Just got the source files for a setup project that I’m trying to run

  • 0

Just got the source files for a setup project that I’m trying to run and I get this warning:

WARNING: Could not find prerequisite ‘Windows Installer 4.5’ in path
‘c:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\’

I check and of course there is no folder for the 4.5 installer as it says in the warning. I google and find out that I can’t download it separately but it’s allegedly included in the Visual Studio distribution.

Well… I’m running VS 2008 and it’s not there. I also looked on another computer that I recently installed VS 2008 express on and it’s not there either.

Anyone know where I can get it?

    Odd problem, that’s a Windows SDK version 7 bootstrapper. Right-click your Setup project, Properties, Prerequisites button. Does it actually appear in the list? Tick 3.1 instead of 4.5 if it does.
