Hi,
I am able to install the c++ redistributable x86 for VS 2017 from the command line using /q /norestart with no issues. If the redist is not installed, it installs it silently. If it is installed, it doesn't complain and just returns. However, if I try to do this in my installation program it always starts in non-silent mode. Nothing I can seem to do, will fix this.
I tried this as a custom module using install shield. As a prerequisite, it does not run in silent mode even though the /q /norestart is there.
However, I got rid of that and it is then launched stand alone at the end of the install. Same thing happens.
Any suggestions? Apparently a merge module might work. Where are they? They are not in the documented locations.
Instead of this, is the vc_redist.x86 installed when windows is installed by default? If so I do not need to supply it.
Thanks, I have struggled with this for months
