Issues with Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller Namespace

Question

Hello Guys,

Am facing an issue with namespace regarding WindowsInstaller

My code is to Read a MSI file and to write, other operations etc.

OS: Windows 7, 64 BIT

VS: VS2013

(I have WiX Toolset v3.8 installed on my machine, which will assist in windows installer funstions)

My Code starts like this:

using System;

using System.Linq;

using WindowsInstaller;

using Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller;

using Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller.Linq;

namespace ReadMSI

{

Error: "the type or namespace name 'deployment' does not exist in the namespace 'microsoft'"

I have related .dll installed to the below location.

"C:\Program Files (x86)\WiX Toolset v3.8\bin\Microsoft.Deployment.WindowsInstaller.dll"

Not sure what am missing.

Is this any issue with installing WiX Toolset v3.8

Please assist.

There's a standard algorithm for doing this in C programming - see http://www.geeksforgeeks.org/archives/3133

The C# translation would be:

using System;

class Program

{

    static void Main()

    {

       int[] arr = {3, 2, 7, 10};

       Console.WriteLine("Maximum sum of array 1 is {0}", FindMaxSum(arr));

       int[] arr2 = {3, 2, 5, 10, 7};

       Console.WriteLine("Maximum sum of array 2 is {0}", FindMaxSum(arr2));

       Console.ReadKey();

    }

    static int FindMaxSum(int[] arr)

    {

      int n = arr.Length;

      int incl = arr[0];

      int excl = 0;

      int excl_new;

 

      for (int i = 1; i < n; i++)

      {

         /* current max excluding i */

         excl_new = Math.Max(incl, excl);

 

         /* current max including i */

         incl = excl + arr[i];

         excl = excl_new;

      }

 

      /* return max of incl and excl */

      return Math.Max(incl, excl);

    }

}
