I have an existing setup for our product which creates an MSI file. Now I need to install a third-party package, which comes as an EXE file (it was built using 7-Zip's installation feature, if that matters). First, I tried adding it as a Prerequisite Pre-install. That worked, EXCEPT that it changed my installer file from MSI to EXE.
I found this which explained why: viewtopic.php?t=27609 (and that all makes sense).
However, when I tried moving the prerequisite from the Pre-install folder to the Feature-based folder (and changed the Package Type back to Single MSI), my prerequisite is NOT being run.
What boat am I missing here? I'm not really an "installer guy", so I'm floundering a bit here. Any guidance GREATLY appreciated!
Cheers,
