I have been using:
util:ProductSearch ProductCode={13A4EE12-23EA-3371-91EE-EFB36DDFFF3E}
Variable=vc2013_x86_SP1 Result=state /

Install when the variable is less than 5.

I have been using:
util:ProductSearch ProductCode={13A4EE12-23EA-3371-91EE-EFB36DDFFF3E}
Variable=vc2013_x86_SP1 Result=state /

or
 util:ProductSearch ProductCode={13A4EE12-23EA-3371-91EE-EFB36DDFFF3E}
Variable=vc2013_x64_SP1 Result=state Condition=VersionNT64 /

when it is detected as installed the variable is set to 5, so I install if
less than 5.  Seems to work for me.

I recommend against using a product code search: If a user has a later 
version of the runtime installed, it won't be detected. (The VC runtimes 
are almost always major upgrades.)

In fact, I recommend against using any search for the VC runtime. They 
use the WixStandardBootstrapperApplication/@SuppressDowngradeFailure 
option, so you can safely always chain your desired VC runtime version. 
If it's outdated, nothing happens.
