Hi,
I need a installer for c#.net application
I'm using visual studio 2005,.net2.0 and sql server 2000
My application is windows application.
I have two installers in mind
1.Wise installer
2.Install shield installer
I don't know which one will be best.
Most probably both have same facility.
Could anybody suggest me which one will be best, as i'm planning to
purchase anyone

I'd use InstallAware over either of those. http://www.installaware.com/
You might be able to use the Visual Studio Deployment projects that are
included with VS2005 (and 2003 and 2002). They're not as full featured as
any of the commercial install builders, but they're sure easy to create and
use.

My recommendation would be to use WiX ( http://wix.sourceforge.net/)
It provides a much fuller control of the MSI that you create. Plus
all files are XML, not some custom binary format. This helps big time
when the installer scripts are in a code repository. Being able to
see what changes have been made can be very helpful.
Having spent a week trying to work out which of the changes someone
made to an Installshield file, stopped the install working correctly,
I really appreciate the benefit of being able to use a 'diff' to see
all the changes quickly and easily.
WiX also requires you to understand more of the windows installation
process. While this can mean more work and more effort in the short
term, it really affords a better ability to support problem installs
and debug other issue in the long run.

Over the last few days, I reinstalled Win2kSP2 to a spare harddrive I
had just swapped into my Fujitsu LifeBook P1120 (long story <wink>).
Subsequently, I DL'ed the newest Python alpha (2.4a2), and when trying
to install it, I immediately got this error:
This installation package cannot be installed by the
Windows Installer service. You must install a
Windows service pack that contains a newer version

this idea!)

I am trying to create an installer for my web application. So I added a

the installer installs the files to. I want to be able to put my files

I am not really sure what news group this should be posted to. It has to do
with a visual studio install project for a c# application.

While this would appropriate if the file in question were an executable, the

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.

I saw an article, once, on how to package image file in the installer so
they are not accessible to the end user. I want to say hidden, but I don't
just mean the file attribute of the image file. Does anyone know of the
article I'm speaking of or a link on how to embed (another poor choice of
words) the image files in the executable?
Thanks,

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
