4 installer in 1

hello everybody

I created 4 installations (.exe) with advanced installer. that worked very well! There are 4 installers per version year. That means installation .exe 2020, installation .exe 2019, 2018 & 2017. Now I would like to create an installation setup, in which the user has the possibility to select the version he wants to install. If the user chooses 2018, then Installer2018.exe should simply be run. What is the easiest way to do it? It can be very simple because the .exe files have all the informations.

Hello and welcome to Advanced Installer forums,

In order to achieve that, you can create a suite installation.

Basically, what you need to do is to create a new project and add all your setups as prerequisites (in the "Prerequisites" page). For instance, you can add them all as feature-based prerequisites.

After doing so, you can add the "PrerequisitesDlg" dialog in the "Dialogs" page. This dialog will allow the user to select which version to be installed.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
