When I start up Visual Studio 2013 it calls itself Professional 2013
and the About Dialog box says Microsoft Visual Studio Professional
2013.

That version should have the vcredist files in the above mentioned location.  I've never needed to manually download the files when using that version.  There's something in the build system  that should manage that but I can't quite see it yet.
