[RESOLVED] how to deploy Self registering dll setup

[thiru_rajamani]

Hi all,
I have a program, which has a dll (self registering) and some forms which are interlinked. This works good from vs2005 .
Now I need to create a setup file and make it as an application.

I added a setpwizard project then selected all primary output (here I am not sure what to do). But I failed to succeed.

How to do this?

Thanks

Check our Deployment FAq at the top of this forum as it has two articles on deploying a .NET app.

Thanks for the link. It is very much useful.

Now I am able to create setup files from VS.Net by adding a project called setup.

I have a dll file (Actually it is a self register AddIn) which has to work on another software.

When I do rebuild from VS the AddIn registers and appears in my CAD software. But after creating setup file, if I run it, it not registers the dll files.

Any suggestion?

I solved it.

I thought that it is going to be a critical task. But it is so easy.

I selected the dll files under setup project in solution explorer. Then in properties window I changed the register property to "vsdrpCOMSelfReg".

Now the dll is getting registered.

Thanks for your help.
