Fusion installer

Hi,

This is my first time here and I have some doubts about Advanced installer.

I'm making a installer of an application that has many other applications.
I wanna insert all the other application folders and create a menu with the options of installing those applications.

For example:

Application X
Viewer

If I select application, the installer has to call the installer of ONLY the application X, and if I select viewer, the installer has to call the installer of only the viewer.

Is it possible to do this with advanced installer?

Thanks a lot!

Hi,

I'm not sure about how you want to package these installations, but what you need can be done like this:

1) If you have direct access to all the files and registry entries of these installations (they are not third party installation packages) then you can organize them into features in the "Organization" page.

In this case, in the "Dialogs" page you add the "SetupTypeDlg" dialog which allows the end user to select which features (applications) will be installed.

2) If these applications are already packed in installation packages then you can add them as prerequisites for your application. You can read more about prerequisites here:
