Creating installers in .net


I want to create a installer which would just dump few files and folders at a location specified by user. But the problem is these files are required to be picked up from a fixed source folder and then the installer is build. Also, these files may change any time and then again a new version of the installer is required to be created.

I want to do this in .Net using Setup and Deployment project. I'm not sure how to do this. Do I need to create another class library project with a Setup Poject?

Actually the installer will have two options:

  1. Simply extract the files at the specified location
  2. Embed the files (the HTML files) in the intranet sharepoint site.

Does anyone has any idea?


Solution

  • I created a windows application with several forms doing all the required stuff. This windows application behaved like a Setup.
