InstallerCollection.Add Method
.NET Framework 3.0
Adds the specified installer to this collection of installers.
Namespace: System.Configuration.Install
Assembly: System.Configuration.Install (in system.configuration.install.dll)
Assembly: System.Configuration.Install (in system.configuration.install.dll)
The Parent property of the added Installer is set to specify the Installer containing this collection.
The following example is an excerpt of the example in the InstallerCollection class.
