Fox learn has to be one of the best tutorial channels I have seen in a long time

[@simona6229]

Just what I was looking for and helped a lot. If I could make one small suggestion and that's the target application should be called something like 'My Forms App' so it's much clearer when we're discussing the SetUp App and when the actual app being set up. But I'm being picky, I was still able to follow, just had to concentrate.

Amazing video!
Congrats FoxLearn Team!!!

[@zabihbutt3451]

[@thriziamayparenas4786]

Did you find a solution to do this

[@darrenhind9948]

I've learned so much from your tutorials as a beginner, so thank you.
One question though, as I'm not fully understanding the difference between debug/release. How do I update my program after changing code in VS?

[@darrenhind9948]

Is this the process after code change:
Change from debug to release in config manager
Rebuild
Change back to debug
Uninstall
Reinstall ?

[@schultemedia]

@@darrenhind9948 Debug is with Debug information if some ooperations fail, like if you develop in VS and get an error. Release also removes all comments and stuff like that, it is better and a bit faster if you deploy your application.

[@HyprixGD]

I get an error when trying to do this. My error says that my pc is missing the file vs_communitysomething.msi (i don't remember the entire name) and I watched tutorial for all visual studio versions, but they are all the same anyway. My vs is 2017...

[@vlad94]

I wish I found this one month ago...
I went with Inno Setup witch is great, but this seems much simpler
Does this allows running PS scripts after install and before uninstall?

[@thanhatnguyenthe7146]

thank you for useful video.

[@SSoup64]

Thanks for the tutorial, I do have a question though, how can I include .dll files in the installer? My application is heavily dependent on them and I can't figure out a way to add them.

Can you do this for publication on a website? However, the site runs on an ordinary Linux server. I have now tried everything possible, a publication on a web space (with automatic updates) does not work with MSIX Installer Project or ClickOnce.

Really - you are a hero.
Searched a long time for a way to include "Access Database Engine" at a setup.
You showed it.
Only one question: is it possible to include a uninstall shortcut (at the startmenu for example)

[@easyengineering9134]

For the people having issues with the "you are trying to open a file of type system file .dll" I solved by using "Publish Items" instead of "Primary Output " in the "Project Output"

Yes, You can select the folder you want to setup
