how to stop VC redistributable (prerequisite) installation

hi all,
my application is bundled with VC2012 redistributables and delivered to customer, due to some issues/constraints my application should not install prerequisites(VC2012 redistributables ) as a first step of installation. is there any way to stop prerequisite installation, something like "passing any argument in silent install command".

all your suggestions are greatly appreciable.
Phanik.

Assuming this is a one-off case that you don't want to build an alternate installation for, the two options I see are to perform an administrative installation with /a (if this is Basic MSI), and thus be able to skip prerequisites; or to falsify the data used by the condition of the prerequisite so that the prerequisite is detected as already present.
