    Is it just me or is the Package and deployment wizard a pile of shite?

    I've always used InstallShield Express in the past but thought I'd try the PDW.

    How the hell do you create registry entries? This is a doddle with InstallShield but does not appear to be possible using PDW!

    Post Setup Toolkit

    No it is not just you. The PDW is ****.

    Apparently there is something called The Setup Toolkit that co-exists with the PDW. You are supposed to be able to edit the setup project "Setup1.vbp". Apparently you can add new screens and code to do what ever you wish, though how easy this is i have no idea.

    Once you have added or modified the project you have to make the Setup1.exe. Any way there is some info on doing this in MSDN.

    Hope this is relevant.

    What you need is a VISE Installer...

    Visual Studio Installer

    If you have a registered version of Visual Basic you can download the Visual Studio Installer for free. You can make your registry entries with it and it's pretty easy to use.
