Custom installer with Visual Studio
I need to create an installer for my application that is a Windows Service.
I want this installer check if the windows service is running before install it. and also check some SQL Server queries.
The problem is...I don't know how to execute an pre-install code in Visual Studio Installer. I'm using VS 2017
I want run a code that will check this queries and if the there is a service running before install or upgrade the Windows Service.
How can I add a custom Installer with C# code logic in the VS 2017?
c# visual-studio windows-installer

I would look into using inno setup, it will do everything you have said you need.

What you're looking for is called "Custom Actions".
Right Click your VS Installer Project > View > Custom Actions.
This will allow you to execute any code that you like under the context of a variety of installer actions.

Your code will be in an assembly in your installer, either one dedicated to your CAs, or with your existing logic.vbs and js is also allowed.
