Creating evaluation installer
-
Im using VS 2005, I have created the installer for a windows project, I need to restrict the software to 30 days. Do I use registry settings to do so, How?

I do not think the trial setting thing is an installer thing... An installer makes sure your app and all libraries that your app requires are installed on the target computer. Creating trial version functionality requires you to program a bit more knowledge in your application. Ofcourse you can set a registry value at install time, but users can then edit the value using regedit and prevent your app from neatly 'refuse to work' as soon as the trial period expires.

So you mean, I need to write code in the software to stop itselft after , say.. 30 days from the install time?
