[wix-users] vc++ 2019 redistributable

[KONDURU Pavan]

Thank you Edwin, that cleared a lot of stuff when I opened with Orca. It installs the x86 vc runtime dlls in the windows sysWOW64 folder.

If you must use the .msm, then you could open it with Orca or InstEdit to see which files the merge module installs.

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
