This is working fine.

Visual C++ 2008 uses shared side-by-side assemblies that are installed
into the native assembly cache (WinSxS folder on the Windows root).
The manifests of the applications describe their dependencies on
Visual C++ libraries, including version info.

If you don't have the matching version already installed, then the
installer should install the version referenced in the manifests.

If the version is already installed, the VC runtime installer does
nothing. But in this case, it's polite to detect that the version is
already installed and don't launch it, although many application
launch it anyway "just in case".

We could put the values in the registry and then read them every new
installation.

Same as option 2.
