Setup Project (Tuesday, January 03, 2006)



Found the following interesting discussion in the Newsgroups:

Setup Project
by:Anonymous

I have added a setup project to a solution. The problem is that once it's added, there are no detected dependencies or any other files inside the project. I can build the project to create the .msi, but when I install it, no files are installed. The other project in the solution, which is my windows application works fine in the ide.

Any ideas what might be going on?

Thanks,
Mark

 Mark you are just missing one step.
You need to add the project output(s) of your other projects(s) to your
setup project.
Right click on the setup project and select Add-> Project Output, select
the primary output (for the files built by the project).
You can also add the other outputs if they are needed for your deployment.
I hope that clears things up.
