I have a problem when creating installer for my project. My project is utilizing Powerpacks 10 and will be deployed on XP machines. These machines do not have internet connection.When I create the installer, can I include the Powerpacks 10 to be installed offline? Currently I have no idea to make the installer to include the powerpacks and install it offline - it always downloads the required files from internet.I looked it up on Microsoft websites and they only offer Powerpacks 3.

But I've created the installer project for .NET 2.0 framework, is this going to stop someone from installing the project without .NET framework 3/3.5?EDIT: I've found under the properties of that installer project, that .NET framework 3.5 and Windows Installer 3.1 was selected as a prerequisite, unchecked those, and checked .NET Framework 2.0, however the version under the launch condition .NET Framework is still 3.5, it should be 2.0

View 5 RepliesI am using Visual Studio 2005. I have just figured out how to create a Custom Action during installation, but I can not figure out how to get data from the installer. Following is the simple test code that I am trying to use to call the directory that the user defines during installation, but the Path string is not returning anything.
Public Overrides Sub Install(ByVal stateSaver As System.Collections.IDictionary)
MyBase.Install(stateSaver)
Dim Path As String = MyBase.Context.Parameters("targetdir")
Dim AppConfigFile As String = Path & "FilesAppConfig.txt"
MsgBox("The target filepath is: " & AppConfigFile)
End Sub
I have tried many other things, such as...
Me.Context.parameters("targetdir")
stateSaver.item("targetdir")
And I entered /INSTALLDIR="[TARGETDIR]" in the custom action data property.
Looking to have a list(Of object) where i can make my own Add method, so i can do some stuff to an item when added
Is that possible at all, been looking at the net and haven't found anything.
What actually is required to consider something installed on a machine. What happens in the background? I know VB offers an installer but Im trying to build my own from scratch. What do I need to do to accomplish this?

This goes the same with Tuples/Func too. It is nice to write but feels a bit sloppy in places. Why would anyone want Tuple(Of T, T2, T3, T4) over a nice class type? My actual piece of code has these nested, so it passes the Action along in a chain of methods.
Sorry for the VB example, AddressOf is just VBs way of saying new Action(AnAction). Also I just wrote this into the browser so it might not compile either.How to people feel about reading and using these compiler generic actions as opposed to proper special entities crafted for their exact requirements in the solution?
I've created a program that creates a registry value when it is run, and when this program is uninstalled I need it to remove this registry value if it exists. So I wrote a little command line VB.NET program that simply checks for the reg value and removes it if it exists and I added this to the Uninstall section of the Custom Actions tab in the Visual Studio deployment project that I created for this app.
I know that the command line app works because if I run it myself manually it deletes the registry value, but when I uninstall my application it does not remove the registry value so obviously this command line app is not being executed.
I've made a small program that creates a registry item in the users run key (basically starts the program on bootup), my question is does anybody know how to remove the item from all the users of the computer when the program is uninstalled?.
I know that all the other users registry hives aren't loaded at anyone time and feel a custom action dll that runs on uninstall that iterates through the 'documents and settings' folder loading the hives one at a time and removes the registry key.
Well I used the Visual Studio 2010 installer to install my application and I want it to be able to change the version displayed in the in the Add/ Remove Programs (in the Control Panel). How can I do this without going through the install wizard again?
