I need at least MDAC 2.7. I'd love to make MDAC 2.8 a Prerequisite, but I
can't because MDAC 2.8 doesn't install on Windows XP SP1. You're required to
load SP2, an onerous requirement we do not want to impose on our users. I'd
like to add MDAC 2.7 as a Prerequisite, but I don't see a place to do so.

Is there a way to add MDAC 2.7 as a Prerequisite in VS 2005?

Hi,

Thank you posting!

I am afraid we don't provide an MDAC 2.7 prerequisite component with
VS2005.

But there is a third party utility Bootstrapper Manifest Generator which is
used to generate a custom bootstrapper manifest for VS2005. I suggest you
can try it to make MDAC 2.7's bootstrapper manifest:
