Question

I want to create a installer which
would just dump few files and folders
at a location specified by user. But
the problem is these files are
required to be picked up from a fixed
source folder and then the installer
is build. Also, these files may change
any time and then again a new version
of the installer is required to be
created.

I want to do this in .Net using Setup and Deployment project. I’m not sure how to do this.
Do I need to create another class library project with a Setup Poject?

Actually the installer will have two options:

1. Simply extract the files at the specified location
2. Embed the files (the HTML files) in the intranet sharepoint site.

Does anyone has any idea?

Answer 1

I created a windows application with several forms doing all the required stuff. This windows application behaved like a Setup.
