I need to create Installer for my VB.NET App. Here are the issues that I am facing while creating setup with Visual Studio 2010
- Tried to add .NET Framework 4 (The installation fails because of missing WIC - http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=162643) - I dont think my app is dependent on WIC.
- Cant add WIC directly to the setup wizard in Visual Studio. It doest lists WIC in prerequisites
- Need to add MS Installer 4.5 too
- Microsoft Access database Engine is not listed in prerequisites - (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?familyid=C06B8369-60DD-4B64-A44B-84B371EDE16D&displaylang=en). How to add this ?
Why doesnt Visual Studio creates a single self-extractor setup. (It creates separate setup.exe and .msi)
Well there is nothing that can be done for the big setup size after adding all these components (32 & 64 bit).
What I am looking for is to create a simple (single file) installer which will silently install dependencies and provider user with a simple wizard to install my software.
Any Ideas? or any other tools that can help here.<br/>
<br/>
Thanks & Regards
