especially as such advice would need information about your jurisdiction,
target server jurisdiction, your legal standing to the target server etc.
etc.

BUT:
most challenges with software licences come from the distributing part. So,
instead of distributing the software which belongs to Microsoft, please ask
the owner of the server to install the Microsoft Visual C runtimes:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?familyid=A5C84275-3B97-4AB7-A40D-3802B2AF5FC2&displaylang=en

Microsoft is readily providing them to install; while installing the EULA is
to be accepted.

within GERMAN jurisdiction I would use the legal construct of
"Geschäftsführung ohne Auftrag", which assumes that I legally can do
business in someone elses name if it is necessary and according to his
wishes with assumed mandate. In that role I would install those libraries AS
someone being mandated by the owner of the server.  But, as recommended, do
not rely on legal advice from a IT mailinglist.
