In enterprise environments set the dependencies with your software-deployment-tool. Otherwise you can set LaunchConditions directly in the MSI:
LaunchCondition
LaunchCondition
| CODE |
Condition Description --------------------------------------------------------------- FLASH8 OR FLASH7 OR FLASH6 Install Flashplayer first! |
(expand the Properties for more versions to FLASH5, 4, etc.)
AppSearch
| CODE |
Property Signature_ ------------------------ FLASH8 SigFlash8 FLASH7 SigFlash7 FLASH6 SigFlash6 |
(expand the Properties for more versions to FLASH5, 4, etc.)
RegLocator
| CODE |
Signature Root Key Name Type ------------------------------------------------------------------- SigFlash6 0 ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash.6 2 SigFlash5 0 ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash.5 2 SigFlash4 0 ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash.4 2 |
Keep in mind to move the Action LaunchConditions in InstallUISequence & InstallExecuteSequence after AppSearch Action! (In InstallShield this is necessary too!)
The corresponding Registry-Keys are:
HKCR\ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash.6
HKCR\ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash.5
HKCR\ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash.4

I am looking for Flash Player 9. And the Flash Player 9 setup available with me is not creating any registry entry looking like ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash.9.
Registry entries from ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash.1 to ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash.1 are already there on fresh installed WinXP machine.
By-the-way, Is there any difference between Flash Player and Flash Plugin?
The setup I have says it is installing Flash Player, but actually it is looking for browser's plugin folder to install Flash Plugin
