Preparing to Install a Visual Studio Project
I created a VSTO PowerPoint add-in in Visual Studio. To distribute this to users, I created an InstallShield setup project.
After creating this project, the installation and add-in works fine if I use this option to download the required prerequisites from the Internet.
However, when I use the option to extract prerequisites from Setup.exe, it doesn't work: the add-in itself is installed, but there are no prerequisites.
I know the preconditions are included in the setup because without them Setup.exe is about 2MB, with the preconditions it is about 290MB.
I have two prerequisites selected in the Prerequisites view:
In the Releases view under the Setup.exe tab SingleImage InstallShield Prerequisites Location is also set to Extract from Setup.exe .
But the installer just won't install .NET Framework 4.5 (usually present on user systems if needed) and VSTO Runtime, even if I included it in the installer!
Any help is greatly appreciated.
