    We need to package a windows application(C#) as an installable and during the installation by the user we need to get details about the different servers like Database server name or IP and test if the server exists. If we use the standard Setup in .net we are not able to customize it as we want ,i.e. we are not able to write any code for testing the user inputs. Please Advice . TIA

      You would better use third party product like Installshield for that.Customizing Windows Installer is not simple at all.

      Life is a stage and we are all actors!
