Install the Microsoft Visual C++ redistributable as a prerequisite

Out software needs microsoft visual c++ 2012 redistributable which has necessary DLL for some of our executable. These are pre-requisite for our software, I tried to install the program by doing a custom action in PostActionInstall -> SystemAction -> RunProgram.

The installation during run is throwing up error - "Problem running Post-Install step.Installation may not complete correctly. Unknown error while running - c:\vcredist_x64.exe.

Pointers to sort out issue will be appreciated.

Hi @jonmarsh,

Is "c:\vcredist_x64.exe" the correct path? Can you share the <runProgram> snippet?
