Hi. I'm a fan of Null Soft scriptable installer, NSIS>. It's free, very powerful and can be gotten from www.nullsoft.com I think. Thanks. Nick. -----Original Message----- From: program-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:program-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Pranav Lal Sent: 12 October 2009 17:14 To: program-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [program-l] Choosing an installation mechanism for my visual basic .net application Hi all, I have created an application in visual basic .net. This application uses an external application that I have written in C++. How do I build an installer? I could have used the click once deployment method supported in Visual Studio Express but I do not see how to include that C++ executable file such that it is copied to the same directory as the application's executable. Does anyone have any suggestions?
