Unable to download Vagrant box - cannot find box error (windows 10)

The issue is in the 1.8.x build of vagrant for Windows. Since Vagrant has C++ components, on windows it depends on the standard C++ 32 bit lib which can be found at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8328 which has been removed in windows 10. Installing this, followed by vagrant or reinstalling it after this is installed will fix this problem.

This is a specifically know issue only in Windows 10.
