Developing a Plug-in

[Talyrond]

Hi, I am evaluating InstallAware and I need to see if I can create a plug-in that will install a specific SDK version of DirectX 9.0c (Managed)

I have been searching hard for sample VC++ source code for any type of plug-in (only found one named EVAL, but I could not get it to compile in VS2005) with no luck.

C++ is not my first choice language and I have to say that I am finding the task overwhelming with out at least a couple of samples to get me going!

So I guess my question is whether there are any sample plug-in source code examples (like the DirectX runtime)? and more in depth documentation available? I have found the Visual C++ template which is obviously helpful.

Thanks

Julian

If you want to build a custom runtime installer, it would be easier to get it done without building a custom plug-in for it.

Just look at the whitepapers on the publications section of our website. We have a whitepaper called "Extending the Application Runtimes View" which describes how to create custom application runtimes using MSIcode scripting only.

That would serve your needs very well and would be a lot easier method to use.
