How to install Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0
I have a VB.NET 2013 project that uses an Access database through the OLEDB 12.0 driver. I can install the driver ahead of my project install through "AccessDatabaseEngine.exe" that I downloaded from Microsoft website. However, I can't find a way to incorporate the drivers into my install package, either as a merge module, or to find a way to run the above executable within a Custom Action or otherwise. Is there a way to get this driver installed without making my clients have to install in two steps?

You might want to create your own InstallShield prerequisite in order to accomplish your requirement. Please refer to the Designing InstallShield Prerequisites and Other Redistributables help topic for details.
