Installing Chart control during web setup

Question

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to create a setup project for my website using the VS web deployment.
My website uses the .NET chart control and I want to include it in the install package incase it isn't already installed on the target system,
I tried to do this using the customActions.
But it is apparently impossible to have 2 msi setups running at the same time (It crashes and tells you that you need to finish the first installation first.)

Any workarounds for this problem?

I don't want to make the client run 2 different setup files.

Thanks in advanced!

I had the same issue some time ago. I used a MSI to Exe converter and then did the Exe as Custom Action.

The tool I used (MsiSelfExtract) seems to have dissapeared (I can't find it anywhere anymore). But I found this which might do the trick aswell MSI to EXE Compiler 1.1.6

Good luck..
