Setup Project - Contents Of A Folder

All,

I have a setup (deployment) project in my solution that installs my
application. I also have help files outside of my solution that I
want to include into my setup project. All of the help files are
located on another folder on my system.

I've added a new folder in my setup called Help, which will be created
under my installation folder. Can I have the setup gather all of the
files from the folder containing my help files rather than
specifically selecting each file? Another department is maintaining
the help so I would like for the setup to simply get all files from a
folder.

Thanks in advance!

If you are using the ClickOnce deployment, then no. You have to specify the
files to be included in the deployment.

I'm not using ClickOnce deployment. I'm using the 'standard' Setup
Project found in VS 2005. Can I do this in this type of project?

I would think so, but I haven't mucked around with that, so I don't know how
you would do that. Hopefully someone else will help you.

In my solution's Setup project, I'm adding a folder to the user's Start Menu, and putting a couple of shortcuts in it. When I use Add/Remove Programs to uninstall the application, the shortcuts are deleted, but the folder stays there. Any thoughts on how I can cause the folder to be deleted as well? Thanks.

Hi, I have a web project, that includes an App_Code folder - code in this folder gets built into a dll, but I have no control over the name of this dll. If I create a web setup project, all the content files, and the dll's from any libraries used by my project all end up in the setup output, but the App_Code dll does not. How do I get this dll included in the setup so it can be installed with the rest of my code?

I'm a newbie when it comes to asp.net. All my prior experience is in making Windows applications in C++.

So if another user got the project from source control, they would also know which dlls are required by the project. In ASP.net, it...

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,...
