My installation requires .NET framework 2.0 which in turn requires Windows Installer 3.0. I understand how to detect the .NET framework. But how do I specify that Windows Installer 3.0 should be installed beforehand? Furthermore, can I avoid bundling Windows Installer 3.0 into my install.exe but have it downloaded from my website only when it is really needed?
Thank you very much.

Hi,
The prerequisites are installed in order that they appear in the "Prerequisites" list from "Builds" page. Here how you can specify Windows Installer 3.0 as prerequisite:
Go to "Builds" page and add new prerequisite. In the "Edit Prerequisites" dialog choose "URL" as "Location" and provide a valid URL to download from. At "Integrity Check" use "Browse" button to extract the file size and MD5 check.
Switch to "Install Conditions" tab and at "File To Search" type: [SystemFolder]msi.dll. As minimum version use 3.0.
Regards,
Gigi
