Creating an installer
-
Hi, I am using Visual Studio 2005 C++/CLI and I need to create an installer for an application. The documentation I have says to create a new project and select "InstallShield 12 Projects" but there is no selection available. Does anyone have information on how to get an installer created for a completed application? Thanks, Buck

Hi Mike, Since I e-mailed I discovered Microsoft documentation about 'Deployment in Visual Studio'. The docs are for Visual Studio 2003, 2005, and 2008. I printed off the docs and I am trying to implement the 'Windows Installer Deployment Tasks'. The first in the list is 'How to: Install Prerequisites in Windows Installer Deployment'. Of course when I follow the instructions of selecting the project in the Solution Explorer and selecting Properties and the in the Property Pages dialog box I expand the Configuration Properties node where I am supposed to select the build page and click the Prerequisites button. Only there is NO prerequisites button to click on (what a surprise). I'll play with the other 'How to:' items in the Windows Installer Deployment Tasks list to see what other functions don't appear to exist on my machine. Thanks, Buck

Have a look at nsis[^], I use it for my installations and it's pretty easy to use.
