As I known, there is a setup project in the folder C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VB98\Wizards\PDWizard\Setup1 for example. You
can modify it. For example, you can add a new form, on which you have
buttons to install other applications. PDW will use the setup.exe file when
you create your package. Try it. I think you can finish it in minutes.

thanks Gavin for yr reply.. but wats WISE i am not aware of it.. can u 
please give me some help for that...
bye and thanks in advance


> I remember that when you have data controls in your project and you 
create
package by PDW, it will add the mdac_typ.exe file into the package. Or you
can manually add it to the package. I think the file is simply copied(??) 
So you may need to modify the default setup project and install it 
yourself.


I use Wise so I can add the merge module to my build and Wise will run it
before my application being installed.
