Thank you for this tuturial. This installation is a bit too transparent for the user, is it possbile to add the standard installations pages of Windows with that let the user choose the installation path with the Next button?

[wendmwerku]

it is good, but how can we build with database and distribute for others

[aniruddhashevle]

Good tutorial, but when I try to install the app using the msi file, I'm getting a loading window which closes after 2-3 sec!

What's the solution for this?

[dineshsubramani]

Awesome tutorial for beginners. i created the app using your steps, i install the setup file it works fine for me and checked with another system it returns the error "The application requires .NET Framework 4.5. Please install the .NET Framework then run your installer again" please advice. and app first page loading take too much time in other systems
