You can detect if the .NET framework is installed, but how do you detect Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86) is installed? Should I just look for the files in the windows directory? Is there any easier way?

Thanks in advance (again).

I'm not sure where you're going with this, but why don't you just include the merge modules in your setup, or use the setup.exe to have them installed as prerequisites before your MSI installs? Or both - it will all still work.

Thanks, I totally forgot that I did do that.
