Adding the dlls won't work, since they have the same name as the x64
dlls. And those are already installed in the TSVN bin folder.

To make this work properly, we have to wait for MS to fix the merge modules:

in the mean time, as you've already noticed: just install the MSVC++
2015 redistributable x86 package.
