Hi, I have created an application for which I want to create an installer using .NET's Setup and Deployment project. The problem is that my application requires certain setups (Drivers, SDKs etc.) to be installed before it. I want these to be installed first and then the main application. How do I do it?

Q:
How to install other setups before installing the main application using .NET's Setup Project?
A:
In a setup project you can configure this kind of things by setting prerequests see: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/dotnet/Add_framework_in_setup.aspx

Prerequisites let you select from a fixed list of things to include (e.g. .NET Framework), but does it let you include custom items as the original poster will require?

Yes it does allow you to add custom prerequisites - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms165429(VS.80).aspx I tries creating a custom prerequisite using the procedure mentioned, but it does not appear in the Prerequisites. Is there something else that I need to do besides what is written at this msdn link
