Custom Installation Project? Ask For Sql settings and execute script. and change web.config?


I have a big project I did on the developing company I am working, it has
the connection string on the web.config. and It works perfectly in our
testing environment.
I want to make a setup project with this features.
- It must ask the sql server name sa password.
- it must execute a .SQL server I generated to create the database and
objects.
- It must then change in the web.config the sql server connection string.

Any hints about it.
What I dont want to do is to bring my project in a Cd to the other company
and make things manually(execut e script,s change connection strings, copy
files, create virtual directorys). It all must be done in a simple step if
factible

Thanks

I have a deployment project that I'm setting up. I need to perform a different custom action based on whether this is a first time install or an update. Does anyone have any idea if it's possible to set the Condition property of a custom action to determine if the currently running install is upgrading a previous installation and if so how? I'm also open to other methods of acheiving this functionality.

I cannot get this to work. I added an app.config to a project i reference from my web application project (vs 05) but can see no way to access the settings within it. the other thing is that I expected this config file (.dll.config) to get put in my web app's bin folder along with it's .dll file when i did a build, and that didnt' happen either. do I have access to the app.config in my project or is it worthless? If so why can i add...
