Deployment options---no wizrard

[Guest]

I am using VB.net 2002 Standard Edition, so I do not have a deployment
wizard, I use the template.

There are two features I would like to add.

1) the presentation of a Eula message for selection ok or cancel before
the .net Windows installer begins expanding files,

2) the ability to directly start my program at the conclusion of the
install, instead of requiring the user to find the icon on the desktop and
click it.


any suggestions?


thanx.......joisey

I don´t know about the template, but if everything else fails, you can
create a setup with those features easily with the free InnoSetup installer
(http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php). The QuickStart Pack (ISTool script
editor) makes it really easy to create setups. It does not use Windows
Installer technology, but on the the other hand when the progress bar
reaches 100% you are done, it does not start again at 0% ;-)
