    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

    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)
