Advanced Installer Integration

Wed Sep 07, 2011 3:38 pm

Hi,

Thanks for integrating AI with Visual Studio 2010.

Suggestion -1-
The version of a C# application is located in the file SolutionInfo.cs. It would be a nice feature if AI could optionally check (during build) if this version equals the version as defined within the AI project.

Suggestion -2-
Show the Upgrade Code on the viewer window in Visual Studio. The value of the Upgrade Code is vital when creating a new version of your application. When you recreate an installer project file (e.g. using a new version of a template) you have to make sure the Upgrade Code stays identical to the previous version of the application.

Suggestion -3-
Remove the edit functionality from the viewer window in Visual Studio. The viewer lacks essential functionality to be a useful editor. It is confusing and error prone to offer edit functionality in this viewer window.

Regards,

Bart
