Install Visual C++ 2015 redistributable when redist update 3 already exists
I have a computer with Visual C++ 2015 redistributable update 3 installed.
Now, I'm trying to run a setup file that has Visual C++ 2015 redistributable (with no update) x86 and x64.
Setup fails.
I'm getting the follwing error message:
"The installation of Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 redistributable package (x86) appears to have failed...."
I'm also getting an error for x64.
It looks that I need to edit prq for both x64 anx x86 package.
Any ideas how to handle this?

It sounds like you might need to update the prerequisite condition. The canned InstallShield Visual C++ 2015 x86 condition looks for a registry key that does not exist. You have update 3 already installed but it probably has a different registry key so it tries to install. But since the Visual C++ runtime that is already on the system is newer - you might run into problems. What are your thoughts on making the Visual C++ 2015 prerequisite update 3 in your install? Keep in mind that it you switch to it, you need to uncheck the old one.

I am in the same situation as you. What did you end up doing?
