Chapter 9, Lesson 2: Creating an Installer.

• Setup and Deployment project types do not cover all scenarios - then create custom installer, using Installer class.
• Such custom insallers can then be used as part of S&D proj., or installed ~ InstallUtil.exe

Using Base Installer

• 1) derive class from base Installer.
• 2) Override Install, Comit, Rollback, Uninstall mthds.
• 3) Add RunInstallerAttribute to derived class, and set runInstaller param to true.
• 4) Put derived class in assm with app to install.
• 5) Invoke installers - i) InstallUtil.exe, ii) AssemblyInstaller/ComponentInstaller for programtic equiv.
• 6) InstallEventHandler delegate - to facilitate Commit - wire-up Committing, Committed events in constructor.
• 7) Installers property - ret. an instance of InstallerCollection. Can add mult. installers to a single assm. - mult. installers that do mult. things.
