Hi everyone,
I have never deployed the MS-involving projects so far, therefore I am a bit confused about the procedure.
I have a Visual Studio (VS2012) solution written in C++. It consists of several projects, and one of them uses Measurement Studio (MS2013) Analysis libraries. It works OK on the development computers. Now I have to create a deployment procedure. I found NI guidelines that allow deplying a Measurement Studio project using WiX. I downloaded WiX. Well, I am possibly missing something but it seems like it allows to deploy only a Measurement Studio project... while I have a pure Visual Studio solution (and by the way, WiX instructions say, quote: "Add your project to the References in the Setup project...", while I have a solution, containing almost a dozen projects... so how would I add the whole solution?).
Anyway, my questions are:
1. Am I correct assuming the WiX allows deploy only Measurement Studio-based projects?
2. If the answer is "yes" then how can I deploy my project? Should I simply copy the assemblies used to the GAC? WHat else should I be concerned about?
3. If the answer is "no", then how should I add the VS solution to the WiX setup?
Thank you!
Mike
