Extract the Source Images for the Microsoft Visual C Runtime Libraries

The CA DLP distribution image includes two Visual C runtime libraries, vcredist_x86.exe and vcredist_x64.exe. These libraries must be present on the host machines before you can install CA DLP.

If you need to include these libraries in your Group Policy deployment, you first must extract the 'double wrapped' .msi images and .cab files from the executables.

To extract the source image for 32-bit machines

You will need to specify two separate output folders when extracting these source images.

1. Find vcredist_x86.exe and vcredist_x64.exe in the \redist folder of the CA DLP distribution image.
2. Extract the 'VCREDI' executables.

   For deployments to 32-bit machines

   Run this command:

   vcredist_x86.exe /C /T:<path to output folder #1> 
   

   This command extracts VCREDI~3.EXE.

   For deployments to 64-bit machines

   Run this command:

   vcredist_x64.exe /C /T:<path to output folder #1> 
   

   This command extracts VCREDI~2.EXE.

3. Extract the .msi and .cab files.

   For deployments to 32-bit machines

   Run this command:

   <path to output folder #1>\VCREDI~3.EXE /C /T:<path to output folder #2> 
   

   This command extracts vcredist.msi and vcredis1.cab

   For deployments to 64-bit machines

   Run this command:

   <path to output folder #1>\VCREDI~2.EXE /C /T:<path to output folder #3> 
   

   This command extracts vcredist.msi, vcredis1.cab, plus a number of .cat files.

4. Copy these extracted files to the same location as the Client.msi file that you created as part of your administrative installation source image.
