Hello Team ,

We have product developed in vs2008 c# and SQL server.We have deployed that one on to many client sides on there servers.
We are doing research and bug-Fixes to improve quality of this product Or update in the application could be happen due to customer requests related to new features , new report , bug introduce while running the application. Our fixes related to queries would generally contain SQL Script update , Updated RDL files , ETC.. that need to be executed on the client servers to have them update there product.

I need to develop one application which will take all the update files (SQL Scripts , RDL file) and build the fix may be setup file (msi , .exe) and by using this the client can run this setup on there environment and update the software.

My concern is about How we can build the architecture ? How we can build the EXE file which will include all the SQL Script and RDL files ?

Hope this helps to understand my requirement .

Any specific issue or have you not tried Google/thinking? I mean really you are asking us to design a full architecture for you then post it in an answer - it's not going to happen. We are volunteers - we aren't paid - and this is our free-time we spend answering questions. We don't waste time doing your job for you nor providing full designs for code or full code itself. Please apply yourself to your issue and use Google to research standard, tried & tested architectures.

You should absolutely not do this at all. It does not make any sense to go through the process of creating your own program to deploy your application.
Use this[^] or this[^] or this[^] or that[^] to do whatever it is that you want to do. You will be way better off in the long run. The first come comes with Visual Studio, the second one is a commercial application, the last two are free. Or choose another way. Try Wix[^] it's free too. And there are plenty of others.
