The Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 redistributable is required to run Microsoft Communications Server 2010. If you install Communications Server 2010 by using the deployment tool wizard, Setup prompts you to install this prerequisite, and it automatically installs it if it is not already installed on the computer. If you choose not to install it, Setup terminates.

Note:
If you install Communications Server 2010 by using the command line, you need to manually install this prerequisite on the server where you plan to install.
