Multiple install options

[Lee Bornstein]

We have written three different install scripts using Advanced Installer(Product1.exe, Product2.exe and Product3.exe) and would like to know how to write another installer that would ask the user which one of the three install scripts to use.

When user runs SETUP he's asked to choose:
* Product1
* Product2
* Product3

When he choice is made, the appropriate EXE is run.

Hopefully you can steer me in the right direction.

Hi,

You do not need to create another install package but rather you should use a setup launcher. There are several available (just search on Google), but most of them are commercial. Moreover, it is very easy to write one yourself.

If you do not have C/C++ programming experience, I would suggest using AutoIt, a freeware BASIC-like scripting language designed for automating the Windows GUI. It can generate compiled executable scripts that can run without AutoIt being installed. See the following page for details: http://www.hiddensoft.com/autoit3

You can find installation instructions for AutoIt and the AutoIt SciTE editor here:

Hope this helps.

Thank you.

Autoit seems like the appropriate solution for me.
