Re: Disallowing installation of component higher versioned k

Thanks Bogdan,

I have done this and it is working. However I am very concerned with this bug. This seems to have occurred out of the blue and I have not had this problem before. The issue is how are we supposed to know if this is occurring? to keep testing retesting every installer on every ...

The command line is

"[SystemFolder]rundll32.exe" printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /if /b "Complete Picture PDF Printer" /f "[WindowsFolder]inf\ntprint.inf" /r ...

Re: prerequisite missing after install

I managed to spot the problem. When you add the prerequisites it does not automatically add the product version of the msi file you are including. You have to do a search on the install conditions page of the prerequisites tab. I would have thought this would have been an default setting. so ...

Re: Shared PDF Printer

Thanks for your comments Mihai,

The prerequisite option seems to work perfectly in our case. Last question is there a link to your technical documentation that shows when new component GUID's generated. I find it confusing when you save as a template the file extension remains the same so it's very ...

How do you check if Windows installer 4.5 is installed ? Is this a launch condition ?

Re: Shared PDF Printer

Would it not be eaiser to create an installer for the printer only then chain this to the other 2. This way I can control the version of the printer separately from the program's. and also users can choose to uninstall the printer if they want to. I also wouldn't have to worry about the GUID.
