Can I Condition a Prerequisite based on the Setup.exe File Name?
I have a prerequisite package that should be white labeled for various companies/users. I can either make the prerequisite a general Product Name and not have white label specific/different packages.
Or, I was wondering, is there a way at runtime to condition a prerequisite .exe with the name of the Setup .exe file that is calling it?
I guess it would be easier to just have a generic name for this prerequisite, but I know there are some customer requirements as to what appears in Add Remove Programs, and yes, they want to see the installed package in ARP.
Any info appreciated!

I think I can accomplish what I need by assigning a Release Flag to the Prerequisite. I wonder if I can use the same release Flag I used on a Feature. ??
