4154 Warning with built-in Visual C++ 2013 Prereq.

I recently switched from NSIS to Advanced Installer and am close to releasing our first new version since making the switch. On some QA machines and a few customers who've gotten pre-release builds we've seen Warning 4154 coming from the installer when installing the Visual C++ 2013 Prereq. I didn't modify this prereq or it's conditions at all, just selected it from the list of Visual Studio prereqs, it is specifically the 2013 Update 5 x86 prereq.

Is this a known issue with the Visual C++ prereqs? Are there any work arounds? I am also installing the VC 2012 U4 x86 and VC 2015 U3 x86 prereqs if that makes any difference.

Re: 4154 Warning with built-in Visual C++ 2013 Prereq.

Hello,

This issue seems to be triggered by the running environment.
I have tested this scenario and couldn't reproduce this issue. Please take a look on our FAQ article : Why do I receive the 4154 warning?

Can you reproduce this on a clean machine? If you do, please give us a testcase so we could further investigate this issue.

Best regards,
