#Package C++ assemblies as NuGet

I am a C# developer, so please be easy on me.

As the title describes, I want to package a (legacy) VS2013 compiled C++ source into a NuGet and reference the package to my C# library. Similar to C#, I just included the generated assemblies into the package and it works fine - locally. Testing it to other machines, I figured that I need to install vcredist 2013.

Question now is how do I make sure vcredist 2013 is installed in my deployments. I checked other NuGet packages probably similar to mine, e.g. https://www.nuget.org/packages/librdkafka.redist/. In that package, they included msvcr120.dll in the runtime folder. Is this a standard practice? So if I included the msvcr120.dll in my supported runtimes which is only windows, then deployment should be fine as long as msvcr120.dll is copied in my published C# application.

librdkafka.redist 2.0.2

The Apache Kafka C/C++ client library - redistributable
