I have an InstallScript MSI Package:project.
Is there any way to have the setup.exe check pre-requisites before even attempting to download the app (web download)? I am using SQL 2012 as part of the pre-req and it's not supported on WinXP so I want it to stop after launching Setup.exe and BEFORE the pre-req screen even displays to tell them that XP isn't support with this version. This is just one example.
I know you can set the options under the project assistant / "specific operating system" section, but for 1, that isn't working, 2. I need it to be more specific (such as SP level), 3. I want a custom message, and 4. I don't want to have to buy a new version of IS every time MS releases a new O/S or O/S Service Pack so that the option appears there.
Is there any way to set "pre" pre-requisites? I've tried placing code in various places under installscript, but all of those execute after the launcher, and after the pre-req screen. Even the Initialize script doesn't execute until after everything else has been satisfied, and it downloads the necessary packages, etc...
Thanks!
