I have an install pacage using the built in test for the presence of a VC++ 2005 redistributable libs. However although this works in 90% of installs there are a significant numbr of machines that seem to have a partial install of the VC++ Side-by-side libraries so that the builtin test - examining a registry key - passes and the libs do not get installed. This leads to an 'application has not been configured' failure, when I try to run it
Has anyone seen this, and better still solved it?

Re: VC++ 2005 redistributable
Hi Ian,
It is largely the user's responsibility to make sure he has a valid and intact install of the redistributables. Adding the redistributable merge modules to your installer should be sufficient.
How are you deploying the redistributable runtimes? I suggest you try with merge modules if you are not already doing so.

Gabriel
