I am working on a project, where I need to give a repair/remove option

  • 0

I am working on a project, where I need to give a repair/remove option to my installer [which will be shown at installation time] if the program previously installed. And I need to do it with VS 2008. Please help me on that.

EDIT: Actually for some security reason I removing registry entry for previous installation. So that I can uninstall it from my application only, which is password protected. So thats why I need to customize that repair/remove option. So that it will appear by seeing some specific registry value. How can I do that ?

Thanks.

    Just add a Setup project to your current solution. A setup project uses the Windows Installer technology which gives you the repair and remove option for free. Use this type of project when you have a “simple” installation. If you want more control (custom dialogs) you should install Wix. It plugs into VS and you can define an installation file in XML which is then compiled to a Windows Installer package.
