EXE to MSI Question

[DragonZeal]

Hi all,

I was wondering how you all would proceed to package a setup.exe.
I'm going to use Dropbox Offline Installer as an example.
How would you proceed?
Until now I copy the setup to Windows Temp and then I launch the setup like dropbox.exe /S with Launch Installed file Custom Action
If a better way exists I would like to know this.

THx

The recommended method to achieve this would be to use our prerequisites feature.

You could find more information regarding this subject here: How can I add a prerequisite that is not in the predefined list of prerequisites?

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Best regards,
Sorin

Hi

Thank you for your reply.

If I edit an MSI with AI the Prerequisites Tab isn't available.
I have certain MSI's which fails on Importing.
Any idea how to go around that?

Yes, indeed, in case of MSI edit Prerequisites is not available.
Can you please give us a detailed scenario of what you would like to achieve?

We are not sure why this happens. Please send us a download link of the installation which reproduces this issue to support at advancedinstaller dot com so we can investigate it.
