Hi Everyone,
I am quite new to Windows Installers, i faced some problems, but finally accomplished what i wanted. One important question remains for me. I can't figure out where i can download or how to create or update bootstrapper packages.
My application needed SQL server compact 3.5 and the bootstrapper package was installed on my hard disk by VS2008. What i wanted was SQL server compact 3.5 SP2 and i also needed an offline installation. I searched a lot on the internet, but could net figure out how to upgrade my SQLCE bootstrapper package to SP2, moreover i could not figure out where to download, create or upgrade these bootstrapper packages like e.g. .Net Framework myself.
I do know how to use Bootstrapper Manifest Generator in case i need to create a bootstrapper package, but to use BMG to create Microsoft packages i think i a short on information (i could not find too musch about this as well) to create correct package and product XMLs.
Maybe i am just silly, but if someone could explain me in what way i can update or upgrade my offline bootstrapper packages in ht Microsoft SDK folder, i will be grateful. It will save me a lot of misery next time.
Thanks a lot in advance!
Svatja
P.S. I obtained the SQLCE SP2 package by downloading and installing VS2010 express on my Vista test PC.
