<p>Kminear: </p> <hr /> <div>Thanks for your posting, I used your code to look to see if Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributables are installed.<br /> <br /> They have a different key than your example, but after finding the appropriate key it worked fine.<br /> <br /> I used REGEDIT, then looked in SOFTWARE/MICROSOFT/WINDOWS/CURRENTVERSION/UNINSTALL, then browsed the entries until I found the VC++ 2005 Redistributable:<br /> <br /> My key was: A49F249F-0C91-497F-86DF-B2585E8E76B7<br /> <br /> using that key it works great. I needed this for a project that was using SkinCrafter with the installed program and they require the VC++ libraries to function properly.<br /> <br /> Again, thanks for posting your example, without it I'm not sure if I would have figured out how to make it work.<br /> <br /> [[User:Kminear|Kminear]] 21:21, 10 August 2007 (PDT)kminear</div>
