Version of the VS++2010 redistributable
I have a basic MFC program and I created 2 install programs...one using Visual Studio INSTALLER, and the other using Install Shield LE. I am using VS2010 with SP1. I noticed that the versions of the Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 2010 x86 redistributable are different for each installer. (i verify the version by going to add/remove programs and I see it listed there).
For Windows Installer, the version is 10.0.40219
For InstallShield, the version is 10.0.30319
My research tells me that version 10.0.40219 is that one I want since that is for VS2010 SP1. Do you know why InstallShield is installing an older version of the redistibutable?

Hello rgs424,

InstallShield 2011 Limited Edition includes an earlier version of those redistributables because we released InstallShield 2011 Limited Edition before Microsoft released the new version. You can obtain the latest version from the following KB article:
Q212595: Support for Visual Studio 2010 SP1 and .NET 4 Update Redistributables

I went to this article. The directories that it refers to, such as ""C:\Program Files\InstallShield\2010\SetupPrerequisites"" and "C:\Program Files\InstallShield\2010\Modules\i386" do not exist on my machine. I have VS2010_SP1 installed with InstallShield LE.

Sorry if this is a double post. But the article you referred me to refers to directories that do not exist on my laptop. My laptop has VS2010_SP1 installed with IS Limited Edition, but these directories do not exist...
"C:\Program Files\InstallShield\2010\Modules\i386"
"C:\Program Files\InstallShield\2010\SetupPrerequisites"

The paths on your system probably look something like this:
C:\Program Files\InstallShield\2011LE\...
C:\Program Files\InstallShield\2011LE\...

If you have a 64-Bit Windows 7 or Vista OS you should check this folder:
C:\Program Files (x86)\InstallShield
C:\Program Files (x86)\InstallShield
