To reproduce this, run the following on a Windows machine that does *not* have the Visual Studio runtime libraries installed in C:\Windows\System32. In particular, make sure that C:\Windows\System32\vcruntime140_1.dll does not exist.

1. Use a JDK 11.0.x release built with VS 2017

2. Use a recent version of the JavaFX jmods built with VS 2019 (e.g., JavaFX 17.0.2)

3. Create a jlinked image as follows:

$ jlink --module-path ./javafx-jmods-17.0.2 --add-modules java.se,javafx.controls --bind-services --output ./jdk-11+fx

4. Run any JavaFX program using the custom. jlinked JDK:

$ jdk-11+fx/bin/java -Djavafx.verbose=true -Dprism.verbose=true HelloRectangle

BUG: it will print the following exceptions and fail to start:
