ClickOnce Prerequisite

[Donald Byrd]

I saw in this thread:

http://64.78.18.34/Support/Forums/message.aspx?&MessageID=39739&TabID=

that you had created a ClickOnce Prerequisite MSI for version 4.2.0.37. Is that something you intend to keep up to date (e.g. 4.3)? Also, do you have any samples of how this could be used with MSBuild proj files (not using the VS2k5 Project Publish GUI)?

RE the MSBuild question. What I really wish is that I could include a Bootstrapper file similiar to this:



Crystal Reports for .NET


.NET Framework 2.0 Beta


Microsoft Data Access Components 2.8



Which gets fed into the GenerateBootstrapper task as such:

Hi Don,

Sorry for the delay in responding.

I am working on a ClickOnce sample using MSBuild and will update you in two days.

Hi Don,

The Syncfusion one touch install prerequisite can be used with MSBuild project files by including it in the BootStrapperItems. Please find attached the file bootstrp.xml, when run using msbuild, generates the setup and copies the package files from the location specified at the Path variable to the location specified at the OutputPath variable.

bootstrp.zip

Kindly let me know if this helps you.

Thanks and Regards,

Thank you for the reply.

I'm not clear on what the bootstraper configuration you provided is doing. Will setup.exe (the generated bootstrapper) now copy syncfusion dll's to the client machine so I don't need to include them in my application's manifest? The only comparison I have to go on is the Crystal Reports bootstraper which executes an msi that installs the redist dll's.

Hi Don,

The bootstrapper configuration includes the ClickOnce Prerequisite created by us. You need to copy the syncfusion dll's to your application manifest. The setup exe will run the Syncfusion ClickOnce Prerequisite which grants full trust for the Syncfusion dll's alone and executes other specified bootstrapperitems and installs the application that need to deploy in the Client Machine.

You can download the source of Prerequisite MSI from the following link:
Source.zip

and the Setup project from the following link:
Setup1.zip

Please let me know if this helps you.

Thanks for the reply. However, the second link (Setup1 / Setup1_c388057a.zip) doesn't work for me :(

Hi Don,

I regret for the inconvenience caused. Please download the Setup project from the following link:

Please let me know if this helps you.

Hi,

Can this setup be used by Essential Studio version: 4.4.0.51 without any modification?

Hi,

I regret for the delay in getting back to you on this issue.

You can use the project and prepare a new installer with any version of Syncfusion assemblies. So, for any change in Syncfusion version, you need to include the new set of assemblies.

Please try this and let me know if this helps.
