Hi

I need to create an installer using the new features of Windows Installer 4.5 - that is MSI Chaining. I dont have a license to any installer development tools (InstallSheild, Wise Installers etc). How do I go about doing this using the VS 2008 Setup and Deployment project and/or is there any other way to implement this stuff.


Thanks,
SB.

Look at WiX (it's free). They're building a tool called Burn that will help. There's no support in Visual Studio setups for chaining or embedded UI. WiX was originally planned for VS 2010 (it was in the Beta) although they backed it out later. However, the point here is that Setup Projects are moving towards WiX anyway.
