combine two installer in one installer

[anoop]

Hi,
earlier i had asked in ma post that i have two installer in which i need to combine those two installer into one. for reply for my earlier post u have suggested me to create a new proj and then add these two installer into that as a pre-req as a chain based installer. when done that while installing the installation page shows as pre-req and i don't want those text to be shown while choosing. i need to put a clean display with check box option like \

1 Installer one
2 installer two

based on this check box the exe should get executed. please guide me.

just to addup

Also once installed that option should disable when ever the customer run the installer. ( suppose if the user clicks on 1 installer one then the application should install and if the user run the main installer for the second time the 1 installer one should be disabled as it is already installed). This is what i require. so please let me know the steps for all this. For both the installer there will be a reg entry in the installer.

Hello,

Here're the big lines you need to consider:
- add your prerequisites as feature-based or post-install
- if the CustomizeDlg predefined functionality and appearance doesn't suite your requirements, you can implement the following article:
How do I show a custom feature selection dialog?
- add a couple of registry searches from the Search page and use their names to add enable/disable control conditions on the checkboxes

Hope this helps,
Mihai
