How to verify MDAC is installed

[jfuhr]

I need to add a prerequisite to check that MDAC 2.7 or higher is installed.

I found an article in here from 2004 that mentions that this would be added in a later release, but it doesn't look like that ever happened. The article also says that you can create a custom prereq by searching the registry for a min value.

I'm using version 8.8.1 and I don't see the option in prerequisites to search the registry.

Can somebody point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
Jaime

I figured this out.

You have to create a new prerequisite and click cancel. It creates the prereq anyway. Then edit, go to Install Conditions and create a new Registry Search. Then delete the file based criteria.
