Question Run an exe or msi added to resources?

[Vermiculus]

I've tried to do this, but I just can't seem to access it from the My.Resources class. I have other resources such as images and text files, but this exe's and msi's seemed to be stripped out.

Any suggestions?

Created a setup project, but now what?

I created a setup project and tried to create a custom action to run the msi that installs the compact framework, but the Add File thing doesn't recognize it.

Root problem Resolved, but still curious

I've successfully created my first fully functional setup! huzzah!

but I'm still curious as to why resources doen't recoginze exe's or msi's

One way to do it is to have the MSI resource be outputted to the same dir as the exe file, then in your app use the Application.StartupPath to get the root folder to run the MSI file.
