Checking prerequisite without automatically installing it

[EricHarmon]

Hi, I have InstallAware developer. Is there a way to check a prerequisite and alert the user to install it without installing automatically?

For example, if I had an Internet download and I didn't want to put .NET 3.5 on my web site, I could check for .NET 3.5 on the user's machine and if it isn't there, I could tell him he needs to install .NET 3.5 before running my setup.

Thanks in advance...

Sure,

You just need to find the way to check whether the pre-requisite is installed or not. If it is not installed, tell the user through a messagebox that he/she needs to install the prerequisite first. After that, you can include a Terminate Install command to finish the installation.
