how to check prerequisite using ism?
Hi,
1. I am creating a Basic MSI project, can anybody tell me how to check for the prerequisites through ism?
eg: -
i want to check for "Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable"....
-> In my MSI project, i am checking this using the following registry key through script:
Installer\\Products\\b25099274a207264182f8181add555d0
-> similarly i want to check for Basic MSI
2. Also how to check for 'greater or equal to' (using ism only)
eg:-
currently through 'Installation Requirements' wizard i can check for '.NET Framework 2.0'
but i want to check for 2.0 or greater

For the first one, anyway: For another MSI-based product, one option is to define a major-upgrade item in the Upgrades view that has the detect-only flag, looking for the product code (and not the condensed Products key). You can then use the property populated by the FindRelatedProducts action in conditions for what you want.
