I am not sure what newsgroup I should post this question at, because I did
not see a newsgroup for Visual Studio Setup Wizard.
In the Setup and Deployment Projects (Setup Project), how can I include
installation for MDAC (Microsoft Data Access Component) ?
Thank you.

Prerequisites will do this - the Prerequisites button in VS 2005 project
properties has an MDAC choice. You'll get a setup.exe that will install
MDAC, the framework etc.

Thank you for your reply.
How about in VS2003 ? I am currently using VS2003.
In the solution property, there is "Project Dependencies", but I can not add
anything to it.

There's a bootstrapper plug-in:

Not sure if this is relavent but if you are installing a newer version of
the MDAC while installing your application; caution the user ... you may
break existing software that does not work with your version of the MDAC.
(if you are replacing the existing version).
