    Install .Net and PowerShell 7

    Post by leewalker »

    Product, version and build: PowerShell Studio 2024 v5.8.248
    Operating system: Windows 11
    PowerShell version(s): 7.4.5

    *** Please add details and screenshots as needed below. ***

    When running my compiled MSI on another machine (Sandbox), I'm being asked to install .Net and since PowerShell 7 isn't installed, I have to install that as well for my Windows Forms app to run.
    I am unable to get these 2 additional requirements to install after the MSI install. I've set this up in 'Custom Actions' but obviously doing something wrong.

    After running the EXE after installation -

    The Custom Actions settings (I've tried a number of different options here) -

    The Files and Folders settings. The bottom folder (redist) contains the .Net and PowerShell installers that successfully copy into the Install folder when running the MSI -

    Any and all help is appreciated!

    As you added a folder to the installer ('redist'), the files in that folder are also installed in a folder underneath your INSTALLDIR.
    So in your custom action you need to refer to the file using that folder name. In your example that would be
    redist\windowsdesktop-runtime-8.0.8-win-x64.exe
