| | "publish" and EULAs I use VB 2008 EE and have developed a small application. My plan is that users will install it from a CD, or maybe I will just email them the setup.exe file. I've used "Publish" to create the setup.exe file and that process seems pretty straightforward. My question is that I see no way to include an EULA to which the end user must agree during the install process. Have I overlooked something, or does "publish" just not support the inclusion of an EULA? If "publish" doesn't include support for an EULA, how do you license your product to someone? Thanks, Bob |

| | Re: "publish" and EULAs Create an installer project for your application instead of using Publish. This way you can configure virtually all aspects of the installation.

| | Re: "publish" and EULAs Thank you Andrew. I don't see anything about an "installer project" in VS Express. Am I missing something, or is that feature available only in a priced version of VS? Do you know if installer projects are supported by the "standard" edition"? If so, will the standard edition work with the Express versions of VB, C# and C++?

| | Re: "publish" and EULAs Sorry, I missed the fact that you were using Express edition. The installer projects are only available in professional and above versions.
