VS 2005 Setup - How to add dependencies for SQL Server CE?

[Neil.Young]

Hi,

I have created a small WinForm app, using SQL Server CE 3.1. The application
uses an installer, created using the means of VS 2005. I see a dependency
for .net 3.5 in the installer, so my setup asks the user for his agreement
on installing .net 3.5 runtime on his machine. But I also need to install
SQL Server CE 3.1 binaries (SQLServerCE31-EN.msi). Could anybody give me a
pointer on how to achieve this?

Regards

You could use CustomAction for the installer. Check MSDN for more details.
