Not really, I'm afraid, although I do appreciate the effort. My problem is that I've got multiple dependencies that I need to make sure are installed, and I'm pretty much stuck doing it the "dumb" way by kicking the installers off as custom actions during the InstallUISequence. I know that's the wrong thing to do and I want to do it the right way, but I don't seem to have any alternatives to work with.
I was looking into the Visual Studio 2005 generic bootstrapper, but it does not have a command-line option for silencing the dialog that it pops up which asks if you want to install the dependencies. Neither does an open-source alternative... And I don't have time to grok the .NET sample setup.exe code and write a custom bootstrapper based on that. *sigh* I was really hoping someone knew of an alternative that would allow silent installation (or would at least not ask the user for input)... -- Eric Fesh Customer Support Engineer/Software Test Engineer Verari Systems Software, Inc. 110 12th Street North, Suite D103 Birmingham, AL 35203 Phone +1-205-397-3141 ext. 3149 Fax +1-205-397-3142 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.verarisoft.com/ The information contained in this communication may be confidential and is intended only for the use of the recipient(s) named above.
