How to Display a Dialog Before the Prerequisites?
To make a long story short, I have an install (Basic MSI project) where I need to inform the user of what is about to happen before it happens, including before the prerequisites start installing.
Is there a way I can cause a dialog to be displayed before the prerequisites get installed?
I tried moving the sequence of my dialog (in InstallUISequence) to be bumped to the top, but it still gets displayed after the prereqs.
InstallShield 10.x-2008 use Setup.exe to deploy prereqs so it'll always happen before anything in side your MSI. However, InstallShield 2009 has the concept of Feature Prereqs that don't fire until after you pass through the UI sequence. This should be able to do what you want.
Thanks for the reply.
