Can I include "vcredist_x86.exe" in my setup

Question

I have an application developed using C ++ \ cli on vs2008. Since you know to deploy this application on any computer, I need vC ++ to be distributed for installation on the target machine.

I wanted to know if I can include vcredist_x86.exe in my installation (created using InstallShield) and install it as a pre-build event?

Answer 1

If you want to know if this is allowed: Yes. That is why it is called redistributable.

This MSDN page describes exactly what you want to do.
