IIS Prerequisite from Windows Installation CD

Hi,

I'm building an installation project for a web server which runs on IIS 7/7.5.
I've set a Launch Condition for minimum IIS version 7 but I cannot find a built-in prerequisite for IIS.
In case IIS 7/7.5 isn't already installed on the user's computer, I'd like IIS to be installed from the user's Windows Installation CD (or CD image, etc.). Which means: In case AI determines IIS 7/7.5 isn't installed, a dialog should appear, asking the user to insert his Windows Installation CD and then IIS should be installed and configured silently.

How can I accomplish that?

Re: IIS Prerequisite from Windows Installation CD

Hello,

Unfortunately we don't have any predefined functionality for this in Advanced installer. You can try to implement it yourself from your own EXE or by customizing the launch condition message.

The custom launch condition should search in this registry key:

Code: Select all

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\InetStp
The MajorVersion and MinorVersion DWORD values would be relevant in your case.

Best,
Mihai
