adding nuget package as prerequisite

[bielen]

Our custom action are developed in .net. I install the .net framework as prerequisite. A custom action checks if the connection to the database works. In our case Postgres. For this we use the nuget package Npgsql. How can I specify that the nuget package is also installed as prerequisite. The package will also be used later by the application.

Thanks for the support.

Hi,

I'm afraid that installing Nuget packages is not possible through the prerequisites support. However, you may be able to create a PowerShell script for this, as discussed in the "install NuGet via PowerShell script" thread, then add it as a custom action in your project.
