prerequisites still missing

Hello,

I added a 3rd party exe that installs some drivers as a prerequiste. It is not however an actuall msi installer exe. The exe executes and completes successfully returning 1. However I get the message "prerequisites still missing" message and the AI installer indicates the prerequiste is still missing. This is with "global prerequisite" checked. There is nothing in the log.

If use "feature-based", I get "Warning 4154, Required Application prerequiste was not correctly installed. Continue with installation of..." (even though "force" is selected. The log indicates

Action 09:58:38: AI_VerifyPrereq. Verifying prerequisites
Warning 4154. Required Application prerequisite was not correctly installed. Continue installation of ....?
Action ended 10:01:10: AI_VerifyPrereq. Return value 3.
Action ended 10:01:10: INSTALL. Return value 3.

Is this due to the 3rd party exe not being a msi install?

Re: prerequisites still missing

Hi,

Each prerequisite uses install conditions to determine if it's installed correctly or not. Please make sure that you are using appropriate conditions for your prerequisite. For example, it can be a registry entry or file installed by the prerequisite.
