prerequisites

I am creating a clickonce installer for my wpf application from within Visual Studio 2013 Community edition. This application uses a localdb. It works fine on the target machines if I manually install sqlserver express 2014 LocalDB. But I would like to include the installer for SQL Server Express 2014 LocalDB with my clickonce deployment. When I open the prerequisites dialog, however, only SQL Server 2012 Express LocalDB is available (see image). I tried selecting '2012, but it is not compatible with the mdf file my installer drops into the data folder. The question is: How do I include the

I need to investigate the installation of a product that consists out of several setup.exe files, MSI installers and related prerequisites. My thoughts are; I perform the installation manually and another piece of software monitors and logs what is installed and when it is installed. So I can figure out the sequence the software is installed so I can package it. Deployment / Installation : The better way to do this would be to install the MSI files in the correct sequence once you have extracted them all from the setup.exe files. You can then install all required components via a distribution

How can the setup files and prerequisite files from a vs2010 setup project be merged together? ..in my release directory there are 3 files: setup.exe Setup1.msi DotNetFX40Client/dotNetFx40_Client_x86_x64.exe and I need these files to be in one simple setup file. I tried using IExpress tool from windows but it doesn't work because "dotNetFx40_Client_x86_x64.exe" is inside a directory, and the tool does not support it. Is there any way to make setup.exe look for the .net framework prerequisite in the root folder so I can use the IExpress tool??And if not, is there any other way to merge these

I published a ClickOnce application from Visual Studio 2012, and selected the .NET 4.0 runtime and Microsoft Report Viewer 2012 as prerequisites. I also selected to download the prerequisites from the vendor's website. When I try to install the application on a client PC, I receive the following error: Setup has detected that the file 'C:\Users\MyUsername\AppData\Local\Temp\VSD537C.tmp\DotNetFX40\dotNetFx40_Full_setup.exe' has changed since it was initially published. The log provides no additional details. If I manually install the .NET runtime, then I receive the same error for the report

I want to add new prerequisites to visual studio 2015 but can not find out the solution: As you can see, the visual studio 2015 lack of Prerequisites Visual C++ 2010 Runtime Library (x86) and Windows Installer 3.1. I'm using windows 8.1 so i can not install the old version of Visual C++ Runtime Library (x86) and Windows Installer. Adrian C. I've run in the same problem. You should follow the steps for adding Bootstrapper packages into your Visual Studio 2015 folder. I'll explain the step used by me to add Microsoft C++ 2013 x86 (the steps in your case would be similar). First navigate to C:

I've recently installed vs2012 and I've updated my ClickOnce application. To be more precise, the first time I've opened my C++ project (on which depends my primary c# project) I've not updated it and everything worked fine. VS 2012 was still able to see the Visual C++ 2010 prerequisite. Later on I've updated my project by changing the Platform Toolset to "Visual Studio 2012 (v110)" under Properties->Configuration Properties->General . In the meantime I've installed even other software and now I discovered that I'm no more able to add the Visual C++ prerequisite to my project for the ClickOnce
