Installer class

VS 2003 had a predefined template for an Installer class. That seems to have
disappeared from VS2005. Am I right? Or has it just been moved? Or is it
superceded by a new way of doing the same thing.

Thanks!

Hello Andrew,

System.Configur ation.Install.I nstaller class?
It's supported in .NET 3/2/1.1

Have u added the reference to the configuration lib?

Look for the "Web Setup Project" template.

On the VS 2005 menu: "File", "New Project", "Other Project Types", "Setup and Deployment".
All this, *after* having opened your project.

Select the "Web Setup Project" to create an ASP.NET installer.

I understand the class is still there. The template is what I can't find in
VS2005. Under VS2003 it was under Add Component.

All, There is a KB article pertaining to windows installer running every time an application starts - so I know it's an issue - but the KB article pertains to MS Office only. I am seeing the same behavior as the MS Office installer issue in my installer package. The behavior started happening after I added a custom installer step (implemented in C#) and the behavior stops if I remove my custom installer step.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
