Prereq

Hello!
Have you got any plans to expand your preRequisites ?
I need following in my application:
vcredist_x64_2010
DirectX_aug2009_redist

Thanks in advance for your answer

Piotr,

We'll check this.

In fact, you can distribute whatever you want as a PreRequisite, there is no limit. There are more than 10,000 different redistributables available for all kind of Windows operating systems. The Core PreRequisite is only a list for the most common redistributables.

In other words, you can already redistribute vcredist_x64_2010 and DirectX_aug2009_redist from your install. You only have to download it from the Microsoft side and use it in your install.

Piotr,

BTW, I think the latest DirectX 9 redistributable is "directx_Jun2010_redist.exe" (June 2010). If we decide to update the "rt_directx90.sbi" DirectX include script then we'll update it to this build.

Is there a guide anywhere how to do this at all?

Hi Chris,

I think the best guide is the original runtime include script (.sbi). For example, the "rt_vc2010redist_x86.sbi" for vcredist_x86 and the "rt_directx90.sbi" for DirectX. It comes with full scource codes.
