. NET program Deployment (Setupfactory)

vs comes with the installation package is really weak, the point is not good use. have been looking for a reliable point of packaging tools. looking for a search on the internet to find Kung fu is not a conscientious, finally let me found. setupfactory I'm using the 8.0 version.

the first thing to do is to add a . NET 2.0 reference, and by default we'll add it first. He was configured through an XML file, so we first find the Dependencies directory to add a dotnet20 .XML file. This is an XML file download. too much content is some script online search, after I daoteng really can use. See the directory inside the script is not:<File> #SUFDIR #\dependencies\dotnet20\dotnetfx2.0.exe</file>. not much, you have todotnetfx2.0 also. NETFramework 2.0The installation files for the framework are copied to this path. When you do this, the resulting installation package automatically integrates the installation of the . NET Framework into it if the user system does not automatically prompt for installation. In fact, there is nothing to emphasize the user experience now. This seamless operation of the user experience is much better.

Setupfactory from his various flexible and customizable operations powerful scripting features can be said to be small and medium This software is best done. Nstallsheld too big to sell the dead expensive death.

This is the starter menu and stuff like that. Gossip Not much about, file window:

this represents the program directory that you installed , that is, what files you want to deploy to the target computer, drag files directly into or menu project ->addfiles all can. Double-click the added file to see its properties changed.

in the properties of the main execution file. Shortcut tab, tick the desktop check box directly. You can create a shortcut to the desktop during the installation process.

On the left there are a number of grouped job action menus. Here are just a few of the main ones:

Files for the file operation, the addition of deleting files and so on.

Settings a variety of basic settings such as copyright information.

Screens Displays each screen of the installation step, which is what keeps you going the next step. You then allow yourself to edit the contents of each screen.

During the various stages of the Actions installation process, you can write some scripts to do some preprocessing.

Anyway, I've never written in the actions . The script thinks it is not necessary to Write the same effect directly in the screens.

scripting  , grammar   Anything is simple   a little class vb  . the installation process is clearly defined   pre-installed   and then SCREENS&NBSP;&NBSP; VB

Gets the input value of the text box and assigns it to the variable:

Port=dlgeditfield.getproperties (ctrl_edit_01). Text;

  

There are also specific system functions that get date dates , string handler functions. There are also write text file functions.

The most basic script command jumps to the next step and jumps to the previous section:

Screen.next ();

  

This way of writing and process is a bit like flash , which controls transition animations through scripting.

following his own help, I will introduce you to the Action editor script. The help is also very thorough and very good. This is the real product of the attitude of doing things. I just looked at that broken English to help 1.1 points of Ken just put my installation package ready.
