    IBM has evaluated the request, and has determined that it can not be implemented at this time or does not align with the current multi-year strategy. The current technique that IBM uses follows the Microsoft recommendation for redistribution of the Microsoft Visual C++ DLLs.This request may be resubmitted for consideration after 18 months from the date of submission. The request submitter will automatically be notified by email when the request qualifies for reconsideration and resubmission.

    Hi, whilst the reboot functionality has been added, I note that the actual headllne request (where the C++ installer installs to) has not been specifically addressed / or responded to. Are you able to provide guidance as to why this was not addressed?
