My project is a "workstation setup" utility [wssetup.exe] which gets delivered inside a setup.exe. The setup.exe installs some pdf documents on a server.
The wssetup.exe is made available for the administrator's use to install on the client machines. All the wssetup.exe contains are 2 informational documents plus the Acrobat Reader install file. It also provides a shortcut to the pdf documents on the server.
My problem is that when running the wssetup.exe (i.e., the workstation install), I need the administrator to be able to choose whether to also install Acrobat or not. Currently, the Acrobat install is launched regardless of which package is chosen.
My Screens:
1. Welcome
2. Select Install
3. Select Packages
4. Shortcut Folder
5. Create additional shortcut to server (all this screen does is allow the admin to specify where the docs were placed on the server). I then store this info in a variable I call %NetDrv%. In the System Editors, Shortcut Icons tab, I create a shortcut to the files at %NetDrv%.
6. Ready to install
7. Finished
Okay. In wssetup.exe, the info docs are not specifically part of any package, thus the files should be installed by default, correct? So my Minimal Install defines no additional files.
My Complete Workstation Install package adds the Acrobat Reader to the default unpackaged files.
In the Shell Operations screen, on the execute tab, I have an execute program stipulated for the Acrobat Reader install with the Condition stipulating "Complete Workstation Install".
What am I doing wrong? I had this working at one point, but don't know how I lost it somewhere along the way with all the tweaking I've done!
