Visual Studio를 통해 Setup 파일을 만들고 프로젝트를 설치하도록 구성하는 방법을 기술합니다.


결과물로 .msi 파일과 .exe 파일이 만들어지고, 조건과 설치 경로, 레지스트리 등을 처리해서 만들어진 결과물을 효과적으로 배포할 수 있도록 도와줍니다.


사실 말이 쉽지 해보면 많이 어렵더군요 ;;


그래도 조금이라도 도움을 받을 수 있는 MSDN을 참조해샤~ 뺘샤!


다들 화팅 ㅠ


혹시라도 괜찮게 Setup 프로젝트를 설명해 둔 블로깅이 있으시면 트랙백 해주세요 +ㅁ +


아래는 원문의 글입니다.

Setup projects allow you to create installers in order to distribute an application. The resulting Windows Installer (.msi) file contains the application, any dependent files, information about the application such as registry entries, and instructions for installation. When the .msi file is distributed and run on another computer, you can be assured that everything necessary for installation is included; if for any reason the installation fails (for example, the target computer does not have the required operating system version), the installation will be rolled back and the computer returned to its preinstallation state.

There are two types of setup projects in Visual Studio: Setup projects and Web Setup projects. The distinction between Setup and Web Setup projects is where the installer will be deployed: Setup projects will install files into the file system of a target computer; Web Setup projects install files into a virtual directory of a Web server.

In addition, a Setup Wizard is available to simplify the process of creating a Setup or Web Setup project.
