Hello,

I have web application. Now I want to setup this web application to enduser. As of now we are setup our web application by manually. Now we are trying to setup by setup installer.

So, in this installer should ask the folder selection to save the web application, IIS authentication pernission and Database configure (like data source, database name , userid and password). Once all input given by user website should be create automatically and IIS settings properties also should be done inbuit in. And based on database configure (datasource, database, userid and password) inputs web.config file also should be modify according by user inputs.

(If custom action also welcome. Or by default installer custom action also ok for it)

Hello,

That is what i am saying that you have to create an installer and when installation starts you need to create a custom action which is noting but a win application which will do all the things you said in Question. And but obviouly you need to write code in custom action to do all things. Another alternative is use "Advanced Installer (advancedinstaller.com)" tool. This will do all the things in minutes if you know how to use it
