Re: [WiX-users] best way to deploy C++ runtime?

OK, I did a little testing and the results surprised me because the "working" solution goes against the advice of not including the policy MSM. Scenarios are as follows, all on Windows XP SP 3: - No MSMs, run the vcredist_x86.exe, install my application, my app launches - Payload MSM, install m

[WiX-users] best way to deploy C++ runtime?

OK, so I need to deploy the VS 2008 C++ runtime (w/ATL security fix) and I'm reading the documentation in Visual Studio that says that using the merge modules will install the runtime as side-by-side assemblies. Further, it says that this will require administrative priveleges in order to install
