How is the setup of a program created?

I want to create a setup for my own program. Is it possible to create the setup for any program including the window and gui based 开发者_如何学Pythonprogram? I want to know how the setup of a program is created in C#.

You could use a Setup And Deployment project in Visual Studio.

All a setup utility fundamentally does is copy files to some location.

That is not say that this is all they do. Most setup utilities will do much more besides, including:

• registering COM components;
• registering assemblies in the GAC;
• writing registry keys;

and so on. The Setup and Deployment project in visual studio is one solution. Another is Wix, which uses xml configuration files to produce an .msi installer, and InnoSetup, which produces an .exe executable setup.

Can you give any more details about your requirements?
