Hi William,

Also, besides Larry's comment, I always install all my assemblies in the same folder as the application instead of using the GAC or any other common folders, etc.

Having all assemblies in the same folder as the application will allow you to test as suggested by Larry.  Also it is good to have a clean virtual machine to do your setup test.

It looks like you're missing MicroFour Strataframe UI.dll, Inherited UI.dll is the DevExpress control wrapper. For testing I'd first install the application on the target workstation using the file copy method to make sure I have everything required to run the application. Once everything was working I'd go back and create an MSI.

Hello,

I've customized the SampleDataInstallerClass solution and now need to build a Setup.exe for distribution.

I've created an InstallShield basic MSI project and have included the following:

SQLSMOMergeModule.msm (not sure what files are included and where they end up)

In the [CommonFiles]\MicroFour\StrataFrame\ folder I'm including these files:

MicroFour StrataFrame Base.dll

MicroFour StrataFrame Business.dll

MicroFour StrataFrame DBEngine.dll

MicroFour StrataFrame UI.dll

[update] I mistakenly listed the inherited UI DLL instead of the base UI

When I install these via the compiled Setup.exe, the files end up on the target workstation, but the SampleDataInstallerClass EXE does not run. When I launch it, I see the EXE in task manager for a second or two, then it goes away.

What I'm missing?

Thanks.

Bill
