I removed Permanent="yes" from the Redistributable and tried uninstall. They didn't uninstall because VCRedist2015x86 and VCRedist2015x64 were 14.26.28720.0 (instead of 14.26.28720.3), so conditions evaluated false. I changed the VCRedist2015 variable to 14.26.28720.0 and it seems to work. I hope that's a good fix.

Thank you for your comment. It is fixed.

I'd suggest adding Protocol="burn" to the ExePackage, since vc_redist is also based on Burn, which allows for better progress tracking.

Thank you for your advice. I updated.

Hi guys,
I would like to use different version of vs_redist (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=615460).
I was wondering how to detect CertificatePublicKey, CertificateThumbprint and Hash for this one?
