Enhancement for VC++ 2019 Prerequisite Restart
Solution for the InstallShield VC++ 2019 prerequisite restart, due to the pending file rename for the temporary files created in the TEMP folder during the VC++ 2019 redistributable installation.
Modified InstallShield VC++ 2019 prerequisite and InstallShield 2020 R3 prerequisite engine to ignore the "PendingFileRenameOperations" registry key changes for the temporary files created in the TEMP folder during the VC++ 2019 prerequisite installation.
After this modification, the InstallShield VC++ 2019 prerequisite does not restart the machine after the installation even it is installed on a machine installed with VC++ 2017 redistributable.
