How to create a deployment? (Project: combinatin of C# and VB6.0)

[ksskumar]

Hi Friends,

My software's target is to creating a add-in for Outlook.

I am struckup of creating deployment of my software.

My software flow is as follows,

1. Complete functionality is done in C# Class library project
In this .dll I am used the following COM components,
a. Microsoft.Office.Core
b. Outlook
c. MAPI and stdole

I registered the .dll in GAC and windows registry.

2. Then the above dll is referred from a Visual Basic 6.0 Outlook
Add-in project (.tlb file of the .Net dll). Then I compailed the
project. The add-in is automatically added to Outlook in my machine.

The above steps are done without any errors and the software is
working fine in my system (development system).

If I want to test the software, I have to create a deployment setup.
I dont know how to create a SINGLE deployment wizard to install both
(Manageed C# dll and Unmanaged Visual Basic 6.0 dll) the .dll's. Also
I have to install the COM componets (used in C# module) in GAC.

I can do this thru the batch file, but I need it in some professional
way of deployment like Package and deployment wizard in Visual studio
6.

Thanks in advance

Hi Ksskumar,

I am glad you did send this post to a lot of newsgroups.
I see no relation with VB.net, I hope someone from another newsgroup can
help you.

But please, send next time your questions to newsgroups which are related
with your problem?
