The intent is that a parent setup.exe shall be calling a particular setup.exe program corresponding to Exchange, SQL or Oracle based on what is installed on the machine. The requirement is how does the parent setup.exe know what is installed on the system so that three custom actions could be created which are invoked based on the above installation.
Are there any properties in Install Shield through which the same could be known?

I don't think there are any predefined properties you can use. You will need to add your own ystem Searches.

Do you mean to say that i test for a file or a registry setting to see whether the same has been installed?
