I need to install the Microsoft Visual C++ Prerequisite. However, it runs as soon as the setup program starts. The Setup program should collect the user information before starting the installation process since it impacts whether the prerequisite even needs to be installe. Is there a way to delay this until the user's input is completed and the actual file installation process begins? When I add Merge Modules I don't have this problem.
I'm using a script for my installation program. The prerequisite files aren't included in the setup.exe which complicates distribution, and of course it starts right away. Independent of the prerequisites, I can add those other program's setup files to my setup and run them from the script as the other files are being installed. However, this prevents those files from being uninstalled when someone chooses to uninstall my program.
I don't understand why I can't include the prerequisites like the merged modules.
