Well the total download size is only 27MB. Splitting a script into two scripts is a pain to update both.

Whatacrock the hashes and sizes you gave me were wrong. I found that out when I finally finished the downloads. Anyways I think I have that all sorted out now. Try it now. Also Yes, I know the detections are not working for me iether... something is wrong somewhere.

Here's a list of the x64 items I had here:

VisualC++2005Redist_x64.exe
VisualC++2005Redist_x64_SecurityPack.exe
VisualC++2005SP1Redist_x64.exe
VisualC++2005SP1Redist_x64_ATLSecurityUpdate.exe

VisualJ#Redist20-SE-x64.exe
VisualStudio2010ToolsForOfficeRuntime(VSTOR2010)Redistributable40_x64.exe

As I downloaded these some time ago I do not have the download link. If the registry entries are needed then post a listing as to which ones and I can check my XP X64 system for them.

It would be good to have these as will in both 32 and 64 bit. I am very impressed with the work that has been done on this so for.

[ViroMan]

well I figured out the reason the detection wasn't working... I was giving it KeyValue=>8. The file and registry detection area doesn't deal with equations like that... only values. Giving it KeyValue=8.0.56336 made the detection work. Problem is... there are a few versions for each distributable...I don't know how to account for them all...

Anyways... im going to call it quits for now and get my gaming on.

Maybe someone out there can help out.

[ViroMan]

Well if they can give me all the versions of each distributable and all the registry locations which are Microsoft ID'ed then I will kiss them.

[Whatacrock]

Damn it... don't know what I did wrong with the MD5's and sizes....Just doubled checked what I uploaded and nothing out of place...Oh well this is my first try at doing this kind of thing (cherry's busted)

Found out what I did wrong ..well partially... got the files in wrong folders that I made but noticed the 2010 files have different version numbers.... mine shows 10.0.40219.1 and Viroman's 10.30319.1

no its ok.. chock it up a learning experience.
Anyways.. ya.. see what I mean about different versions? I have 2 different 2005 X86s, 2 different 2005 x64's, and so on... its silly. I mean installed that is... and if I uninstall one... one of my games will reinstall it. Its stupid... why do I need 4 different version of 2005!?

Looked around the web for possible answers to the detection problem and found this on a weblog http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/

There was not a specific detection mechanism designed and built into VC 8.0 runtime files redistributable setup packages.

Unlike the Visual C++ 2005 and 2008 redistributable packages, there are registry keys that can be used to detect the presence of the Visual C++ 2010 redistributable package.

Visual C++ 2010 redistributable package detection registry values

There is reference to detection of the pakages here is the info
Alternatively, like in past releases of the Visual C++ redistributable package, you can use an algorithm like the one I described in my previous blog posts to detect the presence of the Visual C++ 2010 redistributable package on a system:

• Call the MsiQueryProductState API
  
• Pass in the product code for the package that you want to detect based on the list below
  
• Check the return value of this API. If it is anything other than INSTALLSTATE_DEFAULT, the package is not yet installed

hey thats nice whatacrock.... pucker up for that kiss.

Also I can't use that API in the old apup due to not having the ability to compile VB code. I can however use that in the new AP.

It may take me a couple of days to check things - I'm in XP Pro x64 w/SP2 and Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs list 26 separate items from C++2005 to 2010. Will have to boot into Win7 Ultimate 64bit and check things there, right now I don't remember if I installed back to 2005 up to 2010 or ?

hey that's nice.

hmm... This just proves its going to be a huge pain in the ass to take care of since its changes so much.

I am going to set the APM files to just notice the latest release and if you don't have it, install it.

That is... the latest for 2005, 2008, and 2010. Not just 2010.

Does anyone know if you have to have the sp0 version in order for the SP1 version to install?

Booted into Win7 Ultimate 64bit w/SP1 - the following items are the same as my earlier post from within XP Pro x64. I can only assume that the informatiion will be the same for all versions: XP Pro w/SP3, XP Pro x64 w/SP2, Win7 32/64 bit w/SP1 and, probably Vista. (I do not have any version of Vista to check.) As I mentioned earlier, I did not install all Visual C++ versions from 2005 to 2010 but I have no reason to expect them to have different registry entries than reported here or by others. Others can easily verify this assertion.

Okay we scoured through the net to find a solution to which version needs to be installed and things got confusing..
One common thing that was stated is that the redistributable packages are standalones but nothing mentioned if sp0 has to be installed before sp1 packages.

[ViroMan]

well if they are standalones I will assume that sp1 includes sp0 same as windows SP2 includes SP1 and so on.

[Whatacrock]

Extracted the files from the distributable package into seperate folders then did a file compare, the files and your assumption to be correct..SP1 in fact an updated version of the original file.Same files in each package but SP1 has more and slight variations in filesize with several files

[ViroMan]

I am uninstalling all my version right now so I can reinstall with the latest so I can get version numbers and check AP against the APMs I make.

[Whatacrock]

You beat me to posting ViroMan as was going to ask how the release script was progressing

[Whatacrock]

@ViroMan... can confirm that just the SP1 redistributable packages be installed as standalones...Uninstalled 2005,2008 and 2010 from vista x86 machine..rebooted and checked programs and features to ensure nothing listed(all okay there) and proceeded to install the SP1 packages one by one and check to see what was installed. Programs and features only lists the SP1 packages...
Not sure if the SP0 packages are needed as no longer any software left on machine that utilize the packages.
