how to Invoke .exe file attached inside Advanced installer Prerequisite C# custom action

Question

I want install c++ redistributables as a prerequisite to my MSI package, using advanced installer custom action.

I have custom action ready but how could i access prerequisite file inside custom action ?

What path i need to give to locate that c++ redistributable.

I did search in advanced installer forum but could not find anything. I am new to advanced installer.

Answer 1

• From the Requirements section in the nav tree on the left, select Prerequisites
• From the column to the right of the nav tree, select Packages
• Scroll down to the Visual Studio section in the Predefined Prerequisites list box on the right side of the screen and select the redistributable you wish to include in your installer

Note the search box marked Filter prerequisites at the top right for convenience.

After that you'll be prompted to download and include it in the MSI and there are additional configuration options.
