setup and deploying

H

I new in deploying applications with visual studio 2005.
I've used the setup wizard for a project when the user deploys the project I
need to now where the user has put it. (path of the deployment)
An other program has to now where it is.

So I was thinking on using the registry for my problem but how do I get the
path of the installation folder in to the registry?
And is there a book or pdf on deploying and setup applications with vs2005?

Thanks

steve

Like the title says, my installation of VC# 2005 Beta 2 doesn't seem to have a Setup kind of project available.

I have the .Net Framework SDK 2.0 installed (of course, also the Framework) but no use. I was used to this handy kind of project since VS 2003 but now I have to resort to 3rd party software to deploy...

Now instead of a virtual directory I've created a new Web sight and registered the IP address and Host Header information with the DNS...

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,...
