Planning for Issues that Could Occur with an InstallShield Prerequisite Installation

InstallShield 2024

Sometimes after an InstallShield prerequisite installation has been run, the conditions still indicate that the InstallShield prerequisite needs to be installed. If that occurs, either of the following may be true:

•

The InstallShield prerequisite was not successfully installed.

•

The conditions that were specified for the InstallShield prerequisite were not accurate.

For example, a condition may indicate that the InstallShield prerequisite needs to be installed if a particular file does not exist on the target machine. If the file is still missing even after the InstallShield prerequisite is installed, it is possible that the condition should not have been created. The Behavior tab of the InstallShield Prerequisite Editor lets you indicate how the installation should proceed under these types of circumstances.

To plan for potential issues related to an InstallShield prerequisite’s installation:

In the InstallShield Prerequisite Editor, open the prerequisite that you want to modify.

Click the Behavior tab.

In the If, after installing the prerequisite, the conditions still indicate it is required list, click the appropriate item.
