PRQ for c++ redistributables installs but ISM reports that it failed

I took the following prq from this forum to install the x86 c++ 2013 redistributables (see below). I created a prq file, copied the code in the file and saved it. When I opend my a simple ism, underprequisites I found the prequiste and added it to the project.
When I run the setup.exe that is generated the install prompts come up and the redistributables are installed however the ism pops up a window indicating the install failed. When I check Programs and Features in windows it shows
that they were installed. What changes need to be made so the ism script realizes the installation was successful?

Ok, I figured this out. The distributable that is brought down now has a different key in the uninstall registry entry. When I put that key in the original prq then things work correctly.
