custom windows installer

sunder.tinwar asked:

Open original thread
Hi Guys,

I have created an application which is an window service which has to run under context of domain administrator account and take some server settings etc stuff.

Now I need to install it on client machine, obviously I can not do it using normal deployment project MSI because it involved custom dialog and user input while installation.

How can I do this?

Now Is there any 3rd party framework which really allow me to create custom dialog and write code which will execute at runtime?

If I have to do it manually? How I will incorporate my custom installer files and my windows server application files into a single MSI.

This is how I want to have my installation process-

1) Welcome Screen
2) System Checks
3) EULA
4) Server settings as per product licensing, its a radio selection by user.
5) Server settings based on last selection.
6) my window server settings which will make a rest call and update server.
7) accepting domain user account credentials.
8) Now installations starts.
9) Redirection to cloud portal with finish message based on selection.

Please suggest

Thanks in advance
