fix: Remove redundant check in runtime DLL condition

Browse source 
For some reason `&& hModule` was added to the end of the condition, which totally breaks the logic for when the DLL is not found.

// Welcome to DLL hell! :)
//
// Microsoft lets you run a program with an old runtime DLL, as long as the name matches.
// Unfortunately if you compile on VS2022 and then use the VS2019 runtime, which both have the
// same runtime DLL name, the app will randomly crash (e.g. access violation) or break in strange
// and unpredictable ways due to ABI differences.
//
// In Windows, there is no concept of requiring a minimum version of the runtime DLL, so we have
// to check the version ourselves.
//
// Our CI is set up to build with the latest compiler, so in this case we should insist on the
// latest runtime DLL.
//
// As a developer convenience, we also allow builds on older compilers such as the minimum
// requirements for the current Qt version we support.
//
// See table of the compiler versions and the matching runtime DLL versions:
// https://dev.to/yumetodo/list-of-mscver-and-mscfullver-8nd
#if _MSC_VER >= 1942 // Visual Studio 2022 Update 12 (v17.12.4)

// Enforcing minimum MSVC runtime version is quite strict, but we have a good reason.

// Microsoft lets you run a program with an older version of the runtime DLL than the one it was
// compiled with. This is because the runtime DLLs are supposedly ABI-compatible when the major
// version is the same, so hypothetically MSVC runtime 14.0 is compatible with 14.42.
// However, we have found that subtle edge cases (such as mutex lock causes access violation).

// Our CI is set up to build with the latest compiler, so in this case we should insist on at least
