    <p>Basically what you want, in MSI terms, is a Custom Bootstraper. Setup and Deployment projects have limited support for this. <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160626050636/http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/ms165429(v=VS.80).aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Adding Custom Prerequisites</a> (<a href="https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms165429%28v=vs.140%29.aspx?f=255&amp;MSPPError=-2147217396" rel="nofollow noreferrer">latest version</a>) details how to add pre-requisites to the built-in bootstrapper.</p> <p>Unfortunately Setup and Deployment projects are not supported in Visual Studio 2012; so, spending much time on something like this may not add much long term value.</p> <p>WiX is another MSI installer framework that is recommended by folks at Microsoft (the authors work at Microsoft). It has a feature that it calls <a href="http://wix.sourceforge.net/manual-wix3/authoring_bundle_intro.htm" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Bundling</a> that allows chaining of MSIs (via its bootstrapper). It's really easy to create a WiX project from and existing MSI using a utility called Dark (<a href="http://weblogs.asp.net/lorenh/archive/2004/05/09/128899.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://weblogs.asp.net/lorenh/archive/2004/05/09/128899.aspx</a> is a good intro to using Dark). Once you get that can edit the wxs file to add a bundle.</p> <p>Other Wix resources: <a href="http://wix.tramontana.co.hu/tutorial" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://wix.tramontana.co.hu/tutorial</a></p>

    1. COWiX is definitely the way to go. Custom Actions are tricky though (in my opinion) which means (as with any other coding activity) lots of reading is required. Good luck!

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
