Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package

Hi

Using a basic MSI project, I have created a Setup Prerequisite for Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable.
My installer displays the following prerequisites:

.NET 3
.NET3.5
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package
SQL 2005 EXPRESS
JAVA
ADOBE

All in the sequence above.

My installer installs .NET 3.5 and .NET 3. BUT when it comes to installing Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package, my installer reboots the machine. And after the reboot it does not restart the process from where it left of, from Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable. It skips that prerequisite and begins to install the rest of the prerequisites (sql express, Java, adobe)...
I have windows installer 4 so this should be Ok...

Can anyone help please? How do I install Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package?

Too add to this, I have set the properties for the prerequisite Behavious (in the behaviour tab) as follows:-

At the fisrt drop down selection I selected, Continue the setup
At the second dropdown selection I selected, Exit and Resume on Reboot.

So if after installing the previous prerequisites, the installer should not reboot, so I have eliminated this possibility by setting these above.

In the Application to Run Tab of the Edit window of the Setup prerequisite

Set the commanline with /q /norestart

This will suppress the reboot.

You can also try doing a final reboot at the end of the install of the application.
