How to determine if the 32-bit Visual Studio 2013 redistributable is installed on a user's machine reliably via the Registry?

Question

I am using DeployMaster to build an installer for a 32-bit Windows application written in C++ using Qt.

The executable depends on the Visual Studio 2013 redistributa

Answer 1

Just in case someone is looking at this, but is using NSIS to deploy their program.

You check:

ReadRegDword $0 HKLM "SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\DevDiv\vc\Servicing\12.0\RuntimeMinimum" "Install"

If $0 equals 1, then it is installed. If not, it isn't.
