In short: you don't. Azure App Service is a PaaS offering, you don't get to decide what gets installed on the machines you run it on. They run within a sandbox that protects your App Service from doing harm (and being harmed). More info on the sandbox can be found here: Azure Web App sandbox.

Apparently some versions of the VC++ Redistributable are already installed on an Azure App Service. Please refer to this article for more info: Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio Azure App Service

An alternative solution would be to run a VM where you can manage the OS and the installed libraries yourself.

I created a simple Nuget package which contains the 3 DLLs and then added that to my app; it then works as the app looks in the local bin folder first.
