Installation Key

[Guillermo]

Hi All.

Does anyone know how can i easily include a form into a
VB .NET setup project in order to make the user to insert
an Installation Key?? Of course, if the Installation Key
is not correct, to abort the setup process.

Where can i find some info about this??

Thanks a lot.

You cannot. The setup project in VS.NET is such a joke. You will have to
use other applications to do that, VS.NET will not help you.

Yes you can..

..NET Installer projects allow creation of Custom actions,
as well as having a pre-defined set of customisable forms
that can be presented to the user for gathering
information.

Have a look at the following MSDN article:

It covers customisation of IIS during installation, but
the same principles can be used for entering/checking
registration keys

Dude,

Maybe you need to look a little harder... .NET
Installation programs can be customised very easily...

Check my other post for a link to a good article...

Hopefully you can gain a new appreciation for the
installation projects in .net.
