Hi all!

I am preparing MSI installation package for my SNMP Extension Agent
(DLL). SNMP Service is a Windows System Component and is not installed on
Win2K/XP by default. I could not find redistributable (msi or any other)
package for SNMP Service. One can install it via
Start -> Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs -> Add/Remove Windows
Components

How can I do the same during my agent's installation. In case if SNMP
Service is not installed, there is not much sence in proceeding with
installation. In this case I would like to start SNMP Component installation
on a target PC.

Thank you.
 
Hi,

try a systemsnapshot befor and after the installation from SNMP an give the
difference in a MSI.

You can't do that. Those files are not redistributables so you have to get
the user to install SNMP.
