Following advice from his newsletter i was looking around to find a how to guide to create a bootstrapper to create a combined installer for my application and the .net framework. The suggestion also stated to use MSbuild as the "less pain" choice to do so.
Ok, so I understand that MSBuild is the main builder for all .net applications, so I suppose I should be able to create a bootstrapper from Sharpdevelop, without installing anything else. I opened the Mygame.wixproj, featuring the installer for my app, and this is what i have added: <Project DefaultTargets="BuildAll" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003";> ... <Target Name="Bootstrapper"> <GenerateBootstrapper ApplicationFile="MyGame.msi" ApplicationName="My Application" BootstrapperItems="@(BootstrapperFile)" OutputPath="$(Root)\MyApplication\" ComponentsLocation="HomeSite" Culture="en" /> </Target> <ItemGroup> <BootstrapperFile Include="Microsoft.Net.Framework.2.0"> <ProductName>Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0</ProductName> </BootstrapperFile> .... </ItemGroup> </Project> Ok, I know that i merely did a copy paste, and i also know that i'm missing something as the project compiles straight without caring for the missing infos, with the output .msi file being less than a few MB. Any help will be greatly appreciated. _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail: posta elettronica con funzioni avanzate e gratuita, con la protezione Microsoft. https://signup.live.com/signup.aspx?id=60969 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SOLARIS 10 is the OS for Data Centers - provides features such as DTrace, Predictive Self Healing and Award Winning ZFS.
