workarounds for updating the C++2013 32 bit RTM on servers

Hi,

quite frequently I am facing a problem:

"You damanged our Citrix server". "You damaged our ERP".

I did install a product CD that comes with c++2013 12.0.30501, and when the msi installer launches the c++2013 install this triggers the existing 2013 32 bit to uninstall the 32 bit and the 64 bit. This can also be reproduced by using the "uninstall" method in the C++2013 32 bit, after that the 64 bit runtime is gone too.


The unintended uninstall of the C++2013 64 bit is a bug in the 32 bit RTM, but it also seems that some third party vendors didn't get the punch and still deploy their software with C++2013 RTM.

My question is how to prevent the unintended uninstall of the C++2013 64 bit when updating the c++ 2013 32 bit?
