You can try setting different option in the prerequisite behavior tab when reboot is detected. I think setup will automatically resume post rebooting the machine. This behavior is due to InstallShield setup detecting pending reboot based on PendingFileRenameOperations value (set by microsoft 2019 installer) as documented below. If anyone has any idea what is wrong, please help! I'd like this to work, and this installer must be delivered very soon! Screenshots of my prerequisite configuration are also attached. I've created a version of the prerequisite that logs the installation of Visual C++, and got the attached logs. Since Visual C++ 2015-2019 (圆4) replaces the Visual C++ 2017 (圆4) redistributables, to reproduce the issue, you must uninstall Visual C++ 2015-2019 (圆4), and reinstall Visual C++ 2017 (圆4).

When Visual C++ 2017 (圆4) redistributables are not installed, it succeeds through both prerequisites and the main installer.

When Visual C++ 2017 (圆4) redistributables are installed, the InstallShield installer fails after installing Visual C++ 2015-2019 (圆4) redistributables.

My colleague and I both experience the following repeatable behavior. I'm experiencing the following behavior with my prerequisite, but not when the Visual C++ 2019 installer is run outside of InstallShield. Trying to post this again, because my previous post got marked as spam for some reason?

How Can I debug FileName.xyz (place brakepoint, check variable values/callstack, F9, F10, F11, Shift+F11) using standard C++ debugger with exe and generated pdbs for C++ file?.

also each ' custom language statement ' is inline replaced in CPP with their function definition ' n-comma separated statements ' (same way as #define functions get replaced during pre-processing).

Is used to set _LINE and _FILE before 1st statement

to map line differences and filename at line 10th in FileName.cpp it puts #line 1 FileName.xyz.

in the beginning so 1st stmt in xyz may appear at 11th line in cpp CPP file has additional code #include etc.The difference between FileName.xyz and generated FileName.cpp is that We want to Debug this Filename.xyz using exe and PDBs. We are using custom language say FileName.xyz which on precompilation preprocessing temporarily generates C++ files, which in turn is built to an executable (and PDB for temporary C++ files symbols).
