deployment process in vb.net
-
I was doing the deployment in vb.net 2005 . There are few things that i want to incorporate into my setup. like my messages during the setup .As such .... I will not be able to do these implementation with the help of deployment wizard which is provided into the visual studio 2005 Can i do it manually .I want to start from the scratch.So which kind of knowledge should I acquire , so that i can accomplish this problem.

You need to write a C++ program that doesn't use .NET, so you know it will run on the target machine, which does the installation. You'll find it much easier to write a program which launches your MSI.

Christian , What is MSI:confused:
It's an installer program.

.U suggested to write a program in C++.
Yes, a program that does the install would need to be C++.

If i am going to write the program at official timing then....boss will fire me.Bcos i am suppose to wite programs in vb.net
Then your boss is a moron.

Is there any other another way out
No, if you want to write your own program that does installation, it's a dumb idea to start with, but it needs to be in C++, unless you know for sure that all the machines you deploy to will have .NET installed

Does vb6 has anything to do with this problem.
No, why would it ? VB6 also requires a runtime AFAIK, but I never use it, it's worse than VB.NET. If it can make an exe that runs anywhere, you could use it. Your core idea is dumb tho, you should not write your own installer program, you should create an MSI. Writing an installer will take you a long time, if you do it properly.

well, there are articles about customizing your setup program in codeproject itself, try to search for those articles.
