi,

This is a welcome change. For beta 3 and earlier I got the error message:
$ php -v
PHP Warning:  'vcruntime140.dll' 14.11 is not compatible with this PHP 
build linked with 14.21 in Unknown on line 0

Now it works out of the box on my win 8.1 machien!
$ php -v
PHP 7.4.0-dev (cli) (built: Sep  4 2019 09:49:12) ( NTS Visual C++ 2017
