Wrestling with the Windows Installer A Visual Studio .NET Setup project looks good at first, but there are plenty of traps for the unwary, and some features require external tools. By Tim Anderson. Visual Studio includes integrated support for creating setup applications so that you can easily deploy your .NET applications. It is disappointing that it doesn't error calling know how to deploy the .NET Framework runtime - a problem fixed in the forthcoming 2005 release - but it still has some nice features. It is in effect a visual editor for Microsoft Installer databases, the .MSI files you will be familiar with if you work with Windows. An installation engine that understands .MSI files is built into Windows, including automatic repair and some great features for administrators rolling an application out across an entire network. The Microsoft error calling msi Installer is therefore is the officially preferred approach to Windows deployment. At first glance Visual Studio is a decent MSI editor. I did discover that the dependency detection is not reliable, and for a while I was plagued with duplicate assemblies appearing by magic, but there's a tip to fix this: remove the SearchPath, which is a property of the setup project, and dependency detection will no longer bother you. It is also important to read up on a few critical installer features. At a minimum, you need to understand the meaning of the UpgradeCode, ProductCode and PackageCode, and the implications of Version, RemovePreviousVersions and DetectNewerInstalledVersion. You learn that you never ever change the UpgradeCode, and that Version must be incremented if you want the setup to install over the top of an existing version of your app, and that you should let Visual Studio generate new ProductCode and PackageCode GUIDs when it wants to. You also learn to beware of installing things like database or configuration files with your setup. Here's how it can go wrong. You install somedata.mdb and someconfig.ini with the first cut of your application. Works great. Now here comes the next version. If you have RemovePreviousVersions set, the installer will handily delete the user's database and config files before installing brand new versions. Probably not what you want. You can get round this by setting the Permanent property to
