Hello I want to create a MSI file programmatically. Do you know of any third party .NET component which can help me with that? I'm going to use it like a self extracting zip. So it is not for a VS.NET setup project. Zip files will not do because these shall be distributed via System Management Server (SMS).

It took a few hours of typing for...

Hello everyone, I am trying to create an application that utilizes a SQL Mobile database. I have included that database in my main project, and it compiles and debugs just fine. I then created a custom installer project packaged as a class library and made an installer project to wrap the whole thing up into an MSI package. Basically the idea behind doing all this is so the handheld app can be pushed out through group policy.

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,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention.
