Hi All,

 

I am quite new to PDQ, so If this question is already answered somewhere, please tell me.

I have a custom built application which needs windowsdesktop-runtime-5.0.4-win-x64 to be installed.

I have created a seperate package in PDQDeploy to install this package. 

How can I configure the custom built package to install windowsdesktop-runtime-5.0.4-win-x64 on the client system if it is not installed? I can create a seperate installation step, but how can i configure a step to check whether the windowsdesktop-runtime-5.0.4-win-x64 application is already installed?

Kind Regards!

Tom

  One way you could do is to create a package that points to each of those packages as Nested Package steps. Set the Collection Condition on the .NET step to "Is a member" of a "not installed" collection. You may have to build this collection yourself, I don't remember if the Collection Library has a .NET Core collection. Make sure to set the Error Mode to "Continue".
