I have InstallShield 2013 Express which I have been using successfully for awhile.
I'm a developer with very limited understanding of installation so I've kept things pretty vanilla.
After a recent update to my application, some of my users began having DLL registry errors during installation.
My research discovered that a tool I added to my application has a dependency on the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86) (vcredist_x86.exe).
I send these users the link to download/install the redistributable package which works as a temporary fix.
Looking for a real solution, I then looked into the InstallShield redistributables and found 15-20 Visual C++ prerequisites and merge modules, none of which clearly map to the install that resolves my users' issues.
What is the correct solution for this problem.
Is there some set of merge modules/prerequisites that cover vcredist_x86.exe (if so, how do I identify which I need)?
Or do I need to run vcredist_x86.exe as part on my installation (if so, how would I do this)?
