InstallShield lets you associate InstallShield prerequisites with features to chain multiple MSIs together in a single installation.
It ensures that when your end users install a feature, the prerequisite is also installed (if it wasn’t already on their machine). Feature prerequisites are useful for applications or components that are used by only some configurations of the installed product and are not used during the installation itself.
InstallShield also still supports setup prerequisites not associated with any features. Setup prerequisites are installed before the main installation begins. They are useful for base applications and technology frameworks that must be installed for all configurations of the installed product or that provide functionality that is used during the installation itself.
