Detecting VCRT9.0
hello,

my project is currently upgrading from VS2005 to VS2008. previously we had found a NSIS script that was able to detect if the VCRT8.0 was installed. i tried looking around google and couldn't find an equivalent one for VCRT9.0. has anyone had to do this yet and would be nice enough to pass the script to the community?

thank you.

If you give us a a link to the code that detects vcrt8.0 maybe we could help you.

This forum software is severely misconfigured. I'm just reposting so everyone can see the URLs.

[As an aside to whoever runs this site: why not just use "nofollow" tags in the links? That way spammers lose and content wins. This "user submitted URL" nonsense is idiotic.]

Edit: All these examples use the product code of VC 8.0 redistributable. This product code is inside the MSI file for the redistributable.

In order to find the VC 9.0 product code just search for the VC 8.0 product code in the VC8 redistributable MSI file. Then locate around the line in the VC9 MSI file and you'll find the correct code.

It's a pain in the ass. You should probably rethink your problem. Or ask this same question on the MSDN forums.
