[WiX-users] Bootstrapper VCredist
Hello all, I am currently working on an installer in which I would need to bootstrap VCredist. As some may know there are two separate files within the C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages folder: Vcredist_x64 Vcredist_x86 I have tried bootstrapping both product xmls and simply changed the FailIf element to I have done the same for the x86 product xml. Although my changes have correctly caused them to run on their respective machine. They appear to run regardless if there is an updated version of the VCredist already installed. Below I have posted both product xmls in hopes that someone has a suggestion on what to add within the product.xml files or if there is a better way of installing the VCredist altogether. Any help will be greatly appreciated. VCredist_x86 Product.xml http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/2004/01/bootstrapper"; ProductCode="Microsoft.Visual.C++.10.0.x86" > VCredist_x64 Product.xml http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/2004/01/bootstrapper"; ProductCode="Microsoft.Visual.C++.10.0.x64" > -- Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.

Re: [WiX-users] WIX regsvr32 with XP
I opened the dll with dependency walker and this is the error that I received Error: At least one required implicit or forwarded dependency was not found. Warning: At least one delay-load dependency module was not found. Warning: At least one module has an unresolved import due to a missing export function in a delay-load dependent module.
