setup project in VS 2003

I created a setup project in VS 2003 to deploy a windows application.
I'm able to run that installer in any windows xp m/c, when I try to install
the setip in a vista m/c, it goes all the way and hangs at the end.

I tried to create a small setup project in vs 2005 and I was able to run the
setup in vista machine.
So I'm wondering if there are any patch / fix for VS 2003 to run in vista?

Thanks for your help.

Do you have any custom actions in your VS 2003 setup?

That will break it. Custom actions on Vista run with standard user token and
consequently break. The recommended solution is to set the
msidbCustomActi onTypeNoImperso nate bit in the custom action type, but Visual
Studio has no IDE support for that.

When I build a setup project, the dependency in the setup project is tied to the version in which it was built. Is there a way to build a setup project that can be used in both versions of the Framework? There is provision to build the app's .exe so that the .exe can be used in either version of the framework, is there not a way to do this for the setup project? I looked at the options, did not find any. Did I miss something? --

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,...
