How would one create a custom install with specifc application insatll ?
-
Hello, I was wondering how can I build a custom install that would show the user a list of optional applications, and the user will be able to choose which he wants ? (like the custom insatllation of office/windows) I have tried to go over the standard dialog of the "setup project" in visual, but didn't find anything suitable ? On the same subject, what are the merge modules, and what are they good for ? thanks, berlus

merge modules allow you to merge code into your install, such as runtime libraries, etc. The list of optional applications - I dunno what you can do with VS but with www.advancedinstaller.com, I can set up files to be installed, make them part of groups, then have the user select which groups to install. The Office etc stuff is more complex again, I doubt they use the standard MSI format for that.
