Visual Studio Installer: Automatically install MDAC
Dear Friends.
I am very much upset by the package & deployment capacity of the Visual basic programs.
recently i have heard of the visual studio installer, that has solved one of the problem of adding folders to the setup.
Now i am facing another problem. My application needs to have MDAC_typ installed before running the application. but i am not able to do so using visual studio installer. i want this mdac to run automatically along with the setup.
Otherwise also if i want to run another exe alongwith or before the setup starts, how i can do that
Can any body help
Thanks in advance
Re: Visual Studio Installer: Automatically install MDAC
Its an entire seperate installer. Have you looked into using InnoSetup, or InstallShield?

Have you resolved this? I'm looking at the same problem. I like the included installer for VB.Net (mostly for the same folder issue), but I too am needing to install the MDAC 2.8 stuff.
I have thought about basically doing the work that the MDAC installer does within my program's setup. I don't see how that would be a problem, but of course you would need something to check and see if it has alread been installed ( a condition of some sort)
