Prerequisite condition on the basis of custom exe
Hi,
I am creating a new prerequisite and want to install it on the result of some other executable file. I have an c++ exe which returns true or false on the basis of certain parameters, I want to install my prerequisite if this exe returns true. I can do it easily from .Net deployment project but I do get any way to achieve same thing in installshield.
Please guide me on how I can do it with Installshield.
Thanks
Ankur Bhargava

I did not fully understand the whole scenario. But if I have got it right you are looking for something like:
LaunchAppAndWait() which can be used to launch exes. This has a good number of options to suit many requirements.

Hi MSIYER
thanks for reply,
I want to achieve following
1) I have C++ exe which checks for a software. If software exits then it return true otherwise false
2) Now I want to add a prerequisite in Installshied msi installer that should execute this c++ exe. If this exe returns true then it would ask for its installation otherwise not.
Remember I am creating MSI installer. I hope this clears.
Thanks
