The Prerequisite Options Tab

This page allows you configure various options for a prerequisite.

General

Force installation of this prerequisite

This option will not allow the installation of the product until the prerequisite is installed.

It is recommended to also specify a Launch Condition for this type of prerequisite

Reboot

Forces the reboot of the machine after the installation of this prerequisite. The user will be prompted to reboot the machine. If the user accepts a reboot the machine will be automatically restarted and the installation will continue, otherwise the installation will be aborted.

Parent Prerequisite

Choose another prerequisite that conditions the installation of this prerequisite. If the parent prerequisite is not installed, the installation of this prerequisite will not run (this prerequisite will be installed only if it's parent is installed). However, you can install the parent prerequisite, but not install this prerequisite.

Compression

LZMA Compression

This allows you to enable LZMA Compression for your prerequisite files.

In order for the compression to take place, your prerequisite files must be included in the EXE bootstrapper. This setting can be changed from the Bootstrapper page.
