Edit the installer project Using the Advanced Installer Project viewer, you can edit basic information about your installer like Product Details, Launch Conditions, Install Parameters, and much more. Let's suppose we have an Enterprise edition of Advanced Installer. By default, the installer project will be created based on a Freeware license. Since we want to use features from the Enterprise edition, like selecting a for the installation dialogs, we will need to upgrade our project type:.
Press the Edit in Advanced Installer button to open your installer project in Advanced Installer. From the “Project” menu select “Options.”. Navigate to the and select Enterprise. Press the OK button Now, that we have an Enterprise project we have full access to all the available Advanced Installer Enterprise features. Go to. From the right view select the desired theme and variation for your installer dialogs. Save the project and exit Advanced Installer Visual Studio will ask you if you want to reload the installer project since it was modified.
Press the Yes button. Add another Visual Studio Project to the solution If an Advanced Installer Project is added to a solution, it will automatically import the build output and all useful information related to the projects from the solution. If later, the existing projects are modified, or another project is added to the solution the import operation must be redone. Let's add a new Visual Studio project to the solution:.
From the “New Project” dialog in Visual Studio select 'Visual C#' 'WPF App'. In the “Solution” field select Add to solution option. Press the OK button. The new project will be added to the solution. Rebuild the solution. Automatically import.VDPROJ files (optional) If you have solutions that contain old Visual Studio Deployment projects (.vdproj) you can automatically convert them to an Advanced Installer project and have it included in your solution, replacing the old VDPROJ.

Just open the solution in Visual Studio, with our Advanced Installer VS extension installed, and VS will prompt you to accept the conversion from VDPROJ to AIPROJ (Advanced Installer VS project). The new project Advanced Installer project will contain all the resources from the old VDPROJ. If you want to customize it more just use the 'Edit in Advanced Installer' button, available when you open the.aip file in Visual Studio.
