Package and Deployment Wizard
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"?

Re: Package and Deployment Wizard
Since you have the source code for P&D, it's possible to do just about anything.
The most difficult part of developing a program is understanding the problem.
The second most difficult part is deciding how you're going to solve the problem.
Actually writing the program (translating your solution into some computer language) is the easiest part.
Please indent your code and use [HIGHLIGHT="VB"] [/HIGHLIGHT] tags around it to make it easier to read.

Re: Package and Deployment Wizard
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.

Re: Package and Deployment Wizard
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.
