[wix-users] vc++ 2019 redistributable

[KONDURU Pavan]

Hi Guys,
I am including the vc++ 2019 x86 redistributable in my WIX Installer. I am using the merge module like this in my Installer:

<DirectoryRef Id="INSTALLLOCATION">
        <Merge Id="VCRedist" SourceFile="$(var.distribution_dir)\Microsoft_VC142_CRT_x86.msm" DiskId="1" Language="0"/>
      </DirectoryRef>

      <Feature Id="VCRedist" Title="Visual C++ 8.0 Runtime" AllowAdvertise="no" Display="hidden" Level="1">
        <MergeRef Id="VCRedist"/>
      </Feature>

My project compiles well and also installs well. I wanted to know how do I make sure that the merge module has installed properly. I don't see any registry update under

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0\VC\Runtimes\X86

Where do I check to make sure the files have been installed ?

Thank you
