As you’ve discovered, one can’t pass parameters when calling a PowerShell Script File Name. Do what Dan L. suggested and pass your needed parameters vis [PROPERTIES] Here is a simple PowerShell .ps1 file you can try that gets a property. It includes a MessageBox that comes up in the middle of install that can be used to debug. Also includes a line that writes to the Installer log. If you place this Custom Action in the User Interface sequence you can see the dialog when running in Test User Interface mode. You can also run the script in the PowerShell ISE app. You’ll get an error when it tries the get-property and trace-info as those are InstallShield-only components but it will run and you’ll get the dialog. ## $Value1 = get-property -name INSTALLLEVEL [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.Windows.Forms") $Message = "INSTALLLEVEL: $Value1 " $Title = "Property Check" $Buttons = "OK" $Icon = "Information" $oReturn=[System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox]::Show($Message, $Title, $Buttons, $Icon) trace-info -LogMessage "INSTALLLEVEL was $value1" ##

As a check I started with a clean VM and did a fresh install of InstallShield2015SP1PremierComp.exe And all the Prerequisite .prq files are present. First, check to see if any or all .prq files are in your InstallShield folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\InstallShield\2015\SetupPrerequisites Next check in your InstallShield IDE: Tools > Options > Prerequisites tab The path to your “Prerequisite File Locations” is correct

Have you tried System Search under Behavior and Logic?

Also, check the install log to make sure the Custom Action is indeed not running. Look for: Doing action: xxxCustomActionName Skipping action: xxxCustomActionName (condition is false)

You can make your own. Start with a blank text file. Cut and paste the section below. Save file with the name: Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.2 Full.prq Move this file to C:\Program Files (x86)\InstallShield\2016\SetupPrerequisites Open InstallShield, go to Redistributables pane. Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.2 Full should be visible. Right-click > Download Selected Item… The download link is good as of September 2016. +++++++++ +++++++++

Thesorus, No, is does not replace the “latest” automatically. However, it’s easy to do via command line if your Patch paths are all set up. In interesting note, it’s best if you delete the old “latest” before extracting the new one as the extraction doesn’t overwrite the old files. Here is some example command lines: rd /s /q "%patch_dir%\Latest1" "%root_dir%\Full\Web\DiskImages\DISK1\Setup.exe" /a /s /v"/qn TARGETDIR=\"%patch_dir%\Latest1""

Set to Yes. The default "Cache Path" is [LocalAppDataFolder]Downloaded Installations

Have you checked the installer log file to see what file is causing the error? If you search these forums for "1001" you'll get a lot of hits.

Can't understand why a simple Not Installed Didn't work. Try: Not REMOVE ~= "ALL"

Look at Registry Key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Full\ In that key use one of the following Name/Data pair: Version < xxx Release < xxx It depends on what exact version of .NET you are installing. Then set your Prerequisite Condition as needed.
