Prerequisites

Hi -

My app has a number of prerequisites (for example, a minimum Internet Explorer version).

If the minimum prerequisite is not met/installed, how can I display a message showing the minimum required version of the prerequisite and asking the user to download it from Microsoft, install it, and then re-try installing my app?

A custom action would be the best way.

Generally speaking, this kind of condition should be checked at the application start. If you check this in installer the user can remove the prerequisite after installing the application and then the application will stop working...
