2010

Dear community.

has anyone experienced any problems with InstallShield on Windows 7.

I have a small application which needs Crystal Reports in order to work. So I have included them in the Setup Wizard, which I have made with InstallShield 2010.

It works like a charm, except on windows 7. here it jumps right over the prerequisite installer, and jumps right to the installation of the application.

I have searched the web, but it does not seem that anyone has experienced anything like it.

Any help is appreciated. I am using installScript, but I can convert the project to MSI if it will help.
