Dear Friends,

If  i am ignorant please ignore that and let me know, can i create setup for my windows application using telerik controls(i.e. replacing "Next" button with a telerik button)..? are you providing any strategy to make that possible..?

i know we have to write bootstrpper to modify screens of set up project in vs2008 but i want to clarify whether you are providing any way to achieve that.

any suggestion may help me a lot.

Thanks,
Regards,
Ravi

Hi Ravi Prakash,

Thank you for writing. Yes, you can create a new Bootstrap with our controls. In this case you should implement all Bootstrap actions manually (like extract and launch the MSI, check for prerequisite) and do IL merge of our dlls. Don't hesitate to contact us if you have other questions.

Hi Ravi Prakash,

Thank you for getting back to me. I cannot provide the sample bootstrap application because this is definitely out of our development scope, but I will try to give some hints how bootstrap works.

First, what Bootstrap does. During installation, the bootstrap loader performs the following actions: It checks the target system Windows Installer version and compares it to the minimum required version (here you can put User Interface with our controls), after that if the installation package includes an MSI redistributable for the the targeted platform, extracts the redistributable to a temporary file, otherwise the installation package includes a download URL for the target platform, asks the user for permissions to download the redistributable and store it in a temporary file. Then, extract the embedded .msi package and run Windows Installer with the package. All command line options must be passed to the Windows Installer executable MsiExec.exe

You can read more about setting up an MS Bootstraper here.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have other questions.

Kind regards,
Peter
