I want to install one prerequisite before installing product. This prerequisite has several dlls and its own setup.exe which launches its own Installation Wizard (user is asked to enter destination directory, license file etc..).
So I created Custom Prerequisite using Prerequisite Editor and set setup.exe in Application to Run tab there. I built my InstallShield project with this custom prerequisite included and tried to run it...
It works as I expected, but one thing I don't like:
I start main product installation-> it indicates that my Prerequisite should be installed first ->Installation Wizard of my Prerequisite component starts. Then I start moving through this Prerequisite's Installation Wizard instructions (clicking next->next etc...) and suddenly installation dialog of main product is bringing to front. Of course, I can drag main product installation dialog to another place of my screen and finish with Prerequisite installation dialog, but this is not a user-friendly installation way.
So, my question is - how to disable appearing of main installation dialog during running custom prerequisite installation dialog? In other words - user shouldn't have a possibility to continue with main product installation while installation of prerequisite is running!
