Deployment, including files need help

Hello,
I'm not sure how to get my setup and deployment project to include some
files not picked up by the installation. I also need to tell it where to put
those files cause they can't go in the installation folder.
So, I have some files that need to go into the Program Files\Common Files\
folders and a couple of folders below that.
Can anyone tell me how to make that happen in my setup project. Syntax
examples maybe?

Thanks
Steve

Okay, never mind. I just figured out how to create a merge module, which
btw, is the coolest thing to be able to create the merge module which let's
you tell it where all the files go. Then you add the merge module to your
apps setup project and bam, problem solved.

Thanks anyway and I hope this helps someone.

When the installer creates the target directory, it's setting them as read-only. When the...

Hi All, I have a doubt on WS. Initial deployment of an asp.net app which calls a websvc includes copying all the webreferences and proxy files (including the .cs files of the proxy) If I build a new version of the asp.net app and don't change anything in the underlying WS or the way it calls it, do I have to copy over all the webreferences again to the production box? or I can just copy the .dll file of asp.net app in the bin?

Create two ASP.NET applications. Run them on the development machine to make sure they are error free. Publish the fist application to the root of a remote webspace. Call a page and see that it operates correctly. Publish the second application to the root of the same remote webspace. Permit it to overwrite existing files. Call a page and notice that it waits forever.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

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,...
