I have an application developed using c++\cli on vs2008. As you are aware to deploy this application on any machine, i need the vc++ redistributable to be installed on the target machine.
I wanted to know if i could include the vcredist_x86.exe in my setup (created using InstallShield) and install it as a pre-build event?

vcredist_x86.exe is stored in different paths based on Windows OS version: Windows 95/98/Me - C:\Windows\System. Windows NT/2000 - C:\WINNT\System32. Windows XP, Vista, 7 - C:\Windows\System32.
In most cases you should install both the x64 (64-bit) and the x86 (32-bit) versions. If you're using a 32-bit version of Windows, then you only need to install the x86 version. Open the downloaded files and follow the instructions. When finished, try running Unified Remote Server again.
The Redistributable is available in the my.visualstudio.com Downloads section as Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2019 - Version 16.7. Use the Search box to find this version. To download the files, select the platform and language you need, and then choose the Download button.
To check if Visual C++ redistributables are installed, open Add and Remove Programs and look for the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable. If installed, you see "Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable (x64) - 14.22.
If you want to know if it is allowed: Yes. This is why it is called redistributable.
This MSDN page describes exactly what you want to do.
