VS.NET - Deployment Project

I've created a standalone application in C#.
I've created a deployment project to create a setup for the application.

The standalone application relies on 3rd party software installed on the machine.
I want to have a condition in the deployment project to see if the 3rd party exists on the machine,
and if not, install the 3rd party software from a disclosed location.

Is this possible? or is this beyond the scope of the deployment project.

Thanks.

You can add conditions to windows installer to check for the necessary. It goes ahead & installs the application, only if it founds them on the machine. If not found, then does not proceed further to install the application.

Try this one....
