    run a vb exe during setup

    Is it possible to run a exe created with vb during the install? If so what do I do about the vb runtime?

    You might check into VB-PowerWrap.

    It's relatively inexpensive, and I've used it with very good results. Granted, though, nothing with VB is going to be 100% when it comes to the runtime.

    primer file

    Can I put a vb exe as a primer file and use the vb dependency to run the exe during the install?

    Without all of the corresponding VB runtimes on the system, your VB executables won't work. VB is great for a lot of things, but not for "standalone" applications. If you have to use a VB .exe, you might want to check out the previous suggestion.
