which tool can help me to realize it?


1) VS.Net 2003 has a "setup and deployment" project type.

2) There is a free tool called MakeMSI that can do the job as well:

3) There is also a tool in the platform SDK (Orca?) which can edit MSI
packages. You might want to google for it. I just did that and this article
came up:

I have written a C# program and then make the setup project. I specify the prerequisite (.NET Framework 3.5) to be downloaded as the same location as my location. However, I find that my project built has almost 200MB because the folder DotNetFX35 occupies 194MB already. How can I make it smaller? I don't want the user download .NET Framework 3.5 on Microsoft's website. Thanks for any idea in advance.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. 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,...
