Are Prerequisities Required?
Prerequisities or equivalent knowledge are required. However, when you
have the option to assess whether you feel you have sufficient prior knowledge
to meet the prerequisities. If you feel you do, then you can take higher
level courses without taking the lower level ones.
Here are a couple things to keep in mind when doing your self-assessment:
- Although you may be experienced in the field, lower level courses may bring
out important aspects of Windows Installer that are unknown to you because they
are not currently utilized in your organization.
- The content coverage in higher level classes assumes familiarity with the
stated prerequisities - you may be unable to keep up with the content without
this background. The course cannot be slowed down to accomodate lack of
prerequisite knowledge.
- For those who will be doing packaging or building infrastructre for Windows
Installer, it is very difficult to do these tasks correctly if you do not have a
good foundation in how Windows Installer operates.
