chained package not running at all

[estern]

I have added a changed package
in package path I have a reference to an MSI
I have a folder specified (mychainedpackage)
UI Level is Basic UI and progress
Logging is enabled

after building the full msi and running the main product is installed but the chained package is not, no log is created

what else do I need to do?

thanks

Hi,

As specified in our user-guide the machine on which you are running the full package needs to have Windows 4.5 or higher installed
otherwise the chained MSI is automatically ignored by Windows Installer.

Can you please check your version of Windows Installer, and update it if its older.

Regards,
Bogdan

How do you check if Windows installer 4.5 is installed ? Is this a launch condition ?

Hello,

This feature will have no effect on systems which have Windows Installer 4.0 or earlier.

You can check your Windows Installer version by running the following command line in your start menu console:

Code: Select all

msiexec /?

You can also set this as a launch condition from the Launch Conditions page -> System Launch Conditions Windows Installer minimum version.

All the best,
Mihai
