No sorry. I meant the prerequisite is started by clicking on setup.exe. Then a dialog appears if the launch condition for the prerequisite is not satisfied and the user can confirm to install it. As I remember the bootstrapper aborts if the user cancels the prerequisite installation. So he is obliged to confirm in order to install the application.
At first I thought you mean the prerequisite is directly embedded into the setup.exe what the MS Bootstrapper cannot do. 2011/3/30 Paul Brook <brook.p...@gmail.com>: > Ok that worked.
