Is it possible to install a visual basic program and start up another install program all from a setup program generated with the "Package and Deployment Wizard"?
Since you have the source code for P&D, it's possible to do just about anything.
This doesn't really tell me anything. Is it possible to do this from the wizard itself. Whether it is or isn't is there a better way or software package?
Thanks
No, You can not do that in PDW from the wizard. I would suggest you use Inno Setup (free) and ********** (free for three days) to accomplish this task. Both can be found in my signature.
********** will generate a complete Inno Setup Script that you can modify to add in the Run Section a line that will run another program during the installation process.
Yes, you can do it from the P&D Wizard. You have the source code so you can use VB to modify it and recompile (make a backup of the source code first).
You can do anything with the P&D since you have the code and hopefully know VB. :)

I have the source code for what?: PDW or setup1?
The P&D Wiz.
