As pre-install action, i need to install an executable and run the executable and proceed with further install only if that exe exits with success. the exe is supposed measure the system harware requirments.
in the IA pre-install actions, i can not install/add file to install that executable and run. how should be running that execuatble as first thing in the install? need right suggestion to do my requirement.

Use 'Execute script/batch file' action. But I don't know how to check the exit status of the script.

hi
u can do so by adding the file into INSTALLER_TEMP_DIR (installer temp directory) and running the particular EXE from that location during PRE-INSTALLATION.

tell me if still u face any problems.
