Installer Class

[dotnetgirl]

Hello All!!

Can anyone give me some good sample for Installer class. I have to put my resource xml files from assembly on users harddisk after the installation is complete. How should i proceed to achieve this?

Thanks for any help.

Why do u need an installer class for that ?

Cant you just put them in a folder in your application folder and use them ?

But ..

Thanks for your reply.

Actually i dont want my resources visible to user. This files will contain setting information and a list. But that will be updatable by user. I wanted to embed that files into assembly, but they will not be written back i suppose.
I thought of keeping them in assembly but if i am able to update the assembly resources back and use them later.
But its not possible.
I can put these files in Application Folder. Can u tell me what more i ve to do to protect from direct user access?

Reply please.

What you can do is either use the registry to store that info or simply an access database(password protected) in your application folder. Both are updatable and cannot be changed by the user, Although can be deleted ....
