I need to install vcredist_x86.exe (Microsoft Visual C ++ 2010 Redistributable Package). I entered "vcredist_x86.exe / q" in cmd.exe. However, vcredist_x86 was not installed successfully. I used the task manager to check what happened. I found out that a process called msiexec.exe persists until you kill it.
VC ++ 2005 runs with an older version, so the arguments / q (/ qb) or / passive / norestart will not work (see here http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/archive/2010/10/ 20 / 10078468.aspx ).
For silent mode, use the / Q switch to start all optionsvcredist_86.exe /?
vcredist_86.exe /?
To quietly install VC redist, combine vm redist MSM into your own MSI application and avoid having to run a separate EXE at all.

PS: Do not kill msiexec. You will end up in poor condition.
