Hi all,
A third party app we use now requires v9.0.30729.6161 of the VC++ 2008 Runtime. We currently have an earlier version included in a repackaged installation via Merge Module.
I was wondering if anyone knows if there are Modules available for v9.0.30729.6161.
I tried installing VS 2008 on a VM with all the latest updates applied afterwards, but the Modules were not updated. Applying the version specific vcredist .exe didn't update them either.
I guess if I can't find modules I'll have to simply chain the vcredist to the current install. I'm then wondering if this redist...

... is the complete runtime or just some changes for the MFC update. In other words, I wonder if I can remove the current VC++ 2008 Merge Modules I'm using and simply install the runtime via this .exe.
Any information on either locating Modules or, if none available, whether the .exe will suffice in installing the complete, required runtime would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks Much!!

It's probably better to use the redist.exe (e.g. as a Prerequisite) instead of the merge module, to avoid problems like this:

We don't bootstrap the prerequisites for this particular installation, but I guess I could still call the redist from the .msi.

In your shoes. I'd simply build a new MM and add it to a new version of the main package (for new deployments) and deploy it as a separate MSI (for existing deployments).
