Hi all,

Hi, i want to make my application installation easy and intutive.
so i am trying to add "VC ++2008 runtime" to my application installation required components, but i can't find a way to add it.

someone knows how to achive this?
if not, maybe another installation system other then default MSI may help me solve this issue?

Thank you.

More in depth : the application needs VC ++ 2008 because i am using sql compact 4.0.

Solution : instead of trying to add VC++2008, we can use the sql compact 4.0 component in the required component list.

Hope it helps.

Have you taken a look at NSIS as an installation system?
Does it need to be Visual C++2008? can your application run with newer versions?
