One setup program to combine different application installation.

My problem is that I am trying to create one setup to combine different application installation. I will like the user, of the setup program, to decide which application he/she want to install.

I am using Visual Studio .NET 2005.

I would apreciate any help.

Thank you for your time.

    (custom action) condition is used to invoke the installer.cs for the project, but the files will always be installed. However you can use the installer.cs to add some addition information, like writing something in the registry. But you can not avoid copying the files.

    If you meen the "Visual Studio Setup and Installation" then it is about:

    i still believe it is possible. the page is just marketing in my opinion.

    here's what you can do, every folder and project output will have their condition property. i'm sure you can utilize it to depend on the options you added during install whereby the said folders and project outputs will not be copied to their desired directories. you can use the default checkboxes dialog for the setup project and use the checkboxes state on the Condition properties.

    there is one under windows forms, setup and deployment section. i used to post setup project questions there until i saw the visual studio setup and installation section, which i misread. i have no idea where is the right section for this, thanks for clearing that up.

    as for your query, you can try the installer class, and check for the settings that the user specified with a checkbox dialog screen added to your setup project. i've read a number of articles for this and you can start with some of my bookmarks at delicious
