I have been having issues with getting a bootstrapper working
for some time now. i just recently found the program
setupbld, and it looks like it might solve my problems. Here
is what i aim to achieve the user runs setup.exe. it would
detect and prerequisits and install them, then launch the msi
but passing the update parameters if it already exists.
curretly my setup.exe installs the prereqs but i have to do a
major upgrade everytime. which is causing us major amounts of
work with hacking things to make the update go smoothly. this
isnt pleasent for us or the end user.
will setupbld let me do this. if not is there a known
bootstrapper that can achieve this for me.
Back to installshield if not :( not something i would relish
I'm using the dotNetInstaller bootstrapper
(http://www.codeproject.com/install/dotNetInstaller.asp), which I've
modified to use the MSI APIs to detect whether the product is already
installed and perform the right type of upgrade. It's not too hard to
implement.
Regards,
John
