Specifying the Installation Order of Prerequisites

InstallShield 2008

Project

This information applies to Windows Installer–based projects.

The Redistributables view is where you specify the order in which the prerequisites should be installed if you include more than one in your project.

Task

To specify the order in which the setup prerequisites should be installed on the target machine:

In the Redistributables view, add the necessary setup prerequisites to your project if you have not already done so.

Right-click any redistributable and click Set Setup Prerequisite Order. The Setup Prerequisite Installation Order dialog box opens.

Select a prerequisite in the list and then click the up or down arrow to move it up or down in the order for installation.

Tip

If the Windows Installer engine or the .NET Framework must be installed before a setup prerequisite is installed, you can open the setup prerequisite in the Setup Prerequisite Editor and configure it as necessary. For more information, see Specifying Parameters for Installing a Prerequisite.
