    Indeed that was the problem, I missunderstood the
    url attribute...

    setup.exe /url=http://myserver/myapplication

    does the trick, and now it works.


    Thanks again for your help!

    Yes... just don't specify a HOMESITE= attribute tag in the manifest fo ryour custom prereq. Then set the bootstrapper to build to Component Vendor's Website.

    On build, the builder will fall back to Same Site for packages that don't have a HOMESITE attribute.

    I have tried what you said but what happened was the following..

    My application is installed here..
    http://myserver/myapp/sqlnativeclient/sqlncli.msi

    However the prereq is looking for the .msi here..
    http://myserver/sqlnativeclient/sqlncli.msi


    Is this the normal behaviour or am I doing something wrong

    I am changing the url for the setup.exe file (setup.exe /url=http://myserver/)
    Could it be this that is causing the problem


    Thanks,
    Robert
