it will eventually change when microsoft decides to update it.
another thanks goes to eidaraman, for his link to the redists location.
as has been said a few times now: while the news post mentions the november release, MS are having problems and are only posting the older version. If you already had hte newer version somehow, it would report this one as older.
Is everyone else getting the same as me on the dxwebsetup version. It just says no update, you already have the same or more up to date.
