build order

[Scott Linfoot]

Hi all

I have a problem. I am trying to build a WES platform. What I am after is
that I have an application called fish.exe which is really an setup
application (windows installer) that relies on the .Net framework 3.5. I
have set up a component that calls this application with a dependency of the
..net framework BUT no matter what I do, it wants to install this application
before either the network or .net framework is installed.

Now, I think I have tried virtually everything I can think of short of
putting a batch file in the startup folder to make this exe execute at the
end of everything. I have a video driver that is happy to install last and I
created my application component in exactly the same way!

I have tried writing a runonce component (as I only want to run this once)
and no good. No matter what I do, it seems to just ignore all my
dependencies

This is really irritating so anything you can suggest would be great

Cheers

Scott

You want to use the FBA Generic Command and have the installer run at a
later FBA PHASE than everything else. Run One runs at FBA phase 6000 or so.
..NET installer runs at around 11,000. There are 65000 phases in FBA.
