Hi all,
No need to reply now as I have the extra code to make the MSI installer
work. In the document quoted, the CustomInstaller project required some more
code than was evident in the document mentioned in my previous post.
The keyword in that document was "component" of the title "Installer
Component". When I created the CustomInstaller, I created it in VS .NET 2003
as a Class Library to create the DLL. What was not automatically added was
the Component-side of this project, code which I got from Graham McKechnie -
thanks.
Regards,
Neville Lang
