Question

I have created a widows application with setup project. I compiled and build.Everything looks fine.

For changing the configuration file during installation am trying to add a new Installer file. when i add it by default i get the below code

 [RunInstaller(true)]
    public partial class Installer : Installer
    {
        public Installer()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }
    }

before modifying When i compile this Am gettin Circular base class dependency involving ‘windows_setup.Installer’ and ‘windows_setup.Installer’

windows setup is the name space i used for the application

After that i changed the class name to

public partial class MyInstaller : Installer

Now am getting Inconsistent accessibility: base class ‘windows_setup.Installer’ is less accessible than class ‘windows_setup.MyInstaller

Why am getting this and how to resolve this…?

Thanks

Answer 1

This is a partial class and you have two source files associated with the class. You must change the second source file to use the MyInstaller class name.
