Hi all,  

 

This should be a quick one,

 

I have an installer that installs my application and its support files. 
Following a discussion earlier, it’s possible I may need to install some
additional add-on files.  Here are my requirements…

1) The add-on files should be installed separately to the main base
files.

2) The add-on files can only be installed if the base software is
present.

3) The base installation should continue to be updatable without
affecting the add-on files (assuming they are compatible of course).

4) The add-on files should be updatable but separately from the base
installation.

 

I would like to keep things as simple as possible and my initial thought
is to create a second stand-alone MSI that has conditions such that it
will exit if a FindReleatedProducts search for the base install fails.
Would that be the best way of achieving my requirements or is there a
better way?  

 

Any suggestions gratefully received.

 

Thanks
