Multiple installers in one

I just purchased the installer and I am learning to use it.

I would like my installer to install several applications with their own installers prior to copying my application files and setting the environment variables.

How do I do this?

For example, I would like to install PostgreSQL database for which I have two .msi installer files. Upon completion of this task, I would like to copy several perl files to the application folder, and set some environment variables.

If this can be done, is there a way I can make the Postgres install run without its own dialog boxes?

Thanks.
Mike

Hi,

You can do this very easily with Advanced Installer.

The files should be added in the Application Folder in the "Files and Folders" page, using the [Add file] toolbar button.

The environment variables can be added in the "Environment" page.

To install Postgres before installing your files you should specify both MSIs as prerequisites in the "Media" page, "Prerequisites" tab. For a silent install you must specify in the properties of a prerequisite the "/qn" option, in the "Command Line" field (without the quotes).

Hope this helps,
