I would if you need to install prereqs. (I think the release is only a few days away.)

I'm trying to install the Visual C++ redistributables file vcredist_x86.exe I can't use merge modules as I've been asked to use this one EXE file. I added it to a bootstrapper using this code: <ItemGroup> <BootstrapperFile Include="Microsoft.Visual.C++.10.0.x86"> <ProductName>Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables</ProductName> </BootstrapperFile> </ItemGroup> <Target Name="AfterBuild"> <GenerateBootstrapper ApplicationFile="$(TargetFileName)" ApplicationName="Server Setup" BootstrapperItems="@(BootstrapperFile)" ComponentsLocation="Relative" CopyComponents="True" OutputPath="$(OutputPath)" Path="C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bootstrapper\" /> </Target> But this installs the prerequisites at the beginning and I have been asked to show our welcome dialog and then do a registry search to see if the appropriate files are installed. If they are not to call the vcredist_x86.exe file. Can this be done? I'm trying this but cannot get it to work. <CustomAction Id="QtExecDeferredExampleWithProperty_Cmd" Property="QtExecDeferredExampleWithProperty" Value=""[#vcredist_x86.exe]"" Execute="immediate"/> <CustomAction Id="QtExecDeferredExampleWithProperty" BinaryKey="WixCA" DllEntry="CAQuietExec" Execute="deferred" Return="check" Impersonate="no"/> <InstallExecuteSequence> <Custom Action="QtExecDeferredExampleWithProperty_Cmd" After="CostFinalize"/> <Custom Action="QtExecDeferredExampleWithProperty" After="InstallInitialize"/> </InstallExecuteSequence> Kind Regards, Natalie Carr ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
