Someone can tell me the followings about V.S. Installer 1.1?

(1) Can I have a localized language for the V.S.I. dialogs?
(2) How can I manage a serial number with V.S.I.?
(3) I cannot found any documentation about how to use this software!
    The one included in MSDN is _absolutely_ incomplete!

Thanx all!

see you

Hi Zanna,

To my knowledge, the only way to do such things with Visual Studio Installer
is through commercial third-party products like Wise for Windows Installer
(see http://www.wisesolutions.com), but they charge big money for that. And
you'll have to buy a separate language pack (again big money).

However, there's another solution: switch to Inno Setup (see
http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.htm), a completely free yet very
professional and powerful tool for creating your own setups. It has good,
complete documentation, a newsgroup and you can use any language you want.
There's also a version of Inno Setup that uses Pascal Scripting, which you
can use to customize your setup completely, e.g. by adding a dialog that
asks the user for a serial number. This version is called My Inno Setup
Extensions (see http://www.wintax.nl/isx) and has its own newsgroup.

Inno Setup and My Inno Setup Extensions are two completely free products. I
switchted to Inno Setup some time ago and I'm using it for all my VB
applications. I wouldn't want to go back to the P&D Wizard or even VSI! Give
it a try!

A very happy Inno Setup user,
Captain Proton
