OK here it is go to your setup project from the view menu go to editor and select User Interface and add a new dialog there can be customer information , register user etc and get those details input by the user while installing. then go to you projectinstaller code behind and over write the install function there you can capture the given details and hence update the connection string as possible. Thanks, Lisa

Thanks For Your Help Can you please describe it properly. how to add the custom screen to the installer. Thanks

Lisa · Answer

add a custom screen into the installer (if you want to prompt user to give the location) or you could directly assign a location based on directory user selects. Override the install function to do the specific job . like for example get the target directory of installation and the update the web.config file with relevant information. Thanks, Lisa
