C # program packaging, installation, and deployment

Today, I have compiled some specific documents on how to install the program installation package. These documents do not ensure that everyone can correctly generate and run the installation package, however, the guiding role of these documents is still necessary for friends who need it, during the installation and deployment of the actual product, some enterprises may install the installation program by using some powerful installation packages, and some enterprises or individuals may make their own installation packages. In order to help new users, I hope you can share these documents and apply these knowledge to your actual work.

Currently, the main content of this document is as follows:

I. Create a Windows Installation Project

Ii. Add a Content File

3. Add project output

4. Add Registry Information

5. create shortcuts

6. Generate a Windows Installer

 

Note: In the process of creating the installation package program, the steps do not have to be the same as the above steps. Different installation needs are sometimes more complex and cumbersome than these steps, this document only provides reference value and guidance.

After adding the project output files, content files, shortcuts, and registry items required by the Windows Installer, right-click the Windows Installation Project in the Solution Explorer window, select "generate" in the shortcut menu to generate a Windows installer. Select generate option 1.
