How to install other exe to install as part of my installer

I have an exe built using Java, Now i need to do code signing of exe and signing of my installer.
I have the pfx file to sign it and have added in the section "Digital Signature" Now i have placed the exe in "Files and Folders" section.
How to make advanced installer install this exe rather than placing it in the Program files.

Hello Abhinay,

In order to achieve this, you can add your .EXE as a prerequisite. Please have a look on "Add Prerequisite" section of our "Creating a Professional package" article.

Also, please have a look on the "Prerequisites Page" article as well.

Hope this helps.

All the best,

Hello Abhinay,

First of all, please accept my apologies for the delayed reply, but we were quite busy lately.

Depending on the prerequisite, I think that this should be done automatically if the prerequisite from your package has a higher version than the prerequisite already present on the target machine.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
