HOWTO:Install Prerequisites depending on features selected

Hello AI Team and all,

I am looking for best practice on how to install prerequisite only *if* the user selects a feature that needs it.

Here is what I've done so far, but I don't know how to make the prereq. install based on some kind of conditional relating to features selected.

1. In Requirements->Prerequisites - I have my prereq. as a 'feature based' one, which I can install after main installer .MSI
2. In Deployment->Organization - i set my features up, so they are all visible when user clicks on 'Custom' button during install process

I need to link #1 based on #2, any help appreciated.

Re: HOWTO:Install Prerequisites depending on features selected

Hello,

Select your feature containing the prerequisite then click "Conditional install level". Input your condition and set the Level to 0 (not installed).
Let me know if this works for you.

Best regards,
