title: How do I get my installer to deploy the Visual Studio 2013 (VC120) runtime to Windows XP?
body: <p>I recently updated my application to Visual Studio 2013. I'm attempting to make a final Windows XP build before dropping support, but I'm running into a problem with the installer after changing the installer version from 200 to 405. I had to do this in order to include the VC120 merge modules.</p>
  
  <p>When I try to install my application on Windows XP, I get a dialog saying '<em>This installation package cannot be installed by the Windows installer service. You must install a Windows service pack that contains a newer version of the Windows Installer service.</em>' This machine does have the latest service pack, however.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way for me to redistribute the VC120 runtime to Windows XP alongside my application?</p>
