Deployment project

[DeepButi]

I just created my first deployment project and ended up with five files:

Setup.exe
Setup.ini
MyProj.msi
InstMsiA.exe
InstMsiW.exe

Should I distribute all of them (3.6MB to deploy a 124KB dll!! :rolleyes: ) or just someones (wich ones?) ?

Thanks in advance

These two:

InstMsiA.exe
InstMsiW.exe

are actually the Windows Installer runtimes, and the only time they are needed is if the target machine does not have it installed already.

I'm not sure if you really need the setup.exe/ini files... you might be able to simply run MyProj.msi. Give it a try and see what happens :)

Thanks Craig,

MyProj.msi file is enough, you were right

If it's just a DLL, why not zip/rar it and send it out? I don't see anyone needing an installer for a DLL.....

You could even make a batch file to let it copy itself.

kasracer,
you're right, I was only making my first try as an example to see if other dll's called by mine wil be also included (and they were).

Perhaps not the best project to begin with ...:blush: I must agree.
