I am installing Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable (x86) - 14.0.23026 as a prerequisite with my application. When I uninstall my application, the prerequisites should also get uninstalled silently.
Please let me know how can I achieve this. I have tried some ways searching on the internet, but they did not work.
I believe there might be a very simple and straight forward way to do so, I am the newbie to installshield so unable to catch it.
Any comments are highly appreciated.

I installed the Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise and updated it to the last version. I choosed the necessary web components in the Visual Studio Installer, tried to execute the devenv /InstallVSTemplates, tried to repair Visual Studio and installed .NET Core SDK (x86 and x64).
Nothing of this helped me, I still can't find the ASP.NET Core Application under .NET Core in Visual Studio. How can I solve this problem?
Solution that I found myself: Everything described above was indeed caused by a mistake in the third screen.
I did not find how to solve this problem automatically, I just installed all these .msi packages manually. The installer loads them, but for some unknown reason can not install it themselves. To install them manually, you need to go to the directory where Visual Studio is installed, there just look for these packages by name and install them. Then you need to run the installer again and if it shows another error with another package, you need to repeat the procedure with a manual installation. I had to repeat it three times with three different packages. After that, I started the installer once more and it installed the rest.
I have an MVC4 application developed with Visual Studio 2010.
Project works fine on IIS Express.
When publishing it to IIS8 and trying to access it I get an exception saying the System.Web.Mvc, Version=3.0.0.0 assembly could not be loaded.
The calling assembly is AttributeRouting.Web.Mvc, which is a NuGet package I use.
The way I understand it, my project referes to version 4.0.0.0 of System.Web.Mvc, while the package I'm using depends on 3.0.0.0.
If Visual Studio/IIS Express can run it perfectly, how come the published version has this problem?
I read a lot only today, but still couldn't figure it out.
Is this what Binding Redirect used for?
I'm kind'a lost here, feeling like I don't really have any direction.
Any advice is welcomed.
Thanks in advance,
Shy.
SOLVED:
I simply (Well it wasn't so simple) installed MVC3 in addition to versions 2 and 4.
Problem disappeared without the need of any further changes.
Solution:
Download and install MVC3 from Microsoft's website.
In case installation failes:
Extract the setup file.
Open ParameterInfo.Xml in an editor.
Remove completely the <Exe> tag that refers to the vs10-kb2483190
file.
Run setup again.
Thank you very much for your help #Augusto.
Hope this helps someone someday :)
I am trying to install Qt5.1.1 and have already installed VStudio 2010 Pro, but I stll get the error saying Qt needs a compiler set up to build.
I looked it up, and I only find very complex solutions that are impossible for me to implement.
Can anyone give me specific directions on how I can get Qt5.1.1 working in my laptop?
Btw in case you couldn't tell, I'm a newbie.
Thanks
First, ensure that your Visual Studio installation contains a 32-bit compiler (the official Visual Studio 2010 packages only support 32-bit compilers)
Then, ensure that you've downloaded and installed one of the packages that are marked "Qt 5.1.1 for Windows 32-bit (VS 2010)" from http://qt-project.org/downloads
If Qt Creator still doesn't auto-detect your compiler, add it manually: http://qt-project.org/doc/qtcreator-2.8/creator-tool-chains.html
If you had to add your compiler manually, also add a Kit to combine your compiler with your Qt libraries: http://qt-project.org/doc/qtcreator-2.8/creator-targets.html
On specflow's own instalation guide it says that the only way to install it is using the .msi installer and most of the tutorials I've read on the subject tell me to download and install said file but when I search on the nuget package manager I find there's also an available package for specflow.
The difference is in the tooling. With the MSI you get full item template, syntax coloring and intellisense support in the IDE where as with the NuGet you just get the code generation and runtime support. So I'd say 9 times out of 10 if you're going to be doing any serious work with it you're going to want the MSI for those rich features.
At this point they really should be offering it as a Visual Studio Extension for a lot more integrated install experience using VS Extension Manager.
Does anyone have a good way to build MSI (vdproj) projects using MsBuild or Nant?
I know one answer was to install Visual Studio on the build server and just use devenv.exe to build the project, but, I prefer not to install Visual Studio on our build servers.
Short of the method you mentioned above (devenv), there is no way to do this with the current version of MSBuild.
The method the Visual Studio team uses to run their MSI builds is with Windows Installer XML. You can learn more about using WiX to deploy setup packages here.
Please note WiX doesn't support vdproj files so it means you'll be recreating your installer projects.
Edit: Looks like I was beat to the chase when grabbing my references :)
We use Wix to automate MSI builds for IronPython and IronRuby.
EDIT: to clarify, this probably means starting over from scratch when building your installer. While Wix has a mechanism to create a configuration directly from a preexisting MSI file, I've never gotten a satisfactory result from using this tool
