InstallShield 2019
Project • Basic MSI projects include support for associating prerequisites with features.
To learn about the differences between setup prerequisites and feature prerequisites (which are the two types of InstallShield prerequisites), see Setup Prerequisites vs. Feature Prerequisites.
If an InstallShield prerequisite is associated with a feature in a project, it is considered to be a feature prerequisite. If it is not associated with a feature, it is considered to be a setup prerequisite.
Whenever you add an InstallShield prerequisite to an installation project, it is automatically added as a setup prerequisite by default. You can make it a feature prerequisite by associating it with one or more features that already exist in your project.
To associate an InstallShield prerequisite with a feature:
| 1. | In the View List under Application Data, click Redistributables. |
| 2. | In the list of redistributables, select the InstallShield prerequisite that you want to associate with a feature. |
Note • The InstallShield prerequisite’s check box must already be selected; this indicates that it is being included in your project. For more information, see Adding InstallShield Prerequisites, Merge Modules, and Objects to Basic MSI and InstallScript MSI Projects.
| 3. | In the Conditional Installation pane, select the check box of each feature to which you want to add this InstallShield prerequisite. |
If you want to associate the prerequisite with a new feature, you must first create it. To learn how to create a new feature, see Creating Features.
If you associate a prerequisite with all of the features in your project and then you later add a new feature, InstallShield does not automatically associate the feature prerequisite with the new feature.
Note • Feature prerequisites have some limitations that setup prerequisites do not have. For more information, see Setup Prerequisites vs. Feature Prerequisites.
