Installer question

[No One]

Does anyone know if a .Net installer app can be programmed to pick up
any extra files that are not in the C# project and install them at
runtime? Let's say I have a few images that are a part of the C#
project. The installer project picks them up fine. Now say a user runs
the installer and there are a few extra image files in the directory. I
need to be able to pick these files up and install them in the same
place as the images that were already a part of the C# project. Any
clues??

You aren't going to be able to do this. You will have to specify that
the images are part of the install project if you want to make sure that
they are installed.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

you could look at adding a Custom Action, which is a bit of code that the
installer runs once the project files have been copied into place.
