A little more information: On page 80, Ramirez offers the following "Implied Properties": * Manufacturer * ProductCode ... * ProductName * ProductVersion * UpgradeCode So my question is, what is the implied property to dermine if (1) VC 2008 runtime is present [1, 2], and (2) is it SP1? My apologies for not being more clear in the original question.
