SetupBuilder Tips and Tricks, How-To, and Beyond [July 03, 2007]
All,
We are in the planning phase of the "SetupBuilder Tips and Tricks, How-To,
and Beyond" papers/FAQs and new examples for the project Examples package.
- What topics would you like to see discussed in the papers/FAQs?
- What source code project examples would you like to see?
Thanks,
Friedrich

I'd like to see an example install that is a complete install with a server
and workstation install all in one... I'm in need of one now! :) Also maybe
a document that explains which features are in which examples.

Hi Lisa,
Something like the following?
- Server Install installs all files.
- Client Install installs shortcuts only
Documentation explaining which features are in which example is a great
idea.
Thanks,
Friedrich

Friedrich,
These probably exist in some fashion, but topics like these would good (in no
particular order) and may even overlap a little:
-- Installing to Vista machines
-- Code signing
-- Dual installs, Vista vs. non-Vista.
-- Installing and launching a service on a server
-- Live updates from an app (like you do with SetupBuilder). Step-by-step
details needed.
-- Discussion on how and why you would use static vs. dynamic scans.
-- Registry uses, when to use them and which keys one should not use. Better
than INI? Such uses would be things like time out dates, number of uses of an
app, etc. There may be others (I'm sure there are <g>).

Couple more:
-- Installing an SQL application. MSSQL would be a good model to use and maybe
one of the other ones. For example, what if MSSQL is not installed? MS Express?
Execute scripts to create a new database and so forth?
-- Installing .NET applications. Framework install too?

IMHO there is a need for an example of an upgrade patch.

Few months back, I think, we discussed how to create web updater that
could update multiple installs, such as for example our products, with
just one executable web updater. I would really appreciate that
documented somewhere as I seem to have lost it and I can't find it
again:( I LOVE the web update! It has saved me so much time and
effort in the past 2 years since I implemented it in my client
project. Simple, sweet and works every single time!:)
