InstallShield 2015
You may want to specify an alternate URL for your .prq file if both of the following conditions are true:
| • | You have specified that one or more InstallShield prerequisites in your installation should be downloaded from the Web instead of being included in the Setup.exe file or on the source media. For more information, see Specifying the Run-Time Location for InstallShield Prerequisites at the Release Level. |
| • | It is possible that later you might want to redirect your end users to a different URL to download an InstallShield prerequisite’s application files. |
In this scenario, the .prq file that you include with your Setup.exe installation has an alternate URL specified. When an end user runs the installation, the target machine visits the alternate URL specified in the Setup.exe .prq file, downloads that .prq file, and uses the file URLs specified in the alternate .prq file to download the necessary files for the prerequisite application.
To specify an alternate URL for a .prq file:
| 1. | In the InstallShield Prerequisite Editor, open the prerequisite that you want to modify. |
| 2. | Click the Properties tab. |
| 3. | In the Alternate location to download .prq from if prerequisite files are being downloaded box, type the alternate URL for your .prq file. For example: |
http://www.mywebsite.com/MyPrq.prq
Note: InstallShield prerequisites do not have support for FTP URLs.
