A newbe question.

Postby Jerzy » Tue Aug 28, 2012 2:14 pm

Hi,
I open the IA project created in Visual Studio but i can't find any files I selected in VS to be copied into $targetdir$ or into GAC, the Files/$targetdir$ and Assemlies lists are empty. Where can i find these files to know what will be installed (and where). This is important because i need include outputs from many projects/solutions in one IA project and want to avoid files duplication. Additionaly it is nice to see what happens during installation.

Dear Jerzy,

are you using the InstallAware Add in with Visual Studio?

If true, your files are installed by a predefined script called "InstallAutogen", added automatically with InstallAware project creation ( ... select "Create a setup project" from "InstallAware" Visual Studio menu).
This script is executed by your setup package by the following code that you should have with your main script:

- Include Script: InstallAutogen

Open the script "InstallAutogen" in IA MSI view and you should have the code that effectively installs your files ( ... you can use the "Launch InstallAware" command from "InstallAware" Visual Studio menu).
