I believe it was due to giving a failure code if trying to quietly install it on a system which already had the CRTs installed. This again resulted in components not being installed (silently dropped) since they depended on the successful installation of the CRTs.
I'm sure there's a way around it where the quiet install depend on if the CRTs are installed or not already, and only have the component dependency if it needs to be installed? Though I don't know the Installation Framework enough to know for sure. -- .marius > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] > [mailto:[email protected]] > On Behalf Of ext Heikkinen Miikka > Sent: Monday, July 16, 2012 7:30 AM > To: Bornemann Joerg (Nokia-MP/Berlin); Mcdonald Jason (Nokia- > MP/Brisbane) > Cc: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [Releasing] Current beta installers > > > Can't we just start the vcredist installers with the /q switch to make > > them shut up like other installers do?
