My understanding is that Microsoft does not offer the rights to redistributed this update. If that's correct, regardless of the technical problems, you may not do what you propose.
As a general answer towards installing prerequisites, look for support for installing redistributables in your bootstrap. Only rarely should you consider launching another redistributable from your Windows Installer package.
