I have a windows form project that I am ready to deploy.

The project depends on SQL Server (or MSDE) being installed on the client machine; it also depends on the appropriate version of MDAC being installed.

I am looking for some guidance on how to build a setup wizard that will setup my application and install (or confirm that they are installed) these dependancies.

Can anyone offer any help?

I am new to VB and am using VB.NET.

THANKS!
 
That will help me determine if it is installed (and what version if it is), but what can I do about automatically performing the install for them?
 
I would love to do that...but

My current setup program is a .NET Startup Wizard Project. I don't know how to modify it for such a change.

Can you tell me how to modify the setup wizard project or tell me how to build a different setup project that would work?
 
InnoSetup is helping.

I have used InnoSetup as a wrapper for the other installations that my application depends on.

Too bad this type of thing is not supported in the VS.NET Setup/Deployment Wizard.
