In the last few releases the command line options for visual studio files has not changed greatly. At the end of the day I want to see a place like Flexera / InstallShield be profitable and continue to make a quality product.įor items like visual studio redistributables, fortunately there is solid information online for their requirements. I imagine they do this as a business practice because they want to offer incentives for people to purchase a maintenance contract or upgrade to the new version. Otherwise, no, I have never seen InstallShield offer work they did in newer products to an earlier product. If you have a maintenance plan with InstallShield then you can download version 2015 and get the associated redistributables if you want. The place to get the redistributables is from your online account with Flexera. I don't think I was ever able to get items like the visual studio redistributables from it. As far as I can tell it only helps to download things like.

I have never found the redistributable downloader to work very well.
