Hi Casey, Yes, that is possible to do, but not exactly cheap. It is up to the setup application to check for installed components and install them. I haven't had any luck with Inno Setup in testing for these components, but I do know Advanced Setup Installer will test for various requirements such as DirectX, .NET Framework, and lots of stuff. Problem is that Advanced Setup Installer is extremely, extremely, extremely expensive. So while it is possible in order to pay for the right tools for the job you can expect the game developers to pay an extra $300 to $400 to get the right setup tools. Either that or they have to learn Microsofts MSI language and write custom MSI scripts. Not the easiest job for a newby.
Cheers!
