Launch conditions
My BasicMSI installer has 3 launch conditions...
SQL Analysis Services
SQL Integration Services
SQL Server 2005, SP1 or greater
I created launch conditions for each condition and they are working. However, it is not very user friendly. The user launches the installer and SQL Analysis Services is not installed and it prompts the user to install it. The user installs SQL Analysis Service and restarts the installer and SQL Integration Services is not installed and it prompts the user to install it. The user install SQL Integration Services and restarts the installer and SQL Server 2005 RTM and it prompts the user to install SP1 and restart.
Bottom line, is there a way to check all launch conditions at once or is there a better way to do this altogether?
Thanks!

These seems like a reasonable request. Has anyone done anything like this before?

LaunchConditions cannot be ordered, so you do run into problems like this. One alternate approach is to use Type 19 (Error) custom actions which you sequence and thus control the ordering of. You could try to take an approach of an ordered error for each kind of scenario, or try to build up a list of missing requirements (adding to a property with Set-Property custom actions) and then display it all at once in a single error.

Why wouldn't you a prerequisite rather than a launch condition to get these 3 pieces installed?
