Introduction

This article is part of a series of articles that I am writing to illustrate the use of EMC Centera SDK and the .NET wrapper being developed as open source project to store “fixed content” on the EMC Centera storage appliance.

To help developers write high-quality .NET code Red-Gate Software has released Exception Hunter. Exception Hunter is a compile-time tool that analyzes .NET code and identifies what unhandled exceptions the code can throw.

Preventing application exceptions that can be prevented and handling application exceptions that can not be prevented – are important aspects of a writing high-quality .NET code.

When the time come to deploy our applications using the "Setup and Deployment Project" template in Visual Studio .Net, we get concerned about its power, the fact is that you can do a lot of things by implementing an "Installer Class" as part of the installation package's Custom Actions.

The "Installer Class" object enables your Application's installation package to do several things on the machine where your application is getting installed, the Installer Class is nothing more than a program that you integrate with the installation package.    As such it will have access to all the resources on the target machine.
