Im relatively new to using Installshield but am getting the just of it slowly. I am building an installation for my VB6 project using installshield but my app requires 3 other third party applications installed as well. Is it possible that when installshield runs to prompt the user saying you need to install "Blah Blah .exe" before continuing and then have a next button that runs the app and so on for the other 2 apps and then only does it install everything my app needs. I have hunted around the help files but had no luck. Any help or guid lines will be much appreciated.
It sounds like you're describing the behavior of InstallShield's Prerequisites. You can use the Prerequisite Editor to create a definition for these prerequisites, and then include them in your installation. Search on that term for some good starting points in our help files.
Thanks for your reply, i will look into your suggestion. Sorry i wasnt very descriptive in my first post but for example my app requires that the SQL Native client 10.0 be installed as well and i cant just add the redistrabutables therefore need a way to launch the native client setup from my install wizard.
