Setup Package

[weisi]

Hi, im using Package and Deployment Wizard in MS Studio, how do I package my project and what if my project I have a database, how do I include it inside the setup file? After I package, does it only show just 1 setup.exe file? Can anyone guide me along?

if you want to create only 1 setup file that installs all your components including your database, i suggest you use inno setup. it creates a single setup file and installs everything. but of course you need to manually include those dependencies that your program have.

weisi,

If you decide to use Inno Setup, check out the Inno Setup Third Party Tools. They will help you a lot (then you won't have to add the dependencies manually).

Thanks for the replies! I have seen the 3rd party tools you had mention, actually, there are quite a number of them and Im quite confuse that which one is suitable for me. For my project, I have an .exe, .dll and 1 database folder with 2 database. So do I still need any of the tools?
