What is command to install Visual C in Elastic Beanstalk

Question

I am searching for a command that I can use in Elastic Beanstalk configuration file to install Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio which I need for my web project to run.

I tried installing using msi which I built from the exe and put on S3 but it returned timeout:

The following instances have not responded in the allowed command timeout time (they might still finish eventually on their own)

And I still get the error:

Could not load file or assembly 'Magick.NET-x86.DLL' or one of its dependencies. The specified module could not be found.

Any solution?

Below solution worked for me

1. Download the redistributable from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30679

2. Upload the redistributable to your S3 store and note the URL location

3. In the .NET project, create a folder named .ebextensions at the top level of the project

4. Create a file named myapp.config (or any name of your choice).

5. In the config file, place the following (files into myapp-1.config and commands into myapp-2.config):

  files:
    "c:\\somedirectoy\\vcredist_x64.exe":
      source: https://s3.amazonaws.com/yours3location/2012vcredist_x64.exe

   commands:
     instlVC:
         command: c:\\somedirectory\\vcredist_x64.exe /q /norestart
