Core PreRequisites

[NewsArchive]

Hi Friedrich,

Under Core PreRequisites I added MS Windows Installer 3.1 (also I made sure
it's installed in the Redist-Manager). After the project compiled the
resulting Setup is about 2-3 mb larger.

However, if I run this setup on a PC without MS Installer 3.1 absolutely
nothing happens - means the MSI 3.1 won't be installed.

Help me :-)

Thanks

This could be too obvious, but I'll ask. Is it possible that MSI 3.1 is
already installed on this machine ;-)

You can check this with the "Get System Information (Windows Installer
Version)" script function.

Hanspeter,

I think it's caused by this if MSI 3.0 is installed.

I was unable to reproduce this because we have already fixed it in the
latest internal build.

Just change the following line:

Line 76: If %MSIVERSION% Version Less Than "3.0" Then

to:

Line 76: If %MSIVERSION% Version Less Than "3.1" Then

in the rt_msi32redist_x86-sbi and you are done.

Does this help?

Yeehaa, not this time :-)

MSI 3.0 already installed was exactly the problem. Script changed,
recompiled and everything is fine.

Thank you!!!
