VB Deployment - Automatically run an exe file
-
Hi, I have to run crystal reports runtime before/after installing a new vb.net project on a user's pc. How can I include the automatic installation of crystal reports runtime file when deploying a project onto a user's pc e.g. run CRRedist2008_x86.msi. I know this can be done but how? Thanks in advance.

You either have to include the CrystalReport merge modules in your .MSI or you have to create a setup wrapper (Setup.exe), otherwise called a bootstrapper, to install each .MSI. If you're installing the .NET Framework with your application, the Setup.exe cannot be written in managed code (i.e.: VB.NET or C#).
