Visual Studio Setup & Deployment: Adding Pre Requisits -


I set up & amp; Microsoft Chart controls the Microsoft SQL 2008 Express Edition (not 2005)

etc.:

  etc. .  

This option is not in VS 2008, and in the window (the image above) there is only one link, but it goes to a page with 2 "bootstrapper package" It also does not know what it is)

Any ideas about how to add users to this project in order to manually install it?

Thank you.

If you have folder C: \ program files \ Microsoft Visual Studio 8 \ SDK \ v2.0 \ BootStrapper \ Package (VS 2005) or, VS For 2008, C: \ Program Files \ Microsoft \ SDK \ Windows \ v6.0 A \ BootStrapper \ Package

As shown on your screenshot, under each package you can see each folder listed for you. There is a condition.

So, if you want to add MyPrereq as a condition, then you need me 'MyPrereq' ake your own folder under 'package' then you have a product.xml file like this Create

   & Lt; / PackageFiles & gt; & Lt; InstallChecks & gt; & Lt; / InstallChecks & gt; & Lt; Order reboot = "none" & gt; & Lt; Command PackageFile = "MyPrereq.exe" Est Estsececonds = "90" & gt; & Lt; InstallConditions & gt; & Lt; / InstallConditions & gt; & Lt; ExitCodes & gt; & Lt; ExitCode value = "0" result = "success" /> & Lt; DefaultExitCode result = "unsuccessful" string = "normal failer" format excursion = "correct" /> & Lt; / ExitCodes & gt; & Lt; / Command & gt; & Lt; / Order & gt; & Lt; / Products & gt;  

And your package like this Xml file

  & lt ;? Xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"? & Gt; & Lt; Package name = "MyPreak" culture = "culture" xmlns = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/2004/01/bootstrapper" & gt; & Lt; Strings & gt; & Lt; String name = "culture" & gt; N & lt; / String & gt; & Lt; String name = "display name" & gt; Myperrel & lt; / String & gt; & Lt; String Name = "General Failure" & gt; A critical error occurred, the installation failed. & Lt; / String & gt; & Lt; / Strings & gt; & Lt; / Package & gt;  

and place these files in the folder and your setup package (MyPrereq.exe).

If you do anything correctly, you will be able to see the "MyPrereq" option in the list of "Which Requirements to Be Installed Before". For example, see existing packages as an example.
