Example
[Visual Basic, C#, C++] In the following example, an AssemblyInstaller is created by invoking the AssemblyInstaller constructor. The properties of this object are set and the Install and Commit methods are called to install the MyAssembly.exe assembly.
[Visual Basic] Imports System Imports System.Configuration.Install Imports System.Collections Imports System.Collections.Specialized Class AssemblyInstaller_Example Shared Sub Main() Dim mySavedState = New Hashtable() Console.WriteLine("") Try ' Set the commandline argument array for 'logfile'. Dim commandLineOptions(0) As String commandLineOptions(0) = "/LogFile=example.log" ' Create an object of the 'AssemblyInstaller' class. Dim myAssemblyInstaller As _ New AssemblyInstaller("MyAssembly.exe", commandLineOptions) myAssemblyInstaller.UseNewContext = True ' Install the 'MyAssembly' assembly. myAssemblyInstaller.Install(mySavedState) ' Commit the 'MyAssembly' assembly. myAssemblyInstaller.Commit(mySavedState) Catch e As ArgumentException Catch e As Exception Console.WriteLine(e.Message) End Try End Sub 'Main End Class 'AssemblyInstaller_Example [C#] using System; using System.Configuration.Install; using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Specialized; class AssemblyInstaller_Example { static void Main() { IDictionary mySavedState = new Hashtable(); Console.WriteLine( "" ); try { // Set the commandline argument array for 'logfile'. string[] commandLineOptions = new string[ 1 ] {"/LogFile=example.log"}; // Create an object of the 'AssemblyInstaller' class. AssemblyInstaller myAssemblyInstaller = new AssemblyInstaller( "MyAssembly.exe" , commandLineOptions ); myAssemblyInstaller.UseNewContext = true; // Install the 'MyAssembly' assembly. myAssemblyInstaller.Install( mySavedState ); // Commit the 'MyAssembly' assembly. myAssemblyInstaller.Commit( mySavedState ); } catch (ArgumentException) { } catch (Exception e) { Console.WriteLine( e.Message ); } } } [C++] #using <mscorlib.dll> #using <System.dll> #using <System.Configuration.Install.dll> using namespace System; using namespace System::Configuration::Install; using namespace System::Collections; using namespace System::Collections::Specialized; int main() { IDictionary* mySavedState = new Hashtable(); Console::WriteLine(S""); try { // Set the commandline argument array for 'logfile'. String* commandLineOptions[] = {S"/LogFile=example.log"}; // Create an object of the 'AssemblyInstaller' class. AssemblyInstaller* myAssemblyInstaller = new AssemblyInstaller(S"MyAssembly.exe" , commandLineOptions); myAssemblyInstaller->UseNewContext = true; // Install the 'MyAssembly' assembly. myAssemblyInstaller->Install(mySavedState); // Commit the 'MyAssembly' assembly. myAssemblyInstaller->Commit(mySavedState); } catch (ArgumentException*) { } catch (Exception* e) { Console::WriteLine(e->Message); } }
