OK, it still fired up the c++ redist installation? It could of course be part of the CloD installation...

Lets keep trial and error - how about adding a line in the VCRedist part with:

"IgnoreExitCode" "1"

Just guessing that could ignore the fact that it "fails"...

If that fails I could write a silly c++ program that returns a 0 as exit code that you could put in %INSTALLDIR%\\redist\\VCRedist\\vcredist_x86.exe Or by the way, why not just do a copy of the DirextX installer and call it "vcredist_x86.exe" in that folder... That way it will "think" it installs the C++ redist and it works

EDIT:

Wrote an amazing version of vcredist_x86.exe that will always work Download below, unpack the rar and put the file in %INSTALLDIR%\\redist\\VCRedist\\vcredist_x86.exe (and save the orignal before etc...). It's a dummy console c++ program that does nothing but return 0 (the exit code for "OK).

This is the code it runs (a default empty c++ project):

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
	return 0;
}
