How Do I Include A Third Party Software In My Software?
« on: March 23, 2008, 08:12 PM »


Hello all, Please I am writing a python program and want it to run only after a particular third party software has been installed
This 3rd party software is 1 large .exe file that the user must install prior to my own software.

I am planning to use inno setup to create my executable because i am comfortable with it

My question is, Is it possible to include this 3rd party software in my executable so that the user will be prompted to install it then my installation will continue.

I have looked through inno setup and can't find this feature, please let me know if inno has this feature or if there is a way around this

Please i need help

"i didn't do it", i got a way around it

I will be including the 3rd party as part of my software, so will get inno to check for the directory. if it exists, then continue with my instalation else install the 3rd party then install mine

I plan to add that to the beginning of the info before installation. so user remembers to run setup after installing the 3rd party
