Re: Add In Installer Environment Page

Hello, Indeed, you are right, it seems that the "Environment" page is not visible in an AddIn project. However, that does not mean that you can not use it. In the left pane, simply use the "Find" field to find the required page: Find.png Hope this helps. Best regards, Catalin

Re: Feature based prerequisite does not work.

As my colleague Sorin mentioned, this is a Windows Installer limitation and unfortunately I am not aware of any other workaround.

Please let me know if there is anything else I could help you with.

Best regards,

Hello Alexander, Could you please try to retrieve the "ProgramFilesFolder" property instead? The AI_ProgramFiles is a custom made property and I am not quite sure if you can retrieve its value. With that being said, your script could look like this: $programFiles = AI_GetMsiProperty Progra...
