    - set default printer Hi, I have a problem to set default printer programatically using c#. My codes works well in windows2003,but it fails in windows2000. My codes is just listed below: System.Management.ManagementObjectSearcher query; ManagementObjectCollection queryCollection; string classname = "SELECT * FROM Win32_Printer"; query = new ManagementObjectSearcher(classname); if (oldPrinter != myPrinter) { queryCollection = query.Get(); foreach (ManagementObject mo in queryCollection) { if (string.Compare(mo["Name"].ToString(), myPrinter, true) == 0) { mo.InvokeMethod("SetDefaultPrinter", null); break; } } } Can anyone help me? Thank you in advance! Tag: dotnet runtime component Tag: 116215

    - a silly question is it possible to compile some test code as legacy application without dotnet frame work? how? I don't have any non dotnet compiler on my pc. I want to test my dotnet com assembly for interop with an legacy application that works through com interface. and I want to verify that I got my interop code works correctly. right now the legacy application gave me a rather useless message: Error calling external object function etstor0 at .... I could call other functions that passes results as scalar but am having trouble with arrays Tag: dotnet runtime component Tag: 116209

    - ClickOnce Deployment I have developed a program and published it using clickonce. I can run the program on my computer just fine. But when I deploy using ClickOnce it will not run. I copies the files over but refuses to run. I checked permissions and set the program to full trust windows authentication. I logged on as admin on another computer run the clickonce update and it failed to run. I ran it on another machine with VS 2005 and got the following error: An exception 'System.InvalidOperationException' has occured in DefaultDomain. I am using Oracle as the back end and the client did have oracle set up on the machine. Any suggestions? John Wright Tag: dotnet runtime component Tag: 116208

    - Installing a Windows Service I have created a windows service, and can happily install it and run it, but this involves manually running the InstallUtil command line tool for each installation.

    - PropertyInfo.GetValues(...) with Generics / Reflection I am trying to use reflection to get the value of a property using Generics. A sample property is as follows: /// <summary> /// Gets the collection of links rendered at the bottom of the header. /// </summary> /// <value>The links collection.</value> [DefaultValue((string)null)] [PersistenceMode(PersistenceMode.InnerProperty)] [Editor("System.Web.UI.Design.WebControls.ListItemsCollectionEditor,System.Design, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a", typeof(UITypeEditor))] [Category("Appearance")] [Bindable(true)] [ContainsLocalisationKeys(true)] public List<CompanyNameHyperLink> Links { get { return m_links; } } I am reflecting on this property to do some automatic localisation, using a few attributes, etc. I don't seem to be able to get .GetValue working with properties that use an index (Collections, etc.) or Generics, such as the property above. Can someone give me a line of code to get, for example List<CompanyNameHyperLink> from the propertyInfo.GetValue() method? For example (though this won't work): PropertyInfo propertyInfo = myReflectedProperty; // Properly defined elsewhere List<CompanyNameHyperLink> = (List<CompanyNameHyperLink>)propertyInfo.GetValue(this, null); I know that the propertyInfo is a List<> and I know it's attributes (CompanyNameHyperLink) ... it's just the last little piece of pulling the property values out of the PropertyInfo object. Any help would be appreciated, since I've spent hours on this to no avail, Christophe Tag: dotnet runtime component Tag: 116197

    - VB6 App Referencing VB.NET DLL Debug Nightmare HI All, I have a VB6 App and a VB.NET DLL. The VB.NET DLL Is used to call a web service. When I compile the app is works fine but when I try to debug the VB6 Code I get this error message: "File or assembly name GetGantnerTxns, or one of its dependancies, was not found." GetGantnerTxns is the name of the VB.NET DLL This is making the debugging difficult as I have to use msgbox's and recompile. Its driving me nuts! Can anyone tell me if I can sort this out so I can debug properly? Thanks for any help Fred Tag: dotnet runtime component Tag: 116180

    - dotNet 1.1 compatibility with 2.0 I have a .Net 1.1 application that starts through internet explorer and uses webservice for data-retrieval. It is an application that runs for 3 years now (so it was first created with 1.0 framework and later compiled with 1.1). To get it running i had to add it to the trusted sites and set security settings of dotnet to full trust. It all worked fine, but now there is a problem with the 2.0 framework. It seems that when i run the application it no longer uses the 1.1 framework, but the 2.0 one, but this causes some SecurityExceptions. I'll post the error below. When i adjust security settings for 2.0 framework (set to full trust like i did with 1.1), the application will start, but there are still some securityerrors that come up in the program itself. Problem is that it is computer dependant, my old pc and our terminal server don't have the problem, my new pc and my clean win xp + sp2 on vmware do have the problem. second problem is that the .net 2.0 configuration is only available when vs2005 is installed, so on my vmware i can't even adjust the settings... need some help with this... here is the exception: ************** Exception Text

    - Convert RTF to PDF (C#) I got the following problem: an RTF is loaded and stored in memory in a form of a byte array. I need to convert it to a PDF without the necessety to store it on the disk (i.e. I need either byte array or a stream). I tried to use TX Text Control which works fine except that it does not convert the barcode that appears in RTF to the PDF correctly. TX Text Control support said that it is a serious issue and they are working on it. Meanwhile I need a solution. Most of the converters that I found were either applications of themselves, or tools that can be used from the code but require actual physical files. Could anyone please recommend a tool that can be used from C# and can convert an RTF to PDF without storing files on the disk. Thanks Tag: dotnet runtime component Tag: 116171

    - Partial classes not good OO design Does Microsoft even bother involving developers anymore in their process of developing new "features"? I've spent about four hours with VS2005 now and can't believe the list of problematic improvements I've generated in that short time. Then I run across this partial class feature. What a mind bending stupid idea. This isn't an object oriented concept at all - it's very much akin to using a preprocessor to insert code. The ability to "hide" code is pretty much covered by the OO model - it's called encapsulation. Hiding UI code is the reason given for this "innovation". What happened to patterns such as MVC? Even a UI helper class would be a better idea. UI code could have been placed in a generated class which is then included as a member in the developer's "business" logic class. At least there would be a clear separation of function with this approach. Splitting code for a single class into multiple files is such an obvious, bad, hack. It seems to me the last resort to solving a programming problem is to change the underlying language specification. What a horrible precedent to set. Microsoft language "architects" ought to be really ashamed of themselves for permitting this feature to be added to the .Net language syntax.

    - 2.0 Configuration. How do I abstract usage of WebConfigurationManager vs ConfigurationManager? Why did MSFT feel they had to separate the two? What if I am writing a class in an assembly that could be used by either an ASP.Net app or a Winforms app? I don't want to have each look for the data in different ways. I want to abstract that. Couldn't they have used a factory that returns an IConfigurationManager or something like that? Thanks CZ Tag: dotnet runtime component Tag: 116154

    - Serialize List of objects as XML Hello, I have a list of objects that I want to serialize as XML and save it as user setting. The objects are of type of the following class. [Serializable] public class SourceFolder { public SourceFolder(string path, bool controlled, bool includesSub) { this.path = path; this.controlled = controlled; this.includesSub = includesSub; } public string Path { get { return path; } set { path = value; } } public bool Controlled { get { return controlled; } set { controlled = value; } } public bool IncludesSub { get { return includesSub; } set { includesSub = value; } } private string path; private bool controlled; private bool includesSub; } In my settings object, I have a property of type List<SourceFolder> that I assign my object list before saving. Unfortunately, the only output in the file user.config is the following: <setting name="SourceFolders" serializeAs="Xml"> <value /> </setting> When I add the attribute SettingsSerializeAs(SettingsSerializeAs.Binary) to the settings property, it works, but the list is serialized binary what I do not want. Visual Studio 2005 help states that .NET framework is able to serialize lists of any object to XML stream. What am I doing wrong that it does not work for me? When I use List<string> instead of List<SourceFolder>, it works fine, but not with my class. Regards, Jens Tag: dotnet runtime component Tag: 116141

    - Binding HttpListener to a free port Hi, When providing the HttpListener with a list of 'prefixes' to respond to there doesn't appear to be an option for binding to an arbitrary freely available port, and if there is then there doesn't seem to be a mechanism for discovering that port by the calling code. I'm happy to be proven wrong here but given this situation, the obvious approach now would be to programatically query the OS for a list of used and/or available ports, and to pick one of the available ones. This may introduce the problem of a port being allocated in the time between querying the OS and binding to the port, but I can handle that exception and keep trying until a successful bind occurs (hopefully!). Am I going about this the right way? Is there an alternative to HttpListener? I suppose I could revert to using HttpListener and perhaps re-using the provided HTTP classes for handling the HTTP protocol?

    - TextRenderer problem Hi, I'm creating a control that overrides ListView and so I'm working on redrawing everything myself with some changes here and there... But I'm having a problem with drawing the text inside the rectangle on LargeIcon mode... I thought I'd finally discovered the solution with TextRenderer but this still doesn't give the correct results. Here's the code I'm trying to use (item is a ListViewItem) Rectangle text_rect = item.GetBounds(ItemBoundsPortion.Label); TextFormatFlags formatFlags = TextFormatFlags.WordBreak | TextFormatFlags.HorizontalCenter | TextFormatFlags.Top | TextFormatFlags.EndEllipsis; if (item.Text != null && item.Text.Length > 0) TextRenderer.DrawText(dc, item.Text, item.Font, text_rect, item.ForeColor, item.BackColor, formatFlags); The problem is that its still not exactly what the original ListView displays... ie I'm displaying: ___________ | some | | really long | original ListView displays: ___________ | some really | | long text | Surely it should fit inside the bounding box if its using the GDI draw method and I'm using the bounding box thats returned to me from the ListViewItem itself? Any ideas? thanks Kris Wragg Tag: dotnet runtime component Tag: 116124

    - Customization In Web Application All, Using VS 2005, C#.NET, SQL Server 2005, W2K3. We are developing a web application that would be shared by numerous customers for information management. Some of those customers want variations on the usual form layout. For example, we have a form where the user can enter their dependents information (parents, siblings, spouse, kids, etc.), but we know one of our customers wants to include additional information on that form that none of the other customers would use (company specific insurance coverage). Based on our experience with our C/S version of the product, we can expect to see many more requests like this. There are 3 ways to do this that I see. 1. Create a separate web application for that customer and host it on a different web server. 2. Add the custom fields to the single web application but hide the extras based on the customer using it. 3. Allow the customer to add the fields themselves and store them for just that customer. Pros and cons that I see. 1. Quick to implement, but costly in new infrastructure, and would end up difficult to maintain. 2. Still relatively quick to develop, and uses existing infrastructure, but would create complex forms. 3. Difficult to develop, but would use existing infrastructure and wouldn't need extra maintenance. Personally, I'd like to use 3. That is... Design the application so that each form includes standard fields, but a customer can add new labels, textboxes, drop-down combos, lists, etc., themselves and doing so doesn't require us to change any code or the database schema. While this would be a no-brainer in an C/S application, it gets a little more difficult in a web app since the only client they use is a browser. Any thoughts?

    - Graphics.PageUnit problem... I have to do some WYSIWIG rendering. Bacause I need exactly where is what and have the same output on the printer I decided to change my Page unit to Inch. As I was testing my first though was to draw read outline of some relevant rectangle. And here I had my 1st encouter with those infamouse Windows strangeness.... Even though I had set my line width to 0, GDI draw me 1 inch thick rectangle borders... What's that? How could I fix that? Below is a code sample: ======================= protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e) { base.OnPaint(e); e.Graphics.PageUnit = GraphicsUnit.Inch; using (Pen pen = new Pen(Color.Red, 0)) { pen.Width = 0; e.Graphics.DrawRectangle(Pens.Red, 0, 0, 8.5f, 11); e.Graphics.DrawRectangle(Pens.Red, 1.5f, 1.25f, 5.5f, 8.5f); } } Tag: dotnet runtime component Tag: 116106

    - Rewrite ... This post is mostly for discussion. Why rewrite in .NET? Just a general discussion not related to any specific details. I was just looking to see what reasons developers are looking to, to help decide whether they should rewrite their app in .NET. What are the trends being observed of Microsoft when it comes to .Net? How much longer will COM objects live on? How stable is the Framework? If the goal is to maintain a software package for the next 10 years, would that make a differnce on the decision? What if a rewrite would take approximately 2 years, would that affect when you decided to do a rewrite? Are their any security benefits? I am looking for opinions, but also links to facts that can help support your case. I'm hoping this can become a good discussion. Thanks Tag: dotnet runtime component Tag: 116103

    - ??? MethodInfo Props are Wrong (or Docs are Wrong) ??? Hi everyone, I hope you can comment on this -- I'm pretty darned sure that either some of the MethodInfo properties are wrong or the Microsoft documentation is wrong. Please have a look at the program below. It attempts to print out the accessibility (i.e., "visibility") of each method in the class. I've included the program along with its output. The Microsoft documentation for MethodInfo tells us that the IsAssembly property "Gets a value indicating whether this method can be called by other classes in the same assembly." Okay, great. Public methods can certainly be called from other classes in the same assembly, right? Not according to the program below. The output indicates a public method cannot be called from other classes within its assembly because the IsAssembly property is false. There are other inconsistencies in the output as well - for example, an internal method cannot be called from a subclass in the same assembly. Read the Microsoft documentation very carefully. You'll see that the IsPrivate and IsPublic properties refer to the accessibility of the member itself. For example, m.IsPublic indicates whether or not m is public. In contrast, IsFamily, IsAssembly, IsFamilyAndAssembly and IsFamilyOrAssembly indicate whether the method in question can be called from a method with that accessibility. For example, m.IsAssembly indicates whether m can "be called by other classes in the same assembly". This is distinctly different from saying that m has internal accessibility. So, certainly any public method can "be called by other classes in the same assembly", right? Not according to the output below. It's very inconsistent and the property values are inconsistent with what the documentation says they should be. I guess you can look at this as either the MethodInfo properties are wrong or the Microsoft documentation is wrong. I guess I'm just a stickler. --------------------- using System; using System.Reflection; class Program { private static void Main(string[] args) { Type t = typeof(Program); MemberInfo[] members = t.GetMembers(BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.DeclaredOnly); foreach (MemberInfo mi in members) { Console.WriteLine(mi); MethodInfo methodInfo = mi as MethodInfo; if (methodInfo != null) { Console.WriteLine(" Private: " + methodInfo.IsPrivate); Console.WriteLine(" Public: " + methodInfo.IsPublic); Console.WriteLine(" Assm: " + methodInfo.IsAssembly); Console.WriteLine(" Fam: " + methodInfo.IsFamily); Console.WriteLine(" Fam & Assm: " + methodInfo.IsFamilyAndAssembly); Console.WriteLine(" Fam | Assm: " + methodInfo.IsFamilyOrAssembly); } Console.WriteLine(); } } // main() protected void ProtMethod() {} internal void InternalMethod() {} public void PublicMethod() {} protected internal void ProtInternalMethod() {} } // Program() ------ OUTPUT ---------- Void ProtMethod() Private: False Public: False Assm: False Fam: True Fam & Assm: False Fam | Assm: False Void InternalMethod() Private: False Public: False Assm: True Fam: False Fam & Assm: False Fam | Assm: False Void PublicMethod() Private: False Public: True Assm: False Fam: False Fam & Assm: False Fam | Assm: False Void ProtInternalMethod() Private: False Public: False Assm: False Fam: False Fam & Assm: False Fam | Assm: True Void .ctor() Tag: dotnet runtime component Tag: 116099

    - Overridden GetProperties() of ExpandableObjectConverter not called! In a custom ExpandableObjectConverter I have overridden GetPropertiesSupported (always returns true) and GetProperties. The class to which this TypeConverter is applied has only public properties and it should be accessed via a PropertyGrid. However, GetProperties is never called! By overriding some more methods and setting breakpoints inside those overrides I have found out that all overrides are being called correctly, except for the one GetProperties. Trying to catch any first chance exceptions doesn't come up with any results, since there aren't any exceptions thrown. Thus the desired expanding and minimizing of the object's properties isn't possible. Any ideas how to make GetProperties being called? Thanks Tag: dotnet runtime component Tag: 116096

    - Script for building/debugging services I have found services debugging to be a big pain. One reason is because the play button in VS is worthless for this kind of application. So I wrote this scripts that will execute for an app whose name ends on Service, it will lookup the debug directory, Stop the service copy the executables and restart the service. Now there is a lot of room for improvement. But I thought I'd share and maybe someone out there will improve on it. It also executes when the app has just been built, so you only need to attach to the process instead of hitting the arrow. Or maybe I am missing something; and there is no need for this at all. To make this work you need to open the Macro editor on the menu it is: "Tools/Macros/Macro IDE ...". There you can edit the MyMacros template. Public Module EnvironmentEvents #Region "Automatically generated code, do not modify" Private Sub BuildEvents_OnBuildDone(ByVal Scope As EnvDTE.vsBuildScope, ByVal Action As EnvDTE.vsBuildAction) Handles BuildEvents.OnBuildDone Debug.main() End Sub End Module Public Module Debug Private fullexepath As String = "C:\Program Files\My company\My app" Sub main() Dim _project As EnvDTE.Project _project = DTE.Solution.Projects.Item(1) If _project.Properties.Item("Title").Value.ToString.EndsWith("Service") Then Dim _process As Diagnostics.Process _process = Diagnostics.Process.Start("C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe", "/c ""net stop TNAEventService""") _process.WaitForExit() Dim OutputPath As String OutputPath = _project.Properties.Item("LocalPath").Value.ToString() OutputPath += _project.ConfigurationManager.ActiveConfiguration.Properties.Item("OutputPath").Value For Each OutputPath In Directory.GetFiles(OutputPath) Dim fi As FileInfo = New FileInfo(OutputPath) Dim vFileStream As FileStream If File.Exists(fullexepath + "\" + fi.Name) Then If Not Directory.Exists(fullexepath + "\old") Then Directory.CreateDirectory(fullexepath + "\old") End If File.Move(fullexepath + "\" + fi.Name, fullexepath + "\old\" + fi.Name + "." + Now.ToString("yyyymmdd hhmm")) End If File.Copy(OutputPath, fullexepath + "\" + fi.Name) Next _process = Diagnostics.Process.Start("C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe", "/c ""net start TNAEventService""") _process.WaitForExit() End If End Sub End Module Tag: dotnet runtime component Tag: 116093

    - Effort/Time in migrating 1.1 to 2.0 Hi, wanted to know what people have experienced in terms of effort+time in migrating your apps to 2.0 from 1.1? Are there any case studies on msdn? I couldn't find any.. how well did it go with you all? days? weeks? months? we have a mid sized external app using mcms, a small asp.net app for internal use, a small console app, and a webservice.. we will migrate if it's a relatively small investment.. otherwise, we will stick with 1.1 for at least a year more as we have lots of integration projects coming up.. my idea is that upgrading now will be cheaper than doing the upgrade AFTER making the apps larger.. but that's me.. thank you Tag: dotnet runtime component Tag: 116086

    - .NET 2.0 MMC Config problems I have 2 windows 2000 Server and 1 windows 2003 Server machines used for IIS apps. All 3 have the .NET 2.0 Framework. On my local workstation I have a ".NET Framework 2.0 Configuration" MMC snap-in. One none of the above servers (and Im logged in as a member of the Administrators group) does that snap-in show or is there something similar in the Administration tools - although there is a 1.1 utility. I saw a posting to remove a registry key and then run aspnet_iis, but that didnt make a difference. And I need to access the GAC through the utility.

    - problem with COM Object Wrapper or with Remoting... which one? Hi, I have a web project in VS 2005 and I'm using a wrapper to work with a COM object. this object must work in a remoting environment. So we've done a simple console app to give us the access to the remote object. In our test web app, everything works fine... if we copy paste all the code from the test app to the real app so we can have exactly the same thing in each one, the real application raise an exception on the first call I do after the "new MyObject()" line. My first guess would be that the problem comes from the remoting, but I use exactly the same config file than the test app. The wrapper was in Framework 1.1, so I converted it to 2.0, I don't know if it can change something, but for now, it does not work. Does someone have an idea of what it would be? I mean, even with the same code and the same config file. Is there a setting or something like it that could cause the problem?

    - DateTime Ticks/Milliseconds Question (possibly Thread.Sleep () related - ?) Hi, Slightly dim question, possibly. I dunno. When i run the following c#: for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++) { System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine (DateTime.Now.Millisecond.ToString ()); System.Threading.Thread.Sleep (1); } I would expect the output to increment by at least 1 every line (since I am asking my thread to sleep for 1 millisecond). The output generated, however, looks like this: 627 409 409 409 424 424 440 440 440 456 456 456 456 (etc) surely this is impossible? I also noticed a similar thing when using Ticks instead of Milliseconds Is there something im missing? I thought maybe it was something i hadnt encountered before to do with thread scheduling (ie: none others to be scheduled, so its not sleeping), but if i change the interval to 100ms there is a visible (and seemigly regular) pause, and the output number increments by slightly more than 100 each time round. If anyone can shed some light on this i would be grateful - I'm now wondering if its something to do with the clock speed of my PC...? Thanks, Chris Tag: dotnet runtime component Tag: 116061

Console.WriteLine(str.PadLeft(15)) ' Displays " BBQ and Slaw". I could not notice any difference with the output of str.PadLeft(5) and the original str string.Both carries the same message "BBQ and Slaw" Can any one tell me what is the use of this particular function if the padleft paramater is less than the length of the string.

    - Maintaining Sessions HttpWebRequest I'm having problems to maintain a session with a remote server using HttpWebRequest in .NET v2 I read a page using, which gives me data and holds it in a session. (classic ASP) The second request I need to use data from that session with the new data I provide from ASP.NET. My problem is that both requests appear to have a seperate Session; asp.net <- classic asp session-related data (session 1) asp.net -> classic asp session-related data + asp.net data (session 2 opened) Instead of sharing one; asp.net <- asp session-related data (session 1) asp.net -> asp session-related data + asp.net data (session 1) Is there a way to force the same session being used by the ASP.NET page? The code I currently am using, but isn't hooking back to the first session: public class Remote { public static string GetRemoteHTML(string ContentURL) { try { // Get HTML data HttpWebRequest wreq = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(ContentURL); wreq.KeepAlive = true; if (HttpContext.Current.Cache["ASPSESSION"] != null) { //string Cache = HttpContext.Current.Cache["ASPSESSION"].ToString(); //string CName = Cache.Substring(0, Cache.IndexOf("=")); //string CValue = Cache.Substring(Cache.IndexOf("=") + 1, Cache.IndexOf(";") - Cache.IndexOf("=") - 1); //CookieContainer Cookies = new CookieContainer(); //Cookie Cookie = new Cookie(CName, CValue); //Cookie.Path = "/"; //Cookie.Domain = ContentURL.Substring(0, ContentURL.IndexOf("/",8)); //Cookies.Add(Cookie); //wreq.CookieContainer = Cookies; wreq.Headers.Add("Set-Cookie", HttpContext.Current.Cache["ASPSESSION"].ToString()); } HttpWebResponse wres = (HttpWebResponse)wreq.GetResponse(); System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Cache.Insert("ASPSESSION", wres.Headers["Set-Cookie"].ToString()); Stream streamResponse = wres.GetResponseStream(); StreamReader streamRead = new StreamReader(streamResponse); string responseString = streamRead.ReadToEnd(); streamResponse.Close(); streamRead.Close(); return responseString; } catch(Exception e) { throw e; } } } Is there something I'm overlooking?

    - QUERY: Adding more JS/DOM attributes to DataGrids I know that JavaScript lets us add: ondragenter, ondragover, ondragleave, ondrop events to normal HTML table td tags. This lets us do highlighting of table cells/rows, and capture drag & drop events. So to handle ondrop we can use JavaScript: this.OnDrop = function(obj) { obj.parentElement.style.backgroundColor = "white"; var strData = window.event.dataTransfer.getData("text"); this.InsertRow(obj.parentElement.rowIndex, strData); window.event.cancelBubble = true; } The obj is the object that was dropped onto. So obj.parentElement is the tr element, etc. Does all tr elements implicitly have a rowIndex member which contains the row number of the table? What am wondering is how can one add the ondrop="" attribute to a table which was generated from a DataGrid? If it is not possible adding JavaScript/DOM attributes to DataGrid's generated tables, then is there any way to capture these window.events and knowing exactly which DataGrid table row/cell it was dragged onto? I was told to look for "DataGrid Overviews" at 4guysfromrolla.com but could not find anything about it. Not even google.com could help. Is there no drag and dropping support for ASP.NET datasource tables? Tag: dotnet runtime component Tag: 116053

Check out the following:

I know Installshield has an option to accomplish this as my team lead who is
responsible for builds accomplishes this. You may want to read thru the
Installshield docs or search thier support site.
