JRE Prerequisite

Hi,

I have selected JRE in the prerequisite tab of Media. I want my msi to install JRE if not present. For this I have used ' File in Package'. I want to supply JRE along with my software.

But when I run installer on machine without JRE, no message is shown and neither is JRE installed. Only my files are copied to target computer.

What all I need to do to check JRE and install it before installing my files.
I have a .exe JRE installer

Please help

I have found the root of my problem. I was creating only the MSI. I need to create the EXE. Prerequisirts check can only be carried out if the installer EXE is created.

That's right. The prerequisites functionality is implemented in the EXE, as Windows Installer does not offer it.
