I have compiled a VC++ service installer, this installs a windows service. On the project its configuration is set to Active(Debug), I'm able to view its Primary Output (Service1) to add it as part of the Custom Action Editor under Setup and Deplyment project.<br />
If I changed the Service1 project to Active(Release) I cannot longer view its Primary Output (Service1) under the Add Custom Action. But yet I'm able to Add --&gt; Project Output the Primary Output (Service1).<br />
<br />
why I cannot view Primary output from Service1 in Release mode under Add Custom Action..<br />
<br />
Note: i have other projects that are C# programs and one VC++ program to handle windows service.<br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks

Visual Studio 2010, Setup and Deployement. Service installer primary output is not visible in custom action editor.

Microsoft Visual C++ (often abbreviated as MSVC or VC++) is an integrated development environment (IDE) product from Microsoft for the C, C++, and C++/CLI programming languages. It features tools for developing and debugging C++ code, especially code written for the Microsoft Windows API, the DirectX API, and the Microsoft .NET Framework. Many applications require redistributable Visual C++ packages to function correctly and are often installed independently of applications, allowing multiple applications to make use of the package while only having to install it once

Visual C++.NET

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

.NET Programming

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).
