Simple Installer question. How to add custom code in installer project??

Hey guys,

How can I see the code of the installer class? I know that I have to
right click on my object class, -> Add Item -> Code -> installer
class...

The actual question is, I cannot see "Code" in my "Add Item" Menu. In
order to see this 'Add Installer code'... Do I need to install any
plugin?

I'm using VS.NET 2003, Win 2000, .NET v1.1.

I'm working on this problem for the past 8 hours. Please bear with
me. Any help is very much appreciated.

I hope you are not still stuck on this...

I snipped the following instructions out of an article:
3. Select File / Add Project / New Project.

4. In the Project Types pane select Setup and Deployment Projects

5. In the Templates pane select Web Setup Project

6. In the Name textbox enter the name for your setup project

The article is here

Hope this helps,

--- Nick

I am busy packaging our product as a standard Setup project in VS.NET that uses a bunch of merge modules (basically, a merge module for every key infrastructure component in our system). Part of the installation needs to "dump" a bunch of files (third party product's project files) to the user's system. These files are transient in nature in that the user may choose

Hi, I am trying to create an installer for my web application. So I added a web setup project to my solution (I am using VS.NET 2003). Been playing around with it since then and it basically works. Now, I am wondering if there is any way to change the directory that the installer installs the files to. I want to be able to put my files in a specified directory (user specified is good, but i don't mind hardcoding the path either) and...

Hi, I'm trying to use a custom action to modify a database (rather than create one) using the VS.NET '03's help example called "Custom Action to Create Database During Installation".

Hi, I am trying to create a web setup project for my asp.net 2.0 website and I had some problems. It worked fine until I want to add some custom actions into it. As some of you already knew, custom actions get fired AFTER the real installation is done. I want to do some things like 1) check if some required software is in position if not execute an installer 2) backup some important files before installation

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
