Hi,
I have several installs with the same 10 launch conditions. They search the user's computer for required supporting apps, OS and service packs, and make sure that certain applications are not currently running on the machine. My question is, during an administrative install, should these launch conditions be enforced?
In my case, one of the installs enforces these conditions and the other installs do not. The install that enforces the conditions is not working correctly. Since appsearch, launch conditions, and my custom actions are missing from the administrative sequence, I can see that the properties are not set correctly, but how do I fix it? I have a workaround but want to understand the internals. I have not modified the administrative sequence or dialogs.

Are Launch conditions enforced for admin mode?

Since an administrative install doesn't actually install the application, but simply copies your setup files to a network location, you usually don't need launch conditions for an administrative install.

I don't want the launch conditions to be enforced, since they are not relevant to the administrative sequence. Can you explain why the launch conditions are being enforced during the administrative sequence on one of my installs? I have them set up to use AppSearch and custom actions during the install sequence where they are working well. I don't know how to remove them in the admin sequence, since appsearch and launch conditions do not exist in this sequence. Is this a bug in MSI or InstallShield?

I suspect it is something else. Generate a verbose log file to see what's going on.
