C # program Packaging

C # There are two types of program packaging: one is the package method that comes with vs, and the other is the third-party packaging method. In vs2013, there is no package, installation, and deployment, only a third party is created.

The third-party packaging method is simple. After downloading Baidu InstallShield and installing it, you can run it directly, which is simple and easy to understand.

The next step is the next step. You don't have to pay attention to it. Let's talk about the next method.

Create a new installation and deployment solution and add all the package files to the referenced Program folder, if you want a shortcut Between the program menu and the user's desktop, create a shortcut and add it to the corresponding file.

Customize operations and add the programs you want to execute.

You can add corresponding effects on the user interface.

Select the properties of the referenced Program folder, modify the defaultlocation value, and remove the default installation path. Otherwise, it will be installed in C:/, which is not easy to find. This is also the description of Baidu.

Click Solution Properties, as shown below

Find the productcode, which is the identifier of the uninstalled product.

Get this value to the unmount attribute of the custom operation. The unmount file is the msiexec.exe file under Windows/system32/drivers. This unmount operation is not implemented by myself. It is installed with the windows8.1 system and is not very familiar with it.

The next step is the installation operation. This is to add a class library project. Add/targetdir = "[targetdir]"/attribute in customactiondata so that the class library project can get the PATH value.

In this way, the specified executable file will be executed after the installation. The basic operations are messy, and the functions are complete.
