Packaged Deployment of Message Queuing Components...

[Jason Richmeier]

Is there a way to create a setup package (setup and deployment project in
Visual Studio 2005) that installs the Windows Message Queuing components as a
prerequisite or is this something that has to be configured manually?

It seems like I read something about this around a week or so ago but
perhaps I am dreaming things up. If I did read such a thing, it seems like I
made a mental note about needing the information later but now I cannot find
it.

Thank you,

Jason Richmeier

Hi Jason,

Since Windows Message Queuing component is not a stand-alone development
redistributable s, the VS2005 could not package it as a prerequisite to a
setup project.

I suggest you can use a CA script to check the installation machine's Win32
services (query the WMI Win32_Service class for MSMQ instance), add a
property as its result. Then check that property in your installation
package's launch condition. Prompt the user to install the Windows Message
Queuing component if that corresponding Win32 Service is absent in his/her
machine.

I hope the above information helps, if you have any questions or concerns,
please do not hesitate to let me know. I am standing by to help you.

Thanks!

Best regards,
