Prerequisite problem
I have a project that has three different product configurations that is when it comes to the build output. I have one that creates a setup.exe, and then another that just creates an MSI. But I want to put some prerequisistes in the setup.exe like .NET 2.0 (x64). That's easy, but then my MSI configuration gives me an error because it says that I have to have a setup.exe to include the prerequisites.
I'm aware of that when I create an MSI, the prerequisites aren't applicable, but why is it an "error".
So how can I have the IDE ignore this error? Or how can I create a build configuration with a setup.exe bootstrapper with all the prerequistes taht I want and an internal MSI that contains the CABS? ( I don't want external cab files.

Try setting a release flag on your prerequisites. Then include that flag in the setup.exe configuration but not the MSI configuration.

Thank you.
That was the first thing I had looked for, but missed it the first time when I looked at the prerequisite properties.
Thanks again, on both replies.
