InstallShield 2009
Project
The following project types include support for InstallShield prerequisites:
All of these project types include support for the setup prerequisite type of InstallShield prerequisite. Basic MSI and Web projects include support for the feature prerequisite type.
An InstallShield prerequisite is an installation for a product or technology framework that is required by your product. Some examples of InstallShield prerequisites that are included with InstallShield are Java Runtime Environment (JRE), Jet 4.0, and SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP2. You can add any of the existing InstallShield prerequisites to your installation projects and configure many of their settings. You can also create your own InstallShield prerequisites, and add them to your projects.
Including InstallShield prerequisites in your project enables you to chain multiple installations together, bypassing the Windows Installer limitation that permits only one Execute sequence to be run at a time. The Setup.exe setup launcher serves as a bootstrap application that manages the chaining.
