Jul 10, 2009
I am trying to replace the following section to blank section
<secureWebPages mode="RemoteOnly" encryptedUri="abc.co.uk" unencryptedUri="www.abc.co.uk" maintainPath="True" warningBypassMode="AlwaysBypass" bypassQueryParamName="BypassSecurityWarning" ignoreHandlers="WithStandardExtensions">
<files>
<add path="abc.aspx"/>
</files>

But after executing it is giving me the following error

how to setup my deployment project so that users can customize thier own settings in app.config? Which special folder in the File System browser should I add, Personal Data, Application Data, or Programs Menu? How do I add the app.config to the folder? What about the project output, should it also be in the same folder? If so, should the project output be taken out of the Application Folder, in other words, exist in one place? I tested my deployment and was shocked that the icon only opened on the test user's pc after installation. I have custom settings in the app.config file that have default values, but must be configurable for user specific settings.

I've created a console VB.Net application and encrypted the app.config file with RSAProtectedConfigurationProvider.I've used an article http:www.codeproje...eAppConfig.aspx as an example for the Encryption. It works fine in an IDE on my XP desktop.Then I deployed my application to a Windows 2003 server. The package included the app's executable along with the encrypted app.exe.config file. However, the application failed on the server with the following exception:Unhandled Exception: System.Configuration.ConfigurationerrorsException: Failed to decrypt using provider 'RsaProtectedConfigurationProvider'. Error message from the provider: The RSA key container could not be opened.I decided to encrypt app.config on the server so I copied app.config and encrypted it. The app.exe.config looked encrypted and I ran the application. However, it failed: although it didn't raise an Rsa exception as before,

I'm brand new to this forum. i have a question. i wrote some software a while back and now have a few new features I need to implement. this software currently makes use of "application settings" to store all of it's settings. Which works just fine.
I have a client that has about 40 users. He wants to be able to share his settings (that he set up in his copy of the software) with all of users. Preferably by distributing a copy of a config file that they would be able to import into there software.

However, it failed: although it didn't raise an Rsa exception as before, it couldn't read a connection string. After I decrypted app.exe.config, I found that it contained only the below string
although the original app.config had contained an application-specific connection string. I think that in order to resolve my issue I should export the RSA keys from my desktop to the server. Can you advise how can I do it (it's not a Web application!).

Have built a project and associated it with a Setup&Deployment Project. The S&D project needs to contain 2 main folders (under User's Desktop) with various formats of files (xmls, txts, dlls) inside them and several subfolders. How can i copy/import these 2 folders and there sub-files/folders into my s&d project?
When adding them in the usual way, they are copied and defined a source path onto the current pc. You can understand what errors this might create when an another targeted pc does not contain those files to the exact location. Is there any way to copy them locally or somehow import them?

I created a setup project along with my main program everything compiles ok and I'm able to install a successfully. The problem I am experiencing is when I try to install over the previous version. I have set the setup property RemovePreviousVersion to TRUE , DetectNewerInstalledVersion to TRUE and I also increment the Version number and choose Yes when prompted to automatically change the ProductCode.
What I find is that when I install my program, the date on a subfolder changes, I don't expect the dates of the support files to change. but I do expect the date of my main .exe file to change. Unfortunately it stays the same. Running the program also shows that this file was not updated. I have read the MSDN articles on this but cannot figure it out.

I am working on a Project which uses SQL Server,Crystal Report. And the project is almost complete and i am going to publish it.Now I dont want to add the Prerequisites for the project as it will make the size of the exe to some 400mb but my application exe is just 4mb.
Now currently i have seen something in the Reference Section of Project Properties.That is the dll Control that i am using for Buttons has the Column called Copy Local with a value of True but for CrystalDecission.Shared its just False, so is this value changing to True helps me or not... that is i should not have to include as Prerequisites for crystal report..

I've created a deployment project to install my app using Visual Studio. How do I get the setup wizard to run my app at the end and pass it a command line parameter?
I need to set permissions on a folder so I was going to call my app with a parameter and do it from there whilst the user still has admin rights.

I using unit testing, to ensure that I can read connect string information from the ConnectStrings section of my app.config file. This works fine in the application proper, However when I attempt to generate a unit test for this under the Test Project, the dll.config file is being ignored, and the connectstring info from the machine.config file is being retrieved instead. How do I ensure that my tests read from the correct config file?

PROBLEM #1: I have a program that accesses several XML files that are located in a subfolder called "xmlfiles." This folder is a sub-folder in my project. I am using "Application.Settings" to store the locations of the XML files. For example, I have an entry for "JobsXML" that has a string with the file path of the XML file to load. To get these files to load, I had to use relative references: The path settings for "JobsXML" is "......xmlfilesjobs.xml"
I have to go up 3 directories because the files are in "debugin" during design. This will not be the case at runtime. This arrangement works fine in the editor, but when I make a "ClickOnce" package, the relative path will no longer work for installed applications. The directory will be different.
How can I setup my code so that the "xmlfiles" subfolder will be correctly used at runtime? I need to be able to run this from my project folder under "My Documents/Visual Studio 2005/Projects/etc..." and also, I need it to work from the runtime directory that the user installs the program to. So if the user installs the package to "C:temp" then the code should use the setting for "JobsXML" by going to "C:empxmlfilesjobs.xml."
PROBLEM #2: There is an attribute in some of my XML files that is also, a relative file reference. I have another subfolder called "images" that also resides in my project. This folder contains images that are loaded at runtime. In my XML file, each node has an attribute, "filepath" that has a value of "......imagesfilename.jpg". I also need to be able to access this relatively, just like the XMLfiles I mentioned in PROBLEM #1.
I have tried different combinations of StartupPath, Path.Combine and a few others, with no success. I am new to this so I could use some sample code to put this together correctly.

I have a question for many years.. Suppose if I Deployed a project using Setup Project. After some time, I added some features or modify it on customer demand.
1) How do I make a upgrade project so that the user runs the setup and the new changes are upgraded on the client system.
2) How do I automatically create ODBC System DSN Connections.

I am trying to create a deployment project for a solution of many projects and two start-up projects. I understand that there are 2 primary outputs in this case. The solution will not work/make sense if either of the two outputs is not running.
At the moment, I have created a set-up project with the multiple outputs, but then I will have to open the outputs individually for them to work. I am wondering if there is a way to create a desktop icon that targets both outputs simultaenoulsy.

setup and deployment project walkthru? creating a setup and deployment project in Vs2008

For my .Net desktop apps I usually create an MSI installer (I create a 2nd project in my solution, a Setup & Deployment project) and I zip the setup.exe file with the <appname>.msi files together and put them up for download on my site. The installer will go through the process of asking where they would like to install the application (it creates the needed shortcuts and everything).
Right now I'm looking at adding a feature to some of these programs where it'll periodically check it's corresponding xml file on my web server and see if there's a newer version of itself available. I have this portion working just fine, where I'm stuck is that I would like to have it download a separate msi installer to update itself.
The idea is that it would download this different msi file, execute it while the app closes itself. This msi would not ask any questions, it would simply update the needed files in whatever location the first msi installer put the app. When this updater msi is done, it would just re-start the application.How would I go about making an msi installer that doesn't have any prompts and installs the application where ever the first msi installer put it (where ever the user chose to install it to)?

I have a Class Library project with a appSettings.config file included into the project. The file is not embedded. So I have a ClassLibrary.dll with a appSettings.config beside in the bin.I have another project which is a Web Service. It has a reference on ClassLibrary.dll with a Copy Local=true. When I build the Web Service, the ClassLibrary.dll is brought into the bin of the Web Service. However, the .config doesn't follow.Do I need to do some postbuild event to copy the .config file or there is another setting I can set?

We are using VB 2008. Because we want to make an service of an project we need also the settings of that project. We copy the app.config from the project to the service project but if we are starting the service project we don't see the original settings.

I would like to add a choice of icons to the desktop shortcut I add in setup/deployment. I can add one icon, but when I run the project there is no option for changing it. The "change icon" button is greyed out. I've made a dll containing 3 icons and added it to the setup/deployment project (also added it to the test project).

I have recently learnt vs '05 and am creating a project in vb.net '05.my question is-During project development, we connect it to MS SqL server 2005 express installed on my system and it works.( I use add datasource wizard,add sqldataadapter,add gridview control,generate dataset,connect dataset to gridview method). But after the project is finished and we create its executable, the project will be run on adiffrent machine with a different server name and hence a new connection string will be required.
How can i make my project detect server details and connect to it, at runtime ? because the user is only expexted to start the server and open my application.the app must connect to the new server on its own. If anybody has an answer or if you know some resource where i can find it, please post here. Any suggestions are welcome.

im still fairly new to this. i have written a program, built it and created my setup project and can install it no problems, however, in the "setup view" where you have the threefolders "Application folder" "Users Desktop" and "Users Programs menu" ... u know "the file system view/setup1" ... well here is the problem, i click on "Application folder" and change the "default location" ... so i can specify the program is installed in "C:ProgramFilesJohns AppCalculator" ...... BUT when i build the setup and install the program it does not appear in this location !! arghh i can see all the program files on my pc ... except mine ( i have tried all day and all night the only way i can get it to appear here is by INCLUDING the "project output" into THIS folder ..... even though i only want it to be on the "users desktop" ....

I have a project that I am attempting to deploy. In my project I was using a SQL Express DB and after my first build I installed on my test PC only to find that it was going to make me install SQL Express which I defiantly do not want so I decided to scrap the DB.
I excluded the DB from the project, when into the project properties pages and removed all references to SQL and system.Data, Went into the code and removed all the "Imports" statements for SQL and Data and commented out all the SQL DB code. I then tried another build and had the same results. I started looking at the files and then I realized I did not change the app.config file. I went into it and deleted out the connection string entry. I built the project again only to have the same result. I cannot seem to see what could still be referencing SQL. Isn't commented code ignored?
