The following example is an excerpt of the example in the InstallerCollection class.
using System; using System.ComponentModel; using System.Collections; using System.Configuration.Install; using System.IO; public class InstallerCollection_Add { public static void Main(String[] args) { ArrayList options = new ArrayList(); String myOption; bool toUnInstall = false; bool toPrintHelp = false; TransactedInstaller myTransactedInstaller = new TransactedInstaller(); AssemblyInstaller myAssemblyInstaller; InstallContext myInstallContext; try { for(int i = 0; i < args.Length; i++) { // Process the arguments. if(args[i].StartsWith("/") || args[i].StartsWith("-")) { myOption = args[i].Substring(1); // Determine whether the option is to 'uninstall' a assembly. if(String.Compare(myOption, "u", true) == 0 || String.Compare(myOption, "uninstall", true) == 0) { toUnInstall = true; continue; } // Determine whether the option is for printing help information. if(String.Compare(myOption, "?", true) == 0 || String.Compare(myOption, "help", true) == 0) { toPrintHelp = true; continue; } // Add the option encountered to the list of all options // encountered for the current assembly. options.Add(myOption); } else { // Determine whether the assembly file exists. if(!File.Exists(args[i])) { // If assembly file doesn't exist then print error. Console.WriteLine(" Error : {0} - Assembly file doesn't exist.", args[i]); return; } // Create an instance of 'AssemblyInstaller' that installs the given assembly. myAssemblyInstaller = new AssemblyInstaller(args[i], (string[]) options.ToArray(typeof(string))); // Add the instance of 'AssemblyInstaller' to the 'TransactedInstaller'. myTransactedInstaller.Installers.Add(myAssemblyInstaller); } } // If user requested help or didn't provide any assemblies to install // then print help message. if(toPrintHelp || myTransactedInstaller.Installers.Count == 0) { PrintHelpMessage(); return; } // Create an instance of 'InstallContext' with the options specified. myInstallContext = new InstallContext("Install.log", (string[]) options.ToArray(typeof(string))); myTransactedInstaller.Context = myInstallContext; // Install or Uninstall an assembly depending on the option provided. if(!toUnInstall) myTransactedInstaller.Install(new Hashtable()); else myTransactedInstaller.Uninstall(null); } catch(Exception e) { Console.WriteLine(" Exception raised : {0}", e.Message); } } public static void PrintHelpMessage() { Console.WriteLine("Usage : InstallerCollection_Add [/u | /uninstall] [option [...]] assembly" + "[[option [...]] assembly] [...]]"); Console.WriteLine("InstallerCollection_Add executes the installers in each of" + " the given assembly. If /u or /uninstall option" + " is given it uninstalls the assemblies."); } }
