Adding "stuff" to an Installation Project

Z

Zack Sessions

Running VB.NET 2003. I have an application that is a "client/server"
type application. The VB.NET code depends on a set of stored
procedures to do some of the more complex SQL stuff. I have a script
that installs all the stored procs and related tables. Can I have this
script run automatically during the installation of the VB.NET app? I
do have an Installation Project defined for the app.

TIA,

You can try out InnoSetup. It's a freeware 3rd party installer. With it
you can include your script file in the installer and execute it after the
files are copied.

It's pretty easy to learn and I'm now a convert from NSIS (Nullsoft
Scriptable Installer System).

You can get it from: http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php

I also recommend downloading ISTool. It's a GUI for InnoSetup that helps
you write the installations. You'll find it on InnoSetup's website.
