Have you built the windows app you are trying to package? I presume you have
specified you want to add the 'primary content from project x' and it is
unable to find the exe file.

Does the windows app run OK with no build errors?

Yes, I checked, the app is running fine.

Tell me this - in the tutorial, the windows application that is added is the
one we are trying to install, right ? Or is it only for handling the custom
installation ?

In the example, you are starting with a blank solution. The install action
is for the windows application you create in the first section, as is the
custom action in the installer.

Do I take it you have created your own windows project you want to deploy
and you want to get the installer to open a webpage like in the example? If
so, you have to create the 'OpenWeb' project at the beginning of the example
and add the primary output from both your application and the 'OpenWeb'
project to the installer. Then, for the custom action set it to the primary
output from OpenWeb, not your application.

Installer question

by: Patrick De Ridder | last post by:

When I apply the installer to create a setup.exe for clients, I get "default company name" in the suggested file location. How do I change "default company name" into a more appropriate setting? (I don't want clients to have to do that. So I am talking about a setting change in the Visual C#.NET IDE when setting up the installer.) I would be very obliged to have a response to this query. -- Regards, Patrick.

Installer - Custom Textboxes in UI problem

by: Craig | last post by:

I have added a 'Textboxes (A)' to my UI installer project along with a custom action to pass the value back to a class I've written to override the void Install function. As long as the text is very simple everything is working just fine. I've tested it by writing the string out to a text file to test it. However, the trouble comes in when I use the textbox for what I really intended, a ADO.Net Connection String. The textbox is to...
