I am getting ready to start on a new IS 7.01 project (previous experience with ISWE 2.03 only). I created the project as a "standard" type.

I have the same question regarding to two aspects of the product: Merge Modules and Setup Files.

As part of my dialog sequence, the user will need to specify where a database gets created on a remote SQL-Server. I want to be able to provide to them a list of drives on the server with available space on each, and then the "default" path (with option to change) for the DB on that drive.

To do this, I'll need to make sure MDAC 2.6 is installed (via Merge Module) and a custom DLL (via Setup Files).

The big question(s) then: Do these types of files get installed prior to the "OnFirstUIBefore()" event? If not, is there any way to force them to be installed early?

Thanks,

Not an answer, but a bit of advice... ;-)

If your experience is with ISWi 2.03, create a Basic MSI Project instead of a standard one.  You'll find yourself in much more familiar territory, trust me.

Thanks for the suggestion, but the main reason I went with a standard project was because the ISWI structure was too confining for what I wanted to do. I'm not worried about heading into unfamiliar territory...
