Adding Files to a Deployment Project Using Macros

Gucci - 18 Jan 2006 17:16 GMT
I've been trying to write a very simple macro to add/remove files to a
Setup/Deployment project but having no luck. Initially I thought that the
ProjectItems collection for my Project was where I needed to look but there
is nothing in that, even though I've manually added some files to the project.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi Gucci,

Some kind of projects (Setup projects, Database projects, etc.) offers
little extensibility from macros/add-ins, they are called "Unmodeled
projects", if you read the docs. So, you should use the VSIP/VS 2005 SDK
(low level stuff).

Carlos,

Thanks for clarifying that. That was the conclusion I was coming to,
although some of the stuff I'd read seemed to indicate the VS2005 had better
support for the Setup Projects. Using the SDK, is there any example code that
might point me in the right direction.

Many thanks.

Hi Gucci,

I am not yet familiar with the SDK, but there is MS people around here...
