Install Acrobat Reader using Setup Project (MSI)

Hi misters,

I continue installing; my production PC is Windows 2003; development
environment: using VS 2005 in Windows XP for create Setup Project

Now, I need install Acrobat Reader 7.0 in Windows 2003 using my Setup
Project. I have only the redistributable AcrobatReader70 setup.exe for
Acrobat Reader 7.0.

I need create my Setup Project for install AcrobatReader70 setup.exe.

How can I add the AcrobatReader70 setup.exe to my Setup project and launch
installation for Acrobat Reader ??

Another option, perhaps, how can I create a prerequisite for Acrobat Reader
7.0 ??

Anyway, if not solution for my issue, I would create a WindowsForms app for
do Process.Start(" AcrobatReader70 setup.exe"), but I prefer first MSI and
second Prerequisite.

Thanks in advance and greetings. Your help is very grateful.

If you need to launch another installer before your own, you should
probably use the bootstrapper (i.e., setup.exe) to do so - similar to
how it already does it for the .NET framework (dotnetfx.exe) already.
Microsoft's bootstrapper generator is extensible, though, so it's just
a matter of you writing a couple of XML files. Read more on this here
(and be sure to follow the links given at the end of that article as
well):
