How to deploy a Windows C # forms application developed with SQL Server Express 2012 and Crystal Report

Question

I developed the application in Microsoft Visual Studio 2013..NET framework 4.5. The DBMS that I used is the SQL Server 2012 Express and Crystal report 13 is used for reporting

I want to create an installation file that can install a .NET server, sql server and crystal report on a client computer. This setting should be autonomous and quiet .

I used it once, but it doesn’t work when I select “Download file the same as my application location”. I meant that offline configuration does not work with a click once. Secondly, there is no way to choose where I need to install the software.

I know that there are other questions, the same as in this one. But I need specific help in the condition described above.

Please describe how I can create this single and standalone installation file of this type to deploy my project.

Answer 1

I also recently developed a C # application with Crystal Reports 13 that, if necessary, set prerequisites such as the .NET Framework 4.5. I used Advanced Installer .

You can also download and use the InstallShield template. Follow this article.

Edit. Advanced installer Runtime Engine SAP Crystal Reports .
