Bugzilla – Bug 17651
LMS 7.7 doesn't install on WHS due to VC redistributable package
Last modified: 2011-10-14 09:06:29 UTC
VC redistributable can't be installed as there's already another installation going on in the background - the LMS installation. VC Redist. needs to be installed manually.
We might issue some error message or similar telling the user to install the redistributables manually.
QA - could you please try to reproduce this issue? - log in to the WHS box - make sure you don't have VC Redistributables installed - start the console and try to install the LMS add-in
Show message on WHS if VC 2010 libraries are missing. Don't continue installation. Probably add message to mysb.com download page too.

Added messaging and link to the download for users who don't have the libraries installed yet.
