Question Deplyment with SQl and Folders

[pedro_cesar]

Hello all, this is my first post, so please guide me if any mistake.

I have to deploy some server-side configurations to support a client application. This configuration actually doesn't have to do more than copy a specific folder to a %programfiles% location and run SQL scripts.

How can I do that using a setup project in VS 2003?

Thanks for the quick response, I'll get into it and post back any questions.

The site you gave me contains a lot of usefull information. I have been cheking it out and found some other things I needed.

I now come with a new issue, I have 2 sql scripts within a folder in a Windows Form Applicaction (inside the same solution as the setup project) and I need to read their content to execute them. How can I access those files?

If I understand you need to add a custom action, follow the link from same page in "related sections" to "custom action management".

Thank you very much for your help, I'm happy to inform that I have completed the task.

I now have another issue, but, although deployment-related, has nothing to do with this post, so I'm going to look around for it and then post if I can't find it.

What I need is to implement a keyd-installation (the user has to type in a key/serial) for the setup project to install. Any links?
