Just wondering if this was possible?

Can we add our own core prerequisites to the list in Setupbuilder?

I'm beginning to get a set of programs etc that I may or may not like to
add to an install depending on the customer.

Just ticking a box would make things easy.

regards,
Michael

Michael,

This is an interesting question and idea.

A "Core PreRequisite" is nothing more than a pre-built include script (.sbi)
that deploys a specific Windows redistributable.

You can create your own Custom PreRequisite and use "#include script..." to
add it the script. See attached screenshots. This demo deploys the VC++
2012 and VC++ 2013 redistributables and (for customer XYZ) an "IP Server"
PreRequisite package.

I'll check if it is possible to add a "Custom PreRequisites" item to the
Visualizer to display the Custom PreRequisite.

Thanks Friedrich,

My thinking was that if this is something that may be included into
every install then having them "linked in" just by ticking a box would
be cool :-) (a sample of the lazy programmer's paradox).

cheers,
Michael
