✅ How to make installer for .net framework 4.7.2

Hello,

I am building a WPF plugin for AutoCAD. When i build solution i get 5 dlls, the main dll is called GUI and you can use "netload" command in autocad to load it and start using it.

What i want to do is create some kind of installer, exe or whatever that user can simply run and it would do the following:

  1. Find if autocad is installed and copy 5 dlls into that folder
  2. Edit a specific file that autocad installs "example.lisp" and add one line of code to that file
  3. Optionally create uninstaller
What is best way? Should i use program like inno setup or create my own cs script? I am using Rider IDE and .net framework 4.7.2 (it is the latest supported version that autocad uses, i cant use other)
