dependencies

In an installer please could we have the option to select and order dependencies (i.e., other installers)?  

Some install applications might not check to see if their product is already installed though, so this feature might need to have the option to check a registry or file path. 

Thanks :)

We are adding 2 features that will help here.  One is chaining installers, so that you can have one installer deploy another as an action.  The other is conditions on actions, so that actions can check things such as files and registry before the action runs.

Hi Adam,

Sounds good :)

Would chained installers be run after the main installer has run? Would you be able to run .NET, for example, before your main installer? I suppose if it's added as an action, it can be put anywhere? 

Thanks!

You're right, they'll be actions so you can run them at any point.
