one build: generate two files...

Is there anyway to do the following with one build and one AdvancedInstaller project:

file 1) create a self-extracting executable that includes the .msi file

file 2) also generate a separate .msi file: the same one that is within file-1

From my web site, I want to allow users to either download ...

can I customize the prerequisite dialog boxes layouts?

Can I customize the prerequisite dialog boxes layouts?

I don't see them in the list of dialog boxes that I can edit.

I found the fields that let me change the text and graphics, and whether or not to show the info dialog box, and the other options.

Is it possible to define an Advanced Installer project where I build my .MSI file using WiX 3.0 using a VS 2008 msbuild project, and then programmatically use Advanced Installer for generating the bootstrap program?

* single self-extracting setup.exe
* checking for prerequisites and installing them ...

Re: Installer for VSTO Add-In

We need to do the same exact thing because we have a similar plug-in installer we are building.

Why did this tool not having a "log" parameter become an issue?

Re: how do I specify the homesite for a prerequisite

I guess Advanced Installer cannot use the msbuild "homesite" values.

If I want to have my installer go to the Microsoft web site and automatically download and install different prerequisite products, such as .NET 2.0, VSTO 2.0 SE runtime, and the Office 2007 Primary Interop Assemblies (PIA) what ...

Re: how do I use standard msbuild bootstrapper packages?

That misses what I'm trying to do here.

The only reason I would purchase "Advanced Installer" licenses is because I need a polished bootstrapper: the MSI part of the installer I could easily do using WiX.

And so my entire evaluation of "Advanced Installer" is for the bootstrapper features: single ...

Re: Installer for VSTO Add-In

how do I specify the homesite for a prerequisite

For example, within an msbuild package's product.xml file, I have the definition... can I use the "HomeSite" way of specifying prerequisities within an Advanced Installer project?

How would the below map to an Advanced Installer prerequisite definition? Meaning, if I want the installer to download ...
