In the installer I have the SQL Server instance browser so they can select and instance/DB and enter credentials. Can I also check at that point to make sure it is SQL 2016 or higher?
Thanks,

Re: SQL Server Browser Check selected Version
Hello Jason,
Unfortunately, we do not have predefined support for such a task. However, this may be achievable through a custom action.
For instance, you can have a script which verifies that and schedule that custom action to execute when the "Next" button is pushed.
If it is mandatory that the user have SQL Server 2016 for your setup, it may be an easier way to achieve this. For instance. you can go to "Launch Conditions" page --> "Software" tab and add a launch condition for SQL Server 2016:
Upon installation, if SQL Server is not installed on the target machine, the setup will fail, spawning the following message box:
However, please keep in mind that the launch conditions are evaluated right when the setup starts, meaning that the user won't make it to the SQL Dialog.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Catalin
