hi everybody,i'm stuckand i hope you help me carry on.Idevelopped an application in c++.this application depends on configuration parametersthat shoud be stored in the windows registry.Now i need to create a setup package of this application,the user should be allowed to set configuration parameters before generating the msi.I hope you see what i mean.

thanks in advance.

Hi wajdi,

>this application depends on configuration parameters that shoud be stored in the windows registry.

I think custom action can meet this requirement. You can handle the BeforeInstall event to raise a form let user input the information and add register key. For the detail information of custom action, please read this document.

Could you please explain it more clearly? What does set configuration parameters before generating the msi mean?

If I misunderstood you, please feel free to tell me.

Sincerely,

hi kira,

thanks for replying.The application that i've got will be installed on many clients.So,the configuration parameters values are different from one client to another.What i need is a program that,first of all, allows me toset these configuration parameters which will be stored in the client registry,then the program generate the msi client according to these parameters.I hope you see what i mean.

I'm looking forward your reply.
thanks again

Hi wajdi,

Are you saying make an application which can generate MSI?
