Tutorial for Install Shield 2010 Limited Edition VS 2010?

Hi

Does anyone have a tutorial that they could point me too? I am kinda confused about some of the steps in the wizard for install Shield 2010 limited edition.

I don't get parts like the regsitry step or the project output step.

I am also trying to do this. I have a .dll that contains a event logger installer and I have cmd line application that uses this event logger. So in my installation I need to first install my .dll(it would have to run the installutil in MS framework folder) then install my cmd line application I am unsure how to do this.

Plus my installer would need to be promoted with admin rights. Since I don't think you can install a event log without admin rights.

[CODE] [RunInstaller(true)]
public class MyInstaller : Installer
{
private const string EVENT_SOURCE = "Notifier";
private const string EVENT_LOG = "NotifierLog";

public MyInstaller()
{
EventLogInstaller log = new EventLogInstaller();
log.Source = EVENT_SOURCE;
log.Log = EVENT_LOG;
Installers.Add(log);
}

}[/CODE]

That is my .dll with my event log in it.

Hi,

Kindly refer the following link to watch a video regarding how to build an installation project with InstallShield Limited Edition for Visual Studio 2010.

http://www.flexerasoftware.com/promolanding/10908.htm

You may navigate to the Custom Actions view in InstallShied limited edition and click on the link Using Custom actions.

This will launch the InstallShield Help Library that is installed with InstallShield Limited Edition which has more information regarding custom actions.

You may also refer the help topic “Registry” which has more information regarding Creating a Registry Key.

Thanks,
Lenwin
