As a courtesy Installshield provides many common Prerequistes already built and to used straight away within your project. Sometimes however a prerequisite that you require may not be available - or you may need to create your own custom prerequisite. In these cases you can use Installshield's Prerequiste Editor to create your own using the steps below:

1. Select Tools → Start Prerequisites Editor

 
 
 

2.Go to File→ Save as → Name the file (ex:Notepad++), save that .prq file into

C:\Program files\InstallShield\2019\SetupPrerequisites.
