MSI deployment project for a solution
|
|
|
| Hi,
My BTS solution contains several BTS projects. The projects are independent
of each other. Now I have added a BTSInstaller deployment project in the same
solution in order to create a msi file. My question is: can I create a msi
file for each of these projects seperately or do I have to create one msi
file for the entire solution? If creating separate msi files for each project
is possible could you please give a step-by-step instruction to how to do it?
Thanx in advance!

| Hi Theo.
To create a seperate MSI for each projcet you could do this.
For each project.
Crete a new empty solution (MyProjectSetupSolution)
Use Add Existing Project, and add the project you want to create the MSI for.
Add the BizTalk installer project in the normal way and modify it for your
project.
Build the setup.
This may be a good way to go, as it allows you to develop and test in one
solution, without building all the setup projects.
Regards,
Alan

| Hi Theo,
I encountered the same situation, instead of using the BTSInstaller, I used
the scripts to deploy the orchestration and binding files, it worked and it
is very easy. Creating the solution for each project and seperate BTS
installer for each solution will be cumbersome and time consuming. You will
find lot of script samples in SDK of BTS 2004, File Adapter's and Submit
Direct Adapter's Setup.bat will be a good example for you. Worth Trying.
