Hi,

I create a setup for .Net WinForm application that will create registry
setting for database server name. Currently, I use the edit box provided with
VS.Net setup wizard to prompt user for the server name. The problem is I
can't validate the input. Is there a way to interface or call other program
from the setup wizard? For instance, I want to put a button next to edit box
and when clicked, launch other program to lookup network's server names? If
not possible with Setup Wizard, what other tools can I try?

Thank you in advance for any help or direction?

It's possible in MSI but not with Visual Studio.
