I am not sure what newsgroup I should post this question at, because I did
not see a newsgroup for Visual Studio Setup Wizard.
In the Setup and Deployment Projects (Setup Project), how can I include
installation for MDAC (Microsoft Data Access Component) ?
Thank you.
 
Prerequisites will do this - the Prerequisites button in VS 2005 project
properties has an MDAC choice. You'll get a setup.exe that will install
MDAC, the framework etc.
 
Not sure if this is relavent but if you are installing a newer version of
the MDAC while installing your application; caution the user ... you may
break existing software that does not work with your version of the MDAC.
(if you are replacing the existing version).
 
Thank you for your reply.
How about in VS2003 ? I am currently using VS2003.
In the solution property, there is "Project Dependencies", but I can not add
anything to it.
