Basic MSI - Setup.EXE and MSI Requirements
I'm using BasicMSI project and using a Setup.EXE to a compressed single EXE. I require Windows Installer 4.5. When installing on a computer (Server 2003 R2) that had Windows Installer 3.1 and didn't have 4.5, the Setup.EXE Extracts... Then dies. No clue why. When I did a VOICEWARMUP on the customer's computer, the log explained the situation, I upgraded the customer's Windows Installer to 4.5 and all was well.
Is there a reason why the Setup.EXE can't see that and give a simple warning that this installer requires Windows Installer 4.5?
I'm not including 4.5 installer to keep the payload smaller.
