Inserting Nested Installation Custom Actions into Sequences
InstallShield 2020
Project:This information applies to the following project types:
Important:Nested installations is a deprecated feature of the Windows Installer. Applications installed with nested installations sometimes fail because they are difficult for end users to service correctly. Microsoft Corporation recommends that you avoid using nested installations and nested-installation custom actions to install products that are intended to be released to the public. To learn more, see Concurrent Installations in the Windows Installer Help Library.
After you have created the custom action, you need to insert it into a sequence.
To insert a nested installation custom action into a sequence:
|
1.
|
In the View List under Behavior and Logic, click Custom Actions and Sequences. |
|
2.
|
In the Sequences explorer, under the Installation sequence, expand the User Interface item. The actions and dialogs that are scheduled for this sequence are listed. |
|
4.
|
Select the new custom action. |
|
5.
|
In the Condition box, type Not Installed. This indicates that the nested installation should be performed only the first time that the parent product is installed. |
