Deployment project
-
I have developed an application in C++, and it's time to deploy it. I am using Visual Studio 2003 setup project to deploy it. It's easy to create a simple setup, but customizing the setup is a nightmare, for example, to add a page that displays a log that is generated by an external application that is run during the installation. During uninstallation, it says that I should close MSN messenger, Windows Messenger and Notepad before uninstalling. Remove Previous Version also does not work consistently, sometimes, it removes the previous version automatically, at other times, it just gives a messagebox telling that I should remove the earlier version from the control panel. Am I missing something or are these bugs that you have encountered earlier? Also, the documentation for setup projects seems to be limited. Could you point me to some good articles on creating setup projects with a fair level of customization?

I have been using Inno setup for other projects and am happy with it. But for this case, I need to include merge modules into the setup, which, I do not think, is possible with Inno setup. That is why I resorted to the Visual Studio setup in the first place.
