I have created an installer project in VS2008 and need to supply a settings/parameters file along with the .msi/exe file; is this possible? The settingsfile will basically contain some information that is needed in the configuration and our different clients can control the settingsfile.

I've posted some code we use to insert an updated config file to an existing MSI before our customers deploy across the network. Code at Simplest solution to replace a tiny file inside an MSI?

  • Thanx, this is the most elegant solution I have seen for this challenge. Will use this in future projects. What we ended up with was just shipping with a .bat and .xml file, inputting the path for the .xml file when running the install. – noocyte Apr 27 '10 at 08:43
  • Happy to help! That question has been updated a few times (and will continue to be) as I've found easier/better/more elegant ways to do things. – saschabeaumont Apr 28 '10 at 05:14
