Summary
As a courtesy Installshield provides many common Prerequistes already built and to used straight away within your project. Sometimes however a prerequisite that you require may not be available - or you may need to create your own custom prerequisite. In these cases you can use Installshield's Prerequiste Editor to create your own using the steps below:
- Select Tools → Start Prerequisites Editor
- Go to File→ Save as → Name the file (ex:Notepad++), save that .prq file into
C:\Program files\InstallShield\2019\SetupPrerequisites. - Condition:
- Select Files to include→ click on add and browse the file which you want to add it as a prerequisites file,
- On the Application to run tab, Select the application you wish to launch.
- Save and close the window.
- Go to Redistributables View- > Refresh and search notepad, now you can see the Notepad++ prerequisites available.
