Screenshot of error in launching lldb

Hi,

I tried using the LLVM 11 installer for Windows (64 bit) and I noticed that I
am unable to launch lldb because python36.dll (CPython runtime for Python 3.6)
was missing. I'm attaching a screenshot.

I've overcome it by downloading a Python 3.6 zip (64 bit) version from
Python.org, and extracting the DLL out.

I request that you either link these binaries with a static (/MT) build of
Python or bundle this DLL. One way to check if deps are missing for the EXEs is
to add a distro checker with the dumpbin tool that is shipped as part of VC++.
