Hi!

I have developed my first application in VS.Net and now i want to deploy it.
For this i have added a setup project and it seems to work OK.
I even got .NET to be installed on the target computer.

Now to the question.
My application requires a driver for a virtual COM port to be installed.
I have got the driver in .exe format.
How do i make my setup project to install the driver automatically?

(I have tried to add .exe file to the setup project and then to have the .exe to be executed in "Custom actions" but then the installation
fails with a dialog saying "there is a problem with this Installer package. A program run as a part of the setup did not finish as expected"
Was this a incorrect way of adding the .exe driver?)
