I believe that by default the VC runtime packages install the files to pre-machine areas, so I always mark them as PerMachine="yes" (and Permanent).  The ExePackage is a Burn bundle, and as I understand it all Burn bundles are pre-machine.  I do not create any per-user  setups, but I have read that if a per-user setup is desired the vc runtimes must be deployed as private dependencies.

Hi,
My client product use the "Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package" and "Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable Package" installed as pre requisites.
For the life of me I can't find out why I set only these two EXE packages to:
PerMachine="yes"
My other pre reqequisite packages do not have this element set...
i.e.:Microsoft SQL Server Compact 3.5 SP2 CU2Microsoft Sync Framework 3.1 Database ProvidersMicrosoft Sync Framework 2.1 Core Components For my Admin product I have the "Microsoft SQL Server 2012 - Express Edition SP2" set to PerMachine="yes" as well...
while my other pre requisites are not, i.e.:Microsoft SQL Server 2012 System CLR Types SP1Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Management Objects SP1Microsoft Sync Framework 2.1 Core ComponentsMicrosoft Sync Framework 3.1 Database ProvidersMicrosoft SQL Server Compact 3.5 SP2 CU2 Do I really need the VC Redists and SQL Server 2012 set to PerMachine=yes?
Thanks,
Steve
