hi friend I have downloaded the bootstrapper package from Microsoft site and installed it.
Now I need to use it in deploying a WinForms application which will install the .net framework first as a prerequisite.
According to MSDN I should;
Right click on project deployment in solution explorer;
Click on properties;
Click on bootstrapper tab
And set it to none
But I do not see any project deployment option or bootstrapper tab in any property.
How may I set it to none so that It will install .net framework first then my application on client pc.
I need to install .net framework 2.0 and sql express r2 2k8 on client pc.
I have created a bootstraper package & built successfully on my pc by selecting "install from same location as my application" in prerequistes and I am using smo to create database on client pc by gaining database instance name.
DataTable dataTable = SmoApplication.EnumAvailableSqlServers(true);
constr2 = dataTable.Rows[1].ItemArray.GetValue(0).ToString();
But it is not installing sql express first it directly installs my application it opens properly but when it runs, I get an SQL-related exception.
Thanks in advance for your help.
