    hi!

    is there a way to do something specifically on the first run only (like create a new table in sql)? or is it more advisable to always check if the created table exists and if not create it?

     

    thanks!

    Hi

     

    you check if the app has already run via a number of ways..

    - set a variable in the registry

    - set a variable in a config file

    - etc

     

    however, creating tables in sql and so on is probably something you would better do via custom actions while installing your application:

    Hope this helps you out
