Bootstrapper for Measurement Studio Components and ClickOnce

[Jürgen Cramer]

I need to build an application that uses Measurement Studio components. This application has to be distributed by ClickOnce.

Since Measurement Studio doesn't suppurt ClickOnce at this moment, I have read that there is a possibility to build a bootstrapper with the Measurement Studio compnents. Can someone give me an example how to manage this?

Hi Jürgen,

unfortunately ClickOnce cannot install in to GAC making it impossible to deploy Meas Studio components with clickonce.

Dear Marco,

you should have read my post more precise.

The following is mentioned there and I want to know how to build a bootstrapper for the measurement studio dlls.

As a workaround, If you need to use ClickOnce, you can create an additional bootstrap installer using Windows Installer 2.0 for your end-users to use to install the necessary libraries to the GAC.

Thanks!

Absolutely right Jürgen, I´m way too busy today... I think someone stopped me half way reading your post 🙂

Alright, I´ll look what I can do for you and keep you posted.

Hi Juergen,

I would like to point you to some MS resources discussing building boostrapper installers with any msi-packs. I cannot see we have implemented/tested this, so unfortunately I cannot provide you with

examples or documentation from NI.

Has anyone ever successfully created a custom prerequisite bootstrapper that installs the NI merge modules for clickonce deployment?

Thanks,
