vcredist not being installed
Hi,

 

On the Redistributables page I have checked the box for "Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable Package (x86)". The package has been downloaded and is included in my final exe but it is not installed.

 

Is there a step/checkbox I'm missing?

 

Thanks,

 

Jeff.

  • I found an answer. The prq file is broken when attempting to install the x86 redist on 64-bit Windows.

     

    The information here also applies to the VS2012 redistributables.

    The solution:

     

    Fire up Notepad and make a 2-minute-quick-fix.

     

    In your InstallShield installation directory, find a folder “SetupPrerequisites” and a file “Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Redistributables Package (x86).prq”

     

    Open the file in Notepad

     

    Remove the text Bits=”1&8243; from all 5 operatingsystemcondition xml-tags. This is the part that tells InstallShield only to match this prerequisite on x86 machines.

     

    Save the file; then recompile your setup

     

    Finish!
