    Hi. I have finished my app and now would like to have an installer which would copy the files to a dir chosen by the user, register my file type and an icon in the system and also an uninstaller which would unregister and delete the dir. Are there any components for that or do I have to do it myself?

      In Visual Studio there is a group of projects called "Setup and Deployment Projects". In the group there is a "Setup Project". This can be added to your solution in order to build a setup for your application.

            Ok, I managed to make an installer :-) But how can I add something to the register during install and remove it during uninstall?

              I have a code that works: it registers my files with the file system. it's an exe but it can well be a method in a properties window. Hovewer, I'd like to add it during install. Can anybody tell me how?
