Visual C++ 2012 is out of support, but is required for Exchange 2016 - how can we remove it and still run exchange?

We are required to uninstall any software that is no longer in support but still need to use Exchange 2016 which requires C++ 2012 - now out of support.

There were indications from Microsoft that only C++ 2013 was required so, as a test, I remove C++ 2012 and Exchange then failed to start - so I assume I was mislead by Microsoft?

Any thoughts, ideas etc?
