How To Use
-
Install wix tool
dotnet tool install wix --global --version 5.0.0 -
Install wix extensions
wix extension add --global WixToolset.BootstrapperApplications.wixext/5.0.0
wix extension add --global WixToolset.Util.wixext/5.0.0 -
Build
wix build -arch x86 -ext WixToolset.BootstrapperApplications.wixext -ext WixToolset.Util.wixext -src wix-v5-bootstrap-download-vcredist-sample.wxs -out wix-v5-bootstrap-download-vcredist-sample.exe
I do not know how to fix it. There may be a problem accessing windows installer service.
This error message is implemented here.

NativeErrorCode "0x64D" means ERROR_INSTALL_PACKAGE_VERSION (1613).

Could you pls tell me where did you get this UpgradeCode? Thanks.
If I need to install a version of 14.44.35208.0 instead of 14.40.33810, do I need to update this UpgradeCode in util:ProductSearch?

In conclusion, you do not need change UpgradeCode.
ProductCode changes with version upgrades, but UpgradeCode does not change with version upgrades for the same product.
https://docs.firegiant.com/wix/tutorial/sprint1/spike-explore-package/#package
https://docs.firegiant.com/wix/schema/wxs/package/
Use wix command like this,
wix burn extract VC_redist.x64.exe -oba outba_dir -o out_dir
See this file,
outba_dir\BootstrapperApplicationData.xml
And you can see UpgradeCode in "vcRuntimeMinimum_x64" package properties.
<WixPackageProperties Package="vcRuntimeMinimum_x64" Vital="yes" DisplayName="Microsoft Visual C++ 2022 X64 Minimum Runtime - 14.44.35211" DownloadSize="1200828" PackageSize="1200828" InstalledSize="2457608" PackageType="Msi" Permanent="no" LogPathVariable="WixBundleLog_vcRuntimeMinimum_x64" RollbackLogPathVariable="WixBundleRollbackLog_vcRuntimeMinimum_x64" Compressed="yes" DisplayInternalUI="no" ProductCode="{43B0D101-A022-48F4-9D04-BA404CEB1D53}" UpgradeCode="{36F68A90-239C-34DF-B58C-64B30153CE35}" Version="14.44.35211" InstallCondition="(VersionNT64) AND NOT (Arm64_Check = "ARM64")" Cache="yes" />
Or check the msi package file directly with some tool like Orca.exe.
out_dir\WixAttachedContainer\packages\vcRuntimeMinimum_amd64\vc_runtimeMinimum_x64.msi

Hey, could you tell me how to use this? Is it suppoed to be used directly or referenced as part of another file somehow? Trying to compile it gives me
Error (active) WIX0350 The package being validated requires a higher version of Windows Installer than is installed on this machine. Validation cannot continue.
