Note

Seems this package is interactive-only. There's a step asking users accept installing Microsoft.VCRedist.2015+.* version 14.29.30139.0. This behavior can't be suppressed by adding it as a PackageDependency and install ahead externally.

Hi @dgud 👋
Perhaps there can be a modification made upstream Wings3D to accommodate this ?

What do I need do?

What do I need do?

This package will ask users manually accept installing Visual C++ Runtime, and this step can't be suppressed.

Can this step be suppressed in newer versions? Can it detect if a valid Visual C++ Runtime newer than 14.29.30139.0 is already installed? Then we can manually ad Visual C++ Runtime as a dependency in manifest and silently install it ahead. Then Wings3D can install soon after it without users' interactions.

Yeah I noticed that after asking the question, I don't know why it behaves like that I need to take a look, was many years
since I poked around in the installer.

I'll get back to you.
