Re: How to conditionaly run a second setup program
Hi,
I think I solved the acrobat one.
I created a small sample to install notepad and set Acrobat as a software prerequisite. It worked.
But I still couldn't see any differences in my setup. So, I deleted mine and rebuilt it from scratch. Then it worked.
My guess is when I upgraded to 7.3 it ...

Re: How to conditionaly run a second setup program
HI,
That looks like that should work, but it's not working.
I have setup two Software Prerequisites, JRE 1.6 and Acrobat Reader 9.0, and neither one of them install.
I guess I must be missing something???
I have gone over the page you referenced a few times but my settings seem to match what it ...

Re: How to conditionaly run a second setup program
Hi,
Both setups are .exes from third parties so I chose the launch file.
The driver install works perfectly.
However, the adobe reader fails with a file not found error:
The system cannot find the file specified.
File: D:\WINNT\Installer\MSIA0E.tmp.exe
Info ID: 2.1240.03.2.20020

Re: How to add text to the Verify Ready Dialog
The enterprise version is rather more expensive so we may forgo that.
I was thinking to display the selected options, location, and user name.
That would make the prompt to review and change any options a bit more meaningful.

How to add text to the Verify Ready Dialog
HI,
Many setup programs list what they are about to do on the Verify Dialog.
Is there a tutorial that tells how to do this?
I see talk of a Dialog Editor in the help file, but I don't see this in AI? Is this tool that I need to use to add this text? If so, where is it?

How to conditionaly run a second setup program
Hi,
Is there a tutorial someplace that tells how to run a second setup program from the first setup based in the conditional inclusion of a Feature?
In this case I have two such features:
1. A set of drivers for the hardware associated with my product.

HI,
Ok, it's working now and even uninstalls.
Now, I have two other questions I'll put in a new thread.

Re: How to copy a file to %userprofile%
Hi,
Thanks for including the sample.
I notice that it's a bit different from the Guide, and when I tried it the Guide way it didn't work.
I'm going back and redoing it according to your sample.

Is there a way to do this?
