Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables. These are required so that the executables of some programs will run, because they were compiled by their author using Microsoft Visual Studio (and a particular version of Visual Studio at that) and require Visual Studio's 'runtime' for C++ in order to run. Usually such runtimes are bundled with the software that requires them, but not always.
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable
The installer can be downloaded from Microsoft
<package id="pkgvcruntime2008"

<exit code="1605" />
</remove>
</package>
If you want the installation to be even more silent you can use:
vcredist_2008SP1_x86.exe /q:a /c:"VCREDI~3.EXE /q:a /c:""msiexec /i vcredist.msi /qb!"" "
There seem to be different versions of vcredist_x86.exe, perhaps language dependent, so there are different MSI removal strings.
Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable
The installer can be downloaded from Microsoft
<package id="vc2005-redist" name="Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable" revision="2" reboot="false" priority="10">

<install cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\vc2005-redist\vcredist_x86.exe" /q:a'/>

<remove cmd='MsiExec.exe /q /x{7299052b-02a4-4627-81f2-1818da5d550d}' />
