Multiple MSI's + EXE's instead of chained MSI's

[igi]

Hi,
I'm using chained installation with 3 MSI packages. Now, the vendor provide EXE instead of MSI. How to rebuild my project with dependency as follows?

1. NET Framework vX.X must be installed
2. Visual C++ vX.X must be installed
3. installation of one third party MSI package (32 or 64 bit based on target os)
4. if step 3 success then installation of third party EXE ( <-- here was the package replaced from MSI to EXE, so chained installation is no more possible)
5. if step 4 success then installtion of one own MSI package (32 or 64 bit based on target os)

Thank you,
Igor

Hi Igor,

1. NET Framework vX.X must be installed
2. Visual C++ vX.X must be installed

Please note that the .Net Framework and Visuall C++ Redistributable are in our predefined list of prerequisites. You can add them from the Prerequisites page. Just select the desired version. For details, please check our Frequently Asked Questions about prerequisites.

3. installation of one third party MSI package (32 or 64 bit based on target os)

You can add the third party MSI package as a Chained Package or as a feature-based prerequisite.

4. if step 3 success then installation of third party EXE ( <-- here was the package replaced from MSI to EXE, so chained installation is no more possible)

You can add this .EXE package as a feature-based prerequisite.

5. if step 4 success then installtion of one own MSI package (32 or 64 bit based on target os)

You can add the third party MSI package as a Chained Package or as a feature-based prerequisite.

Should there be any difficulty you encounter implementing something, please do not hesitate to contact me and I will gladly assist.

Best regards,
Dan

Hi Dan,

thank you. I defined all sub packages as Feature-based and the installation runs fine now. But the problem is now on uninstall of main setup. I defined the uninstall command line for some Feature-based sub packages but these will not be uninstalled.

Kind regards,
Igor

You're welcome Igor,

Can you please make sure that you are using the proper command line? Is the command line working as expected when you try to uninstall from CMD?

If YES, please send me the .AIP(project file) to support at advancedinstaller dot com so we can investigate it? If it contains confidential information you can send us a small test project which reproduce this behavior.

Best regards,
Dan
