I have inherited a VB6/Access application that we have developed and sold for many years. We're going to SQL Server 2005 Express Edition and .Net. The application can be multi-user. Currently the setup is simple for the customer -- Navigate to the folder to create the database on first launch; second user browses to the same file. ...
Is there any way to force an update of software using RunOnce, without having an administrator log in, if there is a service running as Adminstrator running in the background? EDIT: The main thing I want to be able to do is Run when the RunOnce does, I.E. before Explorer starts. I need to be able to install things, without booting into...
We've got a .net CMS running on IIS 6 which uses xslt templates. It seems to be running xpath 1.0 (as we can't use any 2.0 functionality). How do we go about installing or specifying that IIS should use xpath 2.0? Is it installed per server, or can we specify which version to use on a per-application pool or per-site basis? Thanks a lo...

I'm looking for a good template on server-side installation of software for a project I'm working on. The client-side is pretty straight-forward. The server-side installation is a little trickier.

I didn't find an explicit answer to this question in the WiX Documentation (or Google, for that matter). Of course I could just write the appropriate registry keys in HKCR, but it makes me feel dirty and I'd expect this to be a standard task which should have a nice default solution. For bonus points, I'd like to know how to make it "sa...

Things like ExtUtils::MakeMaker and Module::Build are very well suited for modules, but require some additional work for Web Apps. Ideally it would be nice to be able to do the following after checking out the source from the re...

How can I determine if the install is running in upgrade mode vs. first time install mode? I'm using Wise Installer, but I don't think that matters. I'm assuming that Windows Installer has a proper...
