    text
    copied!<p>I created an installer with Visual Studio 2010 Version 10.0.40.219.1 SP1 Rel. My application is built/compiled for x86 and requires VC++ runtime libraries. Thus, the setup project is configured with VC++ runtime libraries as a prerequisite.</p> <p>Every time I run the installer I get the popup "The following components will be installed on your machine." "Visual C++ 2010 Runtime Libraries (x86)". The first time it gets installed asa expected. The second and subsequent times it asks me whether to repair or remove VC++ 2010.</p> <p>This popup should only be displayed once, the first time it is discovered that VC++ redistributable is not installed.</p> <p>Has anyone seen this? Anyone know how I can fix this?</p> <p><strong>Solution:</strong></p> <p>The answer I accepted gave me what I needed to resolve the issue. Here are the details on what I did to fix this, which was very simple in fact. I edited the file:</p> <pre><code>C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages\vcredist_x86\product.xml </code></pre> <p>In this file you will find the following:</p> <pre><code>&lt;InstallChecks&gt; &lt;MsiProductCheck Property="VCRedistInstalled" Product="{6EE91C1A-A2E7-38CD-AEBB-3B900A4D8868}"/&gt; &lt;/InstallChecks&gt; </code></pre> <p>The above contains the incorrect product code. Replace the above with the correct product code for the Visual C++ 2010 SP1 redistributable as follows:</p> <pre><code>&lt;InstallChecks&gt; &lt;MsiProductCheck Property="VCRedistInstalled" Product="{F0C3E5D1-1ADE-321E-8167-68EF0DE699A5}"/&gt; &lt;/InstallChecks&gt; </code></pre> <p>The link <a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/archive/2010/05/05/10008146.aspx" rel="noreferrer">here</a> shows the correct product codes for the various VC++ 2010 Redistributables.</p>
