Hi All,
I am learning .NET. I am a little confusing about when do I need a
customer installer.
I can add the Installer class in my WinForm project. But I don't know
what the purpose of that. Under what circumtance do I need a customer
installer?
Thanks,
Davey

Under what circumtance do I need a customer installer?
When you have written an application for somebody else to use, the app
might need to be "installed" on their computer... The installer creates an
executable (usually "setup.exe" ) which the user clicks, and this installs
the app i.e. copies the assemblies and executables etc into a folder of
their choosing, makes any necessary Registry entries, places an icon on the
user's desktop / start menu / quick launch menu etc...
what the purpose of that. Under what circumtance do I need a customer
installer?
In most cases, you don't need custom installer class. The VS setup
project can handle many operations needed during application setup. But
its capabilities are limited. If you need to perform something special
during your install or uninstall, you need to write this code yourself.
The custom installer class is the place for this code. Then you call it
as a Custom action form your setup project. See http://tinyurl.com/y5lk8t for more details.

Thank you Peter. Now I understand. When I using VS to create a Setup
project, during the installation, my customer installer will be called
to performce my special tasks.
Thanks again.
Davey.

Hi,
I wish to create a installer for my app.
The installer must prompt the user to input a Path to a file.
Non of the dialog templates gives me the option to prompt for a file name
and path, with a browse button.
I have added a custom action program, can I make advantage of this? or can I
create a new template?

time the application is started.
While this would appropriate if the file in question were an executable, the
files are actually report files. Clients want to...

I have a solution that contains a C# application that is installed and runs

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
