Hi,
I want to install VC++ 2013 Redist as part of list of prerequisites. I am using Bootstrapper. Here is my WXS file for VC++ 2013. Is there anything else I should do?

Bundle.wxs
<Chain>
      <PackageGroupRef Id='NetFx462Redist' />

      <PackageGroupRef Id='VisualCPlusPlusRedist' After='NetFx462Redist' />
