Hi, I'm more used to writing software than creating installation scripts but I've been charged with the task for a client. They're writing the software themselves in this case, a .Net app.
I have created the installation within one msi using the evaluation (at the moment) version of Wise for .Net and that's not been a problem. The problem is the software build is automated to be retrieved from VSS and then built to a specific folder based on the VSS label and the requirement is that a user (probably a tester) needs to create the installations and therefore needs to click on one setup (or its fine if they open the WSI project also) and choose which version of the software they'd like to create an install for. Rather than having to get a developer to setup a new install for each version.
So I think I need my wsi file to change to package any version that the client end user (somehow) specifies, I've only been able to build a new wsi for each release and I can't find anyway to vary where the wsi picks the files up from and not even sure if this is possible. Currently I have to copy the latest label built from VSS to the folder locations set in my WSI to reuse (not what the client wants though
).
Any thoughts or knowledge on this would be appreciated, thanks.
