Setup Project Bootstrap questions/issues

Question

Dear experts,

I hope this is the right place for my question if not please let me know.

I’m creating a setup with the visual studio setup project all works but there is one small problem the auto detected dependencies are not all there so in need to include a custom prerequisite.

The custom prerequisite has to install two elements of the sql server feature pack http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=ceb4346f-657f-4d28-83f5-aae0c5c83d52&displaylang=en

-SQLSysClrTypes.msi

-SharedManagementObjects.msi (to install this the SQLSysClrTypes.msi is a prerequisite)

I found how to make a custom bootstrap but how can I determine the following

-          The download url so both will be downloaded like de dotnet fx

-          How can I determine the  values for the xml like

-          <Name>

-          <HomeSite>

-          <PublicKey>

-          < EstimatedInstalledBytes >

-          < EstimatedInstallSeconds >

-          < EstimatedTempBytes >

Any help would be appreciated.

Kind Regards,

Peter

Hi Peter,

The download url so both will be downloaded like de dotnet fx

SQLSysClrTypes.msi x86: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=123373

SQLSysClrTypes.msi x64: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=188392&clcid=0x409

SharedManagementObjects.msi x86: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=188438&clcid=0x409

SharedManagementObjects.msi x64: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=188439&clcid=0x409

<Name>

You can use the Product Name of the prerequisite. For example "Microsoft SQL Server System CLR Types" for SQLSysClrTypes.msi. Launch the installer to see the product name in the installation wizard.

<HomeSite>

The package URL (the ones I wrote above).

<PublicKey>

This is generated automatically by the bootstrapper manifest generator.

<EstimatedInstallBytes>
<EstimatedInstallSeconds>
<EstimatedTempBytes>

These are optional. You can estimate some values for them if you really want to.

You do not need to setting those nodes value manually, you just need to do is using the bootstrapper manifest generator tool.

And I have answered such question in the following thread, so you can ref my posts in this thread:
