Hello all,
I am new to InstallAware. I want to add the Visual Studio 2010 Tools for Office Runtime in the prerequisites/runtimes list of InstallAware Studio.
Is it possible through plug-in development? If yes, can anyone provide a sample to add our custom runtime?
Thanks,
Surya

Dear Surya,
Adding runtimes to InstallAware is quick and easy! Here is a tutorial on how to do it:

Hi giaviv,
In the document shown, there is no information how to access the .MSI file of our custom runtime.
I have verified include scripts of other existing runtimes, but there is no clue how the .MSI or setup.exe file paths are mentioned.
Thanks,
Surya

Dear Surya,
Most runtimes just wrap the msi in a file bag and run it with Run Program.
Check out the msi 4.5 runtime for a great example on that!

Hi Aviv,
Thanks for your answer.
I have installed the MSI 4.5 Plug-in and implemented this example for my custom runtime.
It's working fine now.
Thanks,
Surya
