使用dotnetInstaller（installer.exe）进行安装时出错

Question

I have a setup of my project names a Final__.msi . Before installing project setup i want to install Sqlserver R2 Express . So i use dotnetinstaller to created exe . I have put all my pre-requites file under folder names supportedFiles

Here my Folder structure :

---

Now i added Exe component for installing sql server.
Whether i am doing it wrong by setting executable as #APPPATH\\SUppotedFIels\\sql.exe

Now while creating EXE i got this error

This is my Configuration.xml :

Answer 1

You can add other Cab file for SQLEXPWT_X86_ENU.exe as Final___.msi .

Then, change Install\\Executable parameter from value:

#APPPATH\SUppotedFIels\sql.exe

to value:

#CABPATH\SQLEXPWT_X86_ENU.exe

If you open your dotNetInstaller xml configuration file, you should have something like this:

  ...
  <configuration ...>
    ...
    <component package="#CABPATH\Final___.msi" ... />
    <component package="#CABPATH\SQLEXPWT_X86_ENU.exe" ... />
    <embedfile sourcefilepath="yourResourcePath\Final___.msi" targetfilepath="" />
    <embedfile sourcefilepath="yourResourcePath\SupportedFiles\SQLEXPWT_X86_ENU.exe" targetfilepath="" />
  </configuration>
