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).

If I use the CreateObject function to create a new instance of Installer I will have no problem (see a code below). However, I am wondering about is if it is possable to create a new Installer object without using CreateObject? Dim msiInstaller As...

When I perform: EventLog.WriteEntry(strSource, strEntry, EventLogEntryType.Error, intEventID) The event viewer reports The description for Event ID ( 234 ) in Source ( Siclops_WS_Mobile ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. I think I need to create a dll that returns error messages for event ID’s.

In the past for VS 2003 .NET 1.1 Windows Service projects, I've been using InstallUtil. I'm now converting it over to VS 2005 and .NET 2.0 and would like to create a stand alone installer -- should I use the Setup Project template in VS 2005? Can this handle Windows Service installs? thanks, Rob.

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,...
