Hai there guys. First of all I'm sorry if my question is kinda not suitable. I just wanna ask, I got 3 installer and I wanna make a single installer that when it is ran, it will automatically install the 3 other installer. I tried using some 3rd party software, but it doesn't automatically install the installers. It just kinda of download the installer and the user still need to click and install the installer manually.

Sorry if my english is not that good.

Solution 1

A simple workaround would be to install the other installers as prerequisites for one of them.
Deploying Prerequisites (Visual Studio) [^] explains how to set prerequisites.

Note this is just a workaround.

is it possible??because i thought we need to make our custom installer first then only can prerequisite other installers. I just wanna compile a Netbean installer, java SDK installer and also textpad installer into a single installer.

(sorry but i was quite new to this kinda thing.)
