You can't even do half the stuff you could do with the old style VS installer projects and they were pretty neanderthal (ISTR a problem where it would always evaluate the program files directory as c:\program files even if it was on d:\ & you had to edit the setting via Orca once the installer was built).
Looks like I'm going to have to roll up my sleeves and learn Wix....

InstallShield LE in VS 2012 - How to get relative paths to dependencies
Putting together an installer for a windows service & have to use the built in InstallShield LE that comes with VS (a steaming pile of cack if I've ever seen one...).
I just can't work out how to include dependencies - I get the config file & exe included ok by selecting the primary output of the project but the only way I can see to add another dll is to navigate to it & add it. This then leaves you with a hard coded path which is no good.
I'm sure there's an easy way around this but I'll be buggered if I can find it.Tags: None
