CommonRedist folders should be put on DVD in ALL conversions IMO. I don't get why conversion authors insist on leaving them inside the gamefolders.

One DirectX redistributable is 100 MB. Install ten games, you rack it up to a gigabyte. NET framework installers bump it up even more. Seriously. Please. Pretty please. Make it launchable from either first or last disc. STOP doing what you're currently doing as with more games it just takes up space needlessly :-(

Steam always downloads _CommonRedist again if Steam not detect this folder after an installation from a conversion. So it's not that bad.
