Hi All,

I have built an application which wants to access Excel page, it works fine only if Access Database Engine is installed in machine, Now the question is How can I make the application work properly without installing Access Database Engine in other machine or how to make it to install as dependency without installing seperatly but gets installed automatically. I am using 1 click setup to develop the Setup.

I tried with installer but the event is not raised after installation, can some one please help me with this.

Regards,
Sagar
