Install Datbase in Different folder and mark in Registry

I would like to let the user choose where the datafiles are installed,
seperatly from where the program installs. Then I would like to record that
into a key in the registry. Is it possible to do this with the visual studio
installer or do I need to go to something else? It looks as if I can set the
registry up with a key like they did with the manufacturer name for the
program key but I am not sure how to do this. Plus I can't find a custom
dialog box that will allow me to add a select path for database. Any help or
hints would be appreciated.

Over the last few days, I reinstalled Win2kSP2 to a spare harddrive I had just swapped into my Fujitsu LifeBook P1120 (long story <wink>). Subsequently, I DL'ed the newest Python alpha (2.4a2), and when trying to install it, I immediately got this error: This installation package cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service. You must install a Windows service pack that contains a newer version of the Windows Installer service.

On my dev machine (XP/Pro with VS.NET 2003) I have been developing a Windows Service and installing it on the local machine by opening the Visual Studio Command Prompt and then executing .

I have an install project that sets up a custom folder to install an addin to another 3rd party program. The location of the 3rd party program can be found in the registry but I need to be able to specify where the custom folder is during the install. There is nothing in the dropdown to indicate this. Is there a way of setting up a variable that is assigned to the custom folder and then, give the value of the location of the 3rd party

Using PHP 5.26 Thread Safe. I noticed that php_exif.dll requires php_mbstring.dll. So both files get placed into extension_dir folder which loads other files properly. While trying to figure this out, I noticed some oddities that probably should get fixed. 1) The PHP website suggests that libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll should NOT get placed into the %system% folder.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

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,...
