I have created a widows application with setup project. I compiled and build.Everything looks fine.

For changing the configuration file during installation am trying to add a new Installer file. when i add it by default i get the below code

C#

Collapse | Copy Code
    
    [RunInstaller(true)]
        public partial class Installer : Installer
        {
            public Installer()
            {
                InitializeComponent();
            }
        }

When i compile this Am gettin
Circular base class dependency involving 'windows_setup.Installer' and 'windows_setup.Installer'

windows setup is the name space i used for the application. Then i found that i need to create the new classs which inbherits Installer.So i changed my class name to

C#

public partial class Installer : Installer

Now am Getting

Inconsistent accessibility: base class 'windows_setup.Installer' is less accessible than class 'windows_setup.MyInstaller'

Suggest your ideas.

Thanks

You should definitely not extend a class over it's own name:

C#

public partial class Installer : Installer

Give it own identifier, and of course it's own constructor:

C#

public partial class MyInstaller : Installer

Consult msdn[^]

As i mentioned i did changed the name now am getting "Inconsistent Accesiblity" Error

According to your post, you have not. But have yo added a proper constructor also? Paste all the class code here if possible.

Somehow i managed to fix the compiler Errors.But now my installer class is not getting called. Kept a Break point on the file but never stops. Any suggestion ?
