c# - How to implement Setup and Deployment project with Custom Actions

Question

My Setup and Deployment project will copy both MyClient.exe, MyClient.Config files to the appropriate directories using the Setup.msi file.

I am trying to enhance the Setup.msi project so that user can enter the configuration values at run time and the setup program can update the file MyClient.Config. I have created a new project and added a windows Form in it with edit boxes. The project will create an application named Helper.exe

I followed the below link and implemented the Custom Actions functionality.

But the issue is Setup.msi is always starting the MyClient.exe instead of Helper.exe during the deployment.

Thanks in advance for your help

我建议要么使用不同的工具（此项目类型已从 VS2012 中删除，并且只暴露了很少的 Windows Installer），要么将要求从安装程序移至应用程序（首次运行配置）。
