MSI Insaller

[Ron Vecchi]

I am going to create an installer for my app.
I would like to include the .net frameowork in the installer and macromedia
flash plugin in the installer.
The installer should check for users machine and install them if their not
already installed.

Can someone point me to some resources on doing this.

Hi Ron,

Here's a link to the VS.NET 2003 Bootstrapper Plug-In. It's pretty new and
I haven't tried it yet, but I did use it's predecessor, The Bootstrapper
Sample, which worked pretty good.

Hi Ron,

In addition to Joe's link, you may also find some useful information at the
following site:

Using Visual Studio .NET to Redistribute the .NET Framework
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...us/dnnetdep/ht
ml/vsredistdeploy.asp

You may download the bootstrap application and the source code at the
following site:

For .Net Framework 1.0:

For .Net Framework 1.1:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...891-d15b-446b-
bd69-f7f849224a00&DisplayLang=en

I hope the information is useful to you. As far as the "Macromedia Flash
Plugin" is concerned, it is from a third party and I am not very clear
about how it gets installed.
