Correct project type
Hello,
We are in the process of buying InstallShield2008. I haven't seen or used it before but I’m browsing through the documentation online. There seems to be numerous project types.
Can someone give me a suggestion on what type of project shall I create to meet my requirements below? So at least I’ll start off on the “right foot” when I receive the software and start using it.
Will need to do:
- create a directory and a directory share
- configure a MSSQL 2000 server as a publisher
- create a new MSSQL user
- create a new MSSQL database
- create a new MSSQL publication
- install and configure SQL Server 2000 CE 2.0
- install and configure couple of web sites on IIS
- configure anonymous access to these web sites
- run an EXE program to load data into the new MSSQL database
- … and I can keep going but won’t
So as part of this installation package, it’ll have to do numerous tasks without user intervention.
Thank you.

Hi,
you can print this document, its a free document for installshield 2008 and on this document you will find some information about project type and some sample.
http://www.microway.com.au/installshield/is2008_eval_guide.pdf
For all your topic, for me i think i choose the project => basic msi project.
i use often basic msi project and it enough simply to do what you need (launch sql script, connect database, install web site, run exe with insert data , and so on).
Have a nice day
Christophe
