问题描述
我在 Visual Studio 中创建了一个安装项目.安装程序在客户端机器上运行良好，安装完成后应用程序运行良好.

推荐答案
通过 windows installer 安装第三方必备 MSI
Installing thrid party prerequisite MSI through windows installer
处理此要求的最佳方法是创建一个 Bootstrapper 包 并添加第三方包作为主应用程序安装程序的先决条件.首先，您必须从我在下面提供的链接中安装引导程序清单生成器工具.工具将自动生成必要的清单文件.您必须将这些文件复制到以下文件夹(Visual Studio2010)C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages.
Best approach to handle this requirement is to create a Bootstrapper package and add thrid party package as a prerequisite for the main application installer. First you have to install the bootstrapper manifest generater tool from the link i have provided below. Tool will autogenerate necessary manifest files. You have to copy these files to the following folder(Visual Studio2010) C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages.
完成后转到您 应用程序部署项目 > Properties > Prerequisite在那里你会看到你的第三方包作为先决选项之一.只需选择并创建 MSI.现在，当您运行应用程序的 Setup.exe 时，它将首先检查目标计算机中是否安装了第三方软件包，如果是，它将直接安装您的应用程序，否则它将首先安装必备组件，然后然后安装您的应用程序.
Once thats done go to You Application deployment project > Properties > Prerequisite
There you will see your thrid party package as one of the prerequisite option. Just select that and create the MSI. Now when you run the Setup.exe of your application it will first check if the third party package is installed in the target machine if so it will directly install your application otherwise it will first install the prerequisite component and then install your application.
MSDN:引导程序首先检测是否有任何先决条件已安装.如果未安装先决条件，则安装开始满足先决条件.否则，如果所有检测到先决条件，引导程序只是启动应用安装程序.
MSDN: The bootstrapper first detects whether any of the prerequisites are already installed. If prerequisites are not installed, the installation begins for the prerequisites. Otherwise, if all the prerequisites are detected, the bootstrapper just starts the application installer.
