Hi,

Basically we are releasing our changes/fixes in the form of manual installer (Windows powershell script). It will install specified .dll and SQL script files at particular locations by reading config file values (We will configure .dll & Sql script locations in this file). The same powershell script has uninstallation code to rollback particular chage set.

Is there any option or mechanism to create Windows installer for above requirement. Please suggest.

Thanks you !!!

What I have tried:

Currently we are doing using Windows powershell script.

- VS has a installer project that can give you a lot of customizeable control Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 Installer Projects - Visual Studio Marketplace[^]

- Same is true for WiX WiX Toolset[^] which also has VS custom project items

- Your riquirements sound like you could be happy with ClickOnce (just search for that term) but you will have to do the evaluation yourself, if its not good enough, its probably time to look at the first 2 options ...
