Hi!

Is it possible to deny install via .msi? And allow only via setup.exe?
It's needed for proper localization installer dialogs, created using ISD.

You could package your setup as a self extracting single file setup.exe. Or you specify a custom property in setup.ini and abort the install if this property is not set (i.e. setup was launched directly from the msi file). Be careful not to block maintenance operations (uninstall, repair, modify, update)

I've used custom property method with LaunchCondition table and this works fine! Thanks!
