Installing Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable in silent mode

Question

_{Thursday, August 15, 2013 7:49 AM}

Hi,

I am trying to install the VS 2010 Redistributables with the /norestart option.
This does not work on every OS.
On the Windows 2008 R2 SP1, the following occurred.

1. Executed "Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable (x86) - 10.0.40219.exe" /q:a /c:\Setup.exe /q /norestart\
   -> Resulted in Windows restart.

The same with:

Executed "Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable (x86) - KB2565063.exe" /q:a /c:\Setup.exe /q /norestart\
-> Resulted in Windows restart.

Is there something I can do to avoid the restart?

Many thx in advance!

Stephan

Hi XStephanX,

I download the installation file of Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable from the below website.

http://download.microsoft.com/download/5/B/C/5BC5DBB3-652D-4DCE-B14A-475AB85EEF6E/vcredist_x86.exe

I put the vcredist_x86.exe file into “E:\tools”. Then I run cmd.exe as Administrator.

Executed the below command:

“E:\tools\vcredist_86.exe” /q:a /c:\Setup.exe /q /norestart\

It could install vcredist_86.exe, and I don’t receive the prompt.

-> Resulted in Windows restart.

My test environment like yours, But I don’t reproduce this error.

So I need more information to reproduce this error. You could close some software that you don’t need use it. Then tell me your specific environment. Such as which software must run.

Best Regards.
