Description

When trying to import Microsoft.VCRedist.2015+.x86 or Microsoft.VCRedist.2015+.x64 we get the message "No Application Found".

After some troubleshooting it looks like the -Match in line 422 is not working correctly with these Apps.

I replaced the line with to get it working:
if (!($AppResult.ToLower() -match [regex]::Escape($AppID.ToLower()))) {
