I need one registry entry that holds the App path, so I added it on the registry settings section.Īnother requirement is I need to run another self-extracting exe after the installation. In custom action I set the setup.exe to run with '-s install.log' arguments. So I decided to create an msi package using visual studio 2008 and added the above created install package (using package and deployment wizard). And the application runs well after installation. When I run it from command prompt like this 'setup.exe -s install.log' it installed the application without prompts, works well. Then compiled setup.exe file and copied/overwrote it with the setup.exe on the install package created earlier. I created a package using package and deployment wizard, then opened the source code of vb pdw project, commented all the message boxes, assigned default values where required. When I run the msi, it intalls all the files without prompts but the application doesn't run. Added all the vbd files manually to the project, compiled it. I created an msi project using visual studio installer and removed all the user interfaces. I have a vb6 activex document project and I need to create an msi package (thats what is the requirement since it has to be deployed thru active directory) that runs without any user interface and user intervention.
