Question How to create a Setup file in VS 2005 to start a installer from a installer file?

I have created a setup project for my project. But my project needs DirectX to be installed in the system. I can able to check whether DirectX is already installed in the system during my project installation. Suppose, if DirectX is not installed, i have to pause my project installation and start the DirectX installation(The installer file is added in my project setup).

Is it possible? If so, can anyone help me...

yes you can do it by adding custom actions to the setup project...


Follow the steps:

1.Rightclick the setup project-->view-->custom action
2.In custom action editor, right click install-->Add custom action and select an exe to be executed.

This file will execute at the middle of the installation...

Cool Re: How to create a Setup file in VS 2005 to start a installer from a installer file?

the exe file which i have added is started in the middle of the installation process.. Is it possible to check some condition and start the installation if the condition is true?
