How to create Installer which combine both Webapp & Windows Service

[thatzlim]

Hi, I have developed 2 projects: a Web application using ASP.NET, and a Windows Service using VB.NET. I'm running on Visual Studio 2005.

Now that I am creating the deployment for the above projects. Currently these 2 projects are having individual Setup file for installation. User will have to install one after another.

I would like to make User's life easier. My question is, how can I combine both the Setup files become 1 Setup file, so that when User run this Setup.exe file, it will install both the Web application as well as the Windows Service on their machine.

Please advice, thanks!!!

I hear that VB 2005 deployment package has the ability to run other packages (installations). If not you can use Inno Setup which definitely has that ability.

thx for the reply but i dont think Inno Setup is what I'm looking for. It is just a normal Packaging Tools. Do you understand what i'm trying to achieve?
