How can i stop an install if prerequisites not met ?

[Mel]

I have an install and i have defined prerequisites of .net 4.8.1, Now i would like to stop the install if the prerequisites are not met and maybe display a dialog telling the user to install the framework.

How can i go about and do that ?

thanks

Also i want the message to say need .net v4.8.1 , as of now there is no option to select that in Launch Conditions, it only goes up to 4.8. I have updated Advanced Installer and still no option

Hi,

Indeed we do not have built-in launch condition for .Net Framework 4.8.1. This improvement is already on our todo list and hopefully it will be available in a future version of Advanced Installer. When so we will update this forum thread.

In the meantime, as a workaround, you can simply copy the search condition from the "Prerequisites" view. And then just create a search in "Search" page that uses this registry location.

Finally create your own custom launch condition using the search result.

Let me know if you need more details on this.

How do i get to the screen under Custom Behaviour and enter the values. I have added NET481_SEARCH. I have tried to right click , but what do i select , is it "Add Search Location", "New Extended Search" ????

Hi,

You should use the "New Extended Search" context menu option in "Search" page.

Then you should go to "Launch Conditions" page -> "Custom" tab and define your custom launch condition.

Let me know if this helped.

All the best,
Daniel
