In Visual Studio 2010 add new project, select Other Project Types then Visual Studio Installer and choose Setup Project and name it 'SetupDemo'. I'll try to make things clear and simple in this article so, we will create just an empty setup project (nothing to install) because we just want to test the serial number validation. This article provides the necessary steps to do custom validation in VSI setup projects using externalĭLL file written in C++ or Delphi and I'll give two demos in both C++ and Delphi.

This dialog box has an input field for a serial number.
