Moved to Application Deployment.
Kamran,
Noob? Why are you attempting to create an installer when there are so many out there that have all these problems solved already?
hmm well can you plz give me an example...this thing is turning out to be nightmare for me...thx
Inno Script, and Inno Setup, in Randem's signature.
There is also the Package and Deployment Wizard in VB6.
i have some success now using visual studio installer...i did make a package and works well..but i just have few lil problems to deal with...i m using crystal reports and i since the application would run on client machine.. i need to include some files..that would allow it to run on client machine..i have tried it..with PWD..and it automatically picks it up..but it has its own problems..so i have decided to use visual studio installer as i m getting around it and it seems to be easy..
also i m using mdac 2.7...but what if the system had mdac 2.0..then in this case what should i do in the installer..some people has suggesed me to use AutoOsUpdate of innoscirpt..but what about in visual studio installer.
kamran,
You can include the Automatic OS Updater in VSI also. It operates independently.
