Question

I need to create a msi file which would be expire after say 45 days using VS setup Project.
How can i implement this without using the database.The user wont be able to change or update any settings of expiry.

Answer 1

There is no option in Visual Studio Setup Project to do so.

Instead you can read the values from registry / other secure source on Application Start

Here is a code snippet on how to do it without DB
