Building Custom Setup Application

[Sheshadrinath R]

Hello,
I am preparing a Setup Project. I want to give some customised options
like installing only 'Server Tools' or 'Client Tools' etc. I am also
interested in giving customised messages to the user, while installing. I
want to make this Setup more interactive. How can I do this in .NET Setup &
Deployment Project??
Thanks in
advance.

I doubt that you will do that easily using VS deployment project.

You can try to use WiX to built what you want.

Hi

Looks like the following might help you do some of what you're looking
for - whether it helps you achieve everything you want I don't know:

If you look about half way down the article you'll see something in
there about adding custom options (whether to install samples in there
instance).

Hope that helps
