Can UI dialogs be displayed conditionally?
Posted by Bogdan at 6/10/2007 10:38:54 AM
Hi, Files and custom actions can have conditions set in their properties. This does not seem to be true for UI dialog boxes. I'm surprised that such an important feature has been missed in deployment projects. How can you ask a user to enter info that has nothing to do with options that ...more >>

How to run cmd.exe or other exe on user's machine from a setup project?
Posted by Bogdan at 6/4/2007 2:43:31 PM

I think that this is custom action type 50. I can't figure out how to add such exe to my setup project in VS...more >>



Is [TARGETDIR] available in UI dialog boxes of a setup project?
Posted by dan at 6/4/2007 2:34:11 PM
Hi, I thought I could provide a default value as [TARGETDIR] for a text box in a UI dialog box. This does not seem to work though. Is this because this property is not yet available at this stage? Is there another 'variable' that I can use instead? Thanks, Dan ...more >>

Entry point installers
Posted by Varangian at 6/1/2007 3:31:13 PM
Hi, I have a dll that has two installer classes (classes that inherit from .NET Installer). These two installers are different since one is used for a setup and the other for another one.
