I am developing a desktop application using VB.NET and MySQL. When I send support people to the client site to run the setup, I want that setup to install MySQL automatically.

How can I add MySQL and MySQL Connector/Net as prerequisites so that the program automatically install them on client's site?

Hi I am Finding package in Prerequisites but its neither installing the MySQL nor giving any error or message...

If Any One have Any Idea....Reply....
Unless you buy an installer program that allows this, I don't think you can. I handle it by writing a Win32 program that checks for dependancies and runs installers as needed.
