[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
BypassIf Property=ProcessorArchitecture Compare=ValueNotEqualTo
Value=AMD64 String=InvalidOS/
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.

Regsvr32 didn't work, that's the point. Maybe it couldn't find your file.
: C:\Program Files\[Product Information]\, looks wrong to me, because [ ]
implies a Windows Installer property, but not with that space in the
middle.
The point of the tools like heat is that you don't need to run code at
install time - it's the weakest link. Extract it all with heat and you
don't need to run anything else.
