Setup Project Questions

6/30/2007 5:58:51 AM

0/0

I have created a setup project for an application I am writing and have a few questions.

1) I need to create an event log for my application and want to do this as part of the installation. How to I get the installer to run C# code I have written to do this? I do not see anywhere that code can be entered for any of the forms (default forms or custom forms). I thought this was done through custom actions, but was incorrect n that assumption.

2) I want to add a Launch condition that check to see if the Reportviewer components are installed. AT first the intalle wanted to just copy the ReportViewer dll's to the bin directory, but I removed that dependency and then checked ReportViewer as a pre-requisite. I'd like it be to a Launch condition, the same as .Net is but cannot see how to do this.

3) Is the VS.Net 2005 installer a good program to use or is there a better installation creator that is better, while still being free. I am already familiar with InstallShield and Wise Installer. Is there is a better alternative, please post here with why you think it is a better option for creating installation for applications.

Any help will be appreciated.

Hi smehaffie,

I try to reply these questions. Though I am not sure they are the good solutions, I think they will be the directions to your requirement and I hope they are helpful to you.

1) If you need create event log during the installation, I recommend you to create a separate executable file to do this, and exec this file during the installation. For more information, please refer to the following link:

HOW TO: Run an Executable File During a Windows Installer Installation by Using Visual Studio .NET
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/827018

2) If you want to check whether the ReportViewer component has been installed. You can check the registry. For more information, please refer to the following link:

How to determine if ReportViewer is installed

3) I?m sorry that I cannot answer this question. I don?t compare software products and say which is better. I will say: Use the one you are most familiar with or the one most convenient for you.

Sincerely,
Benson Yu
