Help! Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable

Usage and Config
1

(imported topic written by jdefilip)

I’m trying to create a package that requires Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable. Two questions;

  1. Is it possible to use Application Usage Information to find out what machines already have Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable installed.

  2. How would I create a package that uses the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable dependency?

Thank you,

Jason

I think the Microsoft Visual C++ redistributable are a common Microsoft security patch topic, so if you look along our Enterprise Security content you should be able to find a ton of examples. I guess it depends on what service pack level you’re searching for.

Relevance like this might do it:

Q: exists key whose (name of it = “InstallProperties” AND value “DisplayName” of it as string contains “Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable - x86” and value “DisplayVersion” of it as string >= “9.0.21022”) of keys of key “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Products” of native registry

(name of it = “WinXP” OR name of it = “WinXP-2003” OR name of it = “WinXPe”) of operating system AND (not exists key “HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall{710f4c1c-cc18-4c49-8cbf-51240c89a1a2}” of native registry)
