Setup and deployment project

I am not sure if I post this issue at the correct newgroup. If I need to
post it somewhere else, please let me know what is the correct newsgroup for
this.

I am using VB.NET 2005 and I create a "setup and deployment" project.
When I use this installation to install on a user's machine, how can I merge
some registry settings into the user's machine ?

Thank you

The solution explorer, select the "Registry editor" button on the top
toolbar (it's a little button showing some blocks in cyan). Then you can
add the registry settings in the "Registry (<name of setup project>)" tab.

Great ! Thank you.
Is there any way that I can import/copy the registry settings from my
machine to the setup and deployment ? (instead of creating them one by one
in the setup and deployment )

There's an option in that Registry IDE view to import a .reg file. Do Import
on the Registry on Target Machine.

Can somebody help please or supply a link to a place where I could find the ansers or just learn how to make these projects? Thanks

Installing Merge Modules from C# Windows Form Application (not using a setup and deployment project) Hi, Currently, we have an InstallShield project that creates a setup.exe that only installs 20 or so merge modules. It does nothing else. We then have our own custom, C# Windows Form application that installs our software applications. It does this by copying files, creating registry keys, etc.

OK, sorry for the silly question but..... I have been writing apps for a while now in VB.Net but I have always just run them from the IDE. This time though I have written an app that I want to install on many computers. So, I went to the program group looking for "Package & Deployment Wizard" as in VB6 but it isn't there! So, how do I create a setup program?? Thanks

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,...
