I'm beginning to think this isn't doable within VB.NET Deployment
projects, but I wanted to ask before I went and spent the money on a
seperate installer. I have a program that runs off of an access DB
backend. For upgrades from older to newer version that involve a
change to the DB structure, I'm trying to on installation:
a. make a copy of the mdb to a bak.mdb file
b. install the upgrade including a blank mdb with all the modifications
c. run an upgrade utility that copies all of the data from the bak.mdb
to the new db.
Does anyone have any recommendations on how to do this (in VS.net
2003)? If not, can anyone recommend some good (hopefully cheap)
installation software that can do this?
I apppreciate the help!
