Multiple pieces in a Deployment project


Multiple pieces in a Deployment project Roy Chastain

visual studio .net general:
I have a product that has a User Interface, a service, a middle ware piece and a database. I would like to be able to install
different pieces according to the user direction. Much like the select components dialog from Install Shield installs.

Is there any way to do that with the tools supplied in VS .net 2003?

Thanks

Not really. Those selection dialogs typically show features you can choose
or add/remove later. MSI files generated by VS have a single feature and
there is no IDE support for multiple features.

See if any of these help:
