Storing third party installers in RTC?
![]()
Hello All,
We bought some vendor apps a while back that are used in the homegrown application that we maintain. The problem is that we don't have a good place to store the vendor software. It needs to be in a secure, consistent location. So I'd like to get it into RTC if that's possible. To clarify, I'm not looking to store the vendor's DLL files used within our homegrown app, instead I want to store the vendor's installer file, which is typically an MSI file. We may use the vendor software for other projects, so I would prefer not to save the vendor installer file attached to our homegrown app solution file. I'd like it as its own separate component in RTC. Is there a way to get a zipped file, or MSI file, or anything of a non-VisualStudio nature loaded as its own component in RTC? Thanks for any help! |

You can store a file of any type in an RTC component. The file itself
cannot be a separate component, but the file could be the only file that you store in that component. To avoid playing games with .project files for the component, you might want to use the command line, or in 4.0, you'll be able to use the new Windows Explorer integration.
