添加 Visual C++ 2012 Redistribution (x86) 作为先决条件（自定义先决条件）

Question

我需要添加 Visual C++ 2012 Redestribution (x86) 作为我使用 VS 2016 创建的安装程序的先决条件。但为了做到这一点，我必须创建 product.xml 和 package.xml在 bootsrapper 文件夹中。许多帖子建议使用 Bootstrapper Manifest Generator 生成这些 xml 文件。但是微软现在已经将该工具存档，因此我没有生成文件的工具。

有什么方法可以使 Visual C++ 2012 Redestribution (x86) 成为安装程序的先决条件？

我已经回答过类似的问题Add prerequisites to visual studio 2015。但我会 post 再次回答，以防其他问题被删除或 link 不可用。

I'll explain the step used by me to add Microsoft C++ 2013 x86 into Visual Studio 2015 folder (the steps in your case would be similar).

First navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\SDK\Bootstrapper\Packages\ folder (for previous versions of Visual Studio or custom paths this can be different).

Once located the Packages folder you can start by creating a new folder called vc_redist_2013_x86 (in your case vc_redist_2010_x86). Download the Redistribution package from Microsoft site and place it in this folder. You can download the 2013 version from here and 2010 x86 from here.

Now copy the files from the vcredist_x86 to your folder (it should be a product.xml file and a en folder with a package.xml file). Now remove them the read-only flag and open in any text editor.

In case of the product.xml you should replace the following:

ProductCode to: "Microsoft.Visual.C++.12.0.x86" (you will have C++.10.0.x86)

PackageFile Name="vcredist_x86.exe" will be named as the executable file that you've downloaded from Microsoft site.

PublicKey needs to be changed according to the one of the exe file. In order to find it you have to do the following steps:

right click the exe-file (in my case vcredist.exe)

choose 'properties'

select 'digital-signatures'

select the top signature (sha1)

press 'Details'

press 'View Certificate'

select 'Details tab'

select 'Public Key'

copy value from below and after removing spaces you have the searched value

MsiProductCheck Product needs to be changed to the one for your version. I was able to find this answer with the desired value. For 2013 x86 your Product is {f65db027-aff3-4070-886a-0d87064aabb1} and for 2010 x86 is {1D5E3C0FEDA1E123187686FED06E995A}.

Save file and move to the package.xml file. Here you have to replace the 'Visual C++ "14"' to your used version. I replaced it with 'Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable (x86)'.

Once this steps done. You should be able to see the Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable (x86) under the Prerequisites list in your Visual Studio 2015.

I'll post the two files below in case you need a model on which to work on.
