Visual Studio 2017 Installer Project – include VC++ 2015 Redistributable

by

You can’t run that redistributable as a custom action because it’s an MSI-based install, and you cannot run recursive MSI installs (yours calling the VC redist one).

In Visual Studio setup projects you’re supposed to use the Prerequisites feature. Right-click the setup project in Solution Explorer, choose Properties, then Prerequisites. This will build a setup.exe to install prerequisites followed by your MSI file. As far as I can tell, the Microsoft Visual C++ 14 is the Visual Studio 2015 runtimes.
