Options
Reboot system after installing this prerequisite
The user will be prompted to reboot the machine after the prerequisite is installed. If the user accepts a reboot, the machine will be automatically restarted and the installation will continue, otherwise the installation will be aborted.
Continue with main installation even if the prerequisite is not installed
When this option is unchecked, the main product installation will not be allowed until the prerequisite is installed.
This type of prerequisites should also have an appropriate launch
condition in the MSI.
Compression

This allows you to enable LZMA Compression for your prerequisite files.
In order to use compression, your prerequisite files must be
included in the EXE bootstrapper. This setting can be changed in the
Bootstrapper Tab page.
