Re: Serial no check - setup & deployment project



This forums thread includes a URL for an out-of-date way to do this with
Visual Studio (edit your MSI file with Orca) but basically Visual Studio
does not have IDE support for calling custom actions from the UI sequence.

Hi techies

I have a registration form to download my application. During this
registration i generate serial no for that user and i am sending to
user by e-mail


The download contains my application deployed in .net setup &
deployment project. During installation the user has to give the serial

no which i sent to him by mail. If it is a valid serial then i should
allow them to install otherwise not.


In .net customer information dialog with serial number is available.
But i do not understand the goal of this dialog. will my scenario sit
in this dialog.


Or we have another option of Register user dialog which is only to call

an exe not for validation, will it be useful for me.


But goal is to stop the installation when they give wrong serial no.


Suggestions please
