Multiple version of same file in different preRequisites

Hi All,

I seem to have a problem with creating multiple pre-requisites which use different versions of the same files in order to install a driver.

I have a different pre-requisite for each o/s type, e.g. Win7, Win7x64, WinXP, each with install conditions limiting them to running on their respective o/s.

Each pre-requisite uses a different group of additional files, with each group containing identically named files: (evsbc7.inf, evsbc7.cat and evsbc7.sys) along with a setup.exe which is run by the prerequisite.

The problem is that each pre-requisite ends up using whichever was the last group of additional files I added, instead of each seperately having it's own group of the right version of file.

I guess this is because Advanced Installer is not seeing them as separate files because each group have the same file names?

Can anyone help me out with a solution to make this work?
Thanks!
Daniel

Hello and welcome to Advanced Installer forums,

Thank you for your interest in Advanced Installer.

In this case you can define a unique extraction folder for each of your prerequisite item. Just go to "Prerequisite Setup File" tab and edit the "Folder" field.

If you have any questions let us know.

All the best,
Daniel
