How to add Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package?

[Ramón]

Hello,

I want to include Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package in my windows XP
embedded image.

What component is required?

I have looked up in my Target Designer SP2 FP2007 and I have not found it.

Thanks in advance.

Ramon.

I had the same problem.
It isn't present in Target Manager.
you need to make a setup with those redistributables and install it.
that is the way, i solved it.

Neither have I. Solved it by taking the vcredist_x86.exe from MS,
and run it on my image before sealing it. Easier than figuring out
which component and which registry settings are needed.

you could create a component the does just what are doing by hand.
1. Run the component designer and create a new component.
2. Create a repository for the component
3. place vcredist_x86.exe in a convenient directory called c:\bin
4. For the component create an FBA Generic Command that has
the following properties set
FilePath : c:\bin\vcredist_x86.exe
Phase: 18000
Reboot: True
5. you may wish to set the Arguments parameter as well to echo a log
file to c:\temp
6. make sure the the component points to the correct correct
repository before
importing the component into the repo database.

Thanks a lot.

The FBA command worked perfectly and I could install it before FBA is
complete done. you need to follow the installation steps as you do normally
in Windows, but it is a good way to remember to include the packet you need.
