Hi,

I need to include "Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019" packages in OSD Task sequence.

https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/topic/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads-2647da03-1eea-4433-9aff-95f26a218cc0

Please let me know whether VcRedist has to be created as application for each version and added to OSD Task sequence.
Guide me the approach.

Regards,
Boopathi

    The latest supported VCRedist installers can be found here https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads-2647da03-1eea-4433-9aff-95f26a218cc0

    The silent install switches for each are as follows (insert setup exe name before switch)
    VC2008 = /qb!-
    All others = /q /norestart
