Thanks for your feedback. I used the InstallUI sequence to install the VCRedist.exe and did nothing in InstallExecute sequence. So actually my implementation can lead to an installed product without installed VCRedist when user runs in /qn.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. Right now I also mentioned that properties are not re-evaluated when FindRelatedProducts is called in InstallUISequence and InstallExecuteSequence. So a set property CA must be implemented... 2011/4/28 Bob Arnson <b...@joyofsetup.com>: > On 28-Apr-11 09:52, Tobias S wrote: >> - With this implementation the VCRedist installer runs at a point >> where the user can run the installation unattended (for bootstrapper >> normally waiting until completion necessary - not considering Burn >> here as it is in beta) >> - Most installs run in UI mode, otherwise also for InstallExecute a >> condition could be integrated.
