InstallAware

Hi,

Our Servers are managed, means we KNOW what's on them, OS, SP, NET version, IIS version, etc'.
but, to be on the safe side, i prefared to check before installing the application, and to display a message about the missing component.
InstallAware have this "Application runtimes" that Check and Install the prereqisite component.

Is there an option just to check ? (and leave the installation to another team)

regards,
Zvika Castel

Dear Zvika,

Your topic has been moved to Technical support forum.

you can do as you like!

Just add few lines of code to your script to verify what it is required.
As guideline you can use the same way used by any checkruntime script ... but in your case you will termintae the installation if the runtime is required.

Regarding the OS requirement, you can do by your self adding specific code line or using the "Application Requirements" page in the Design View iA Ide.

Regards.

O.k. got the idea, thanks.

To Whom It May Concern

When you add the Prerequisites actions, you get 2 additional scripts into the MsiCode:
The first is for checking thr prereq' and the second is for installing the prereq'.
if you don't want to install the prereq', and just to display a warning, you should REMOVE the second script line from the code flow.
if not, the package of the prereq' will be added to the project output package and increases it's size.

hope this will help.

You are correct ... but it was just what I said.
Probably I haven't been clear enough .
