Summary

Errors

1. If the installer is not started in Administrator Mode
   • MS Windows Registry writes fail to occur
2. If a version later than “Visual C++ 2017 redistributable (x64) – 14.16.27033” is already installed on the machine
   • The installation fails with an error message stating “0x80070666 – Another version of this product is already installed“

Defensive Programming

1. A nice defensive feature will be for the installer to check if a later model version of “Visual C++ 2017 redistributable (x64)” is already installed on the machine.
