C++ 2013 Redistributable Deployment - No SSCM

[robyholmes]

Hi All,

 

I have a school who we're wanting to setup ExamWritePad for but they don't have C++ 2013 Redistributable being installed as part of MDT. So I'm needing to deploy it retrospectively. Has anyone managed to do this without using SCCM? I'm sure you used to be able to get the MSI's out of it but that doesn't seem to be the case any more.

 

Thanks, Rob

You could use a startup script or scheduled task run as SYSTEM. Give domain computers read access to the share. Write a powershell script to detect c++ 2013 in HLKM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall. If it's not present install. You could write to a text file where domain comouters have write access to keep track of where its installed successfully.

 

Sounds painful these days without SCCM.

You could use something like the free version of PDQ deploy to push it out.

I've testing using the exacted MSI's as talked about here (With a link to the 2012 instructions as its the same).

If you have something t o deploy software like pdq, you can script it with these switches:

 

vcredist_x86.exe /install /passive /norestart

vcredist_x64.exe /install /passive /norestart
