.Net: Adding files and folders to SETUP Project programmatically

So, here is the scenario:

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.

So this needs to be done programmatically.

Also, how can I add some coding stuff in setup projects? (New to SETUP PROJECTS)

How? Any ideas/comments appreciated...

Solution

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