[SOLVED] Installshield Include redistributable with program setup exe

Installshield Include redistributable with program setup exe

Just got InstallShield Pro and I've created my setup singleimage executable.

I need to include the Visual C++ 2005 SP1 redistributable within the setup.

I've ticked the redistributable I want in the menu under 'Application Data'. I've right clicked it and changed the 'Build Location' to 'extract from setup.exe'.

However, when I build my setup, it has a folder called 'ISSetupPrerequisites' which has the VC++ redistributable in it.

Is there anyway I can incorporate this in to a single exe with my installer?

If I remove that folder it downloads the redistributable from the internet.

Thanks

Solution

Yes. You can include the contents of the ISSetupPrerequisites folder inside the exe by changing their location in the setup.exe tab of the Releases view. You can change this on a .prq by .prq basis by right clicking a prerequisite in the Redistributables view and selecting a location there.
