Is it possible/how to skip the first dialog in setup bootstrap?

Hi,

We have created a setup project for an app in MS VS .Net with Windows
Installer Bootstrapper selected. When installing the app, we wonder if it is
possible to start the installation using setup.exe without being asked the
question to either start the installation or to quit the installation (the
first dialog that appears)? Can it be done in Orca or in another tool and how?

(We know that this behaviour is accomplished when we start the installation
using the msi file but we'd like to use setup.exe)

Regards,
Ulf

Hi, I am trying to use BULK INSERT with format file. All of our data has few bytes of header in the data file which I would like to skip before doing BULK INSERT. Is it possible to write format file to skip these few bytes of header before doing BULK INSERT? For example, I have a 1 GB data file with 1000 byte header. Except for first 1000 bytes, rest of the data is good for BULK INSERT.

Hi, I have gone the setup project route and added the setup project to my solution as in the guide. I have checked the dependancy's and they all seem to be there. Now do I just build the project then move the project files to CD or am I missing a step? Do I have to be in release mode for my App in order to do the setup build? How can I check to make sure Framework 1.1 was installed as well?

Specifically, I want to be able to get a look at the environment and then set the defaults that will be shown when the install dialog comes up. For example, a default directory name would be based upon the Windows user id, so I'd like to set the default, but still allow them to override it using the textbox. ...

Hi We in our company build asp.net and MS SQL Server apps for deployment on clients' machines.

This already works in the MSI file we create. However, if the application DOES...

Hello, I am writing a tool to package several files into a single file. It is quite similar to the 'phar' PEAR package but with more features, as I want to connect it with an autoload mechanism.

Greetings. In an effort to get python2.4 on my Centos 3.7, I installed the python bootstrap rpm. This installed 2.4 alongside 2.2 and updated yum to 2.4.0. Oddly, it didn't create a symlink 'python' for either 2.2 or 2.4. I also get a series of troubling dependency errors when I run yum update. Below is the output of the bootstrap install, which includes both a failure early on (possibly related to alternatives and/or the symlink?)...
