2008 - Setup Project Startup Installation Text Shows Up
Feb 17, 2009
Can I have Two basic Questions about Setup Project deploying -
1, After I put company's logo at startup installation, there was still text shown up "Welcome xxxx setup.." together with the logo, how to remove it and display company's logo only? Also, if using text display and the text is too long, how to return to next line?
2, If I setup more than once, I was told to remove the first one using Add/Remove program in Control Panel before setting up new program. How can I use a dialog like "Overwrite the existing program"?

I have a series of 12 individual projects developed under a single solution. Now I want to create a Setup Project for installation of these projects. I want to have single setup.exe as output which should install either 1 one of these 12 projects based on the user selection.Whenever user tries to install these by clicking setup.exe, he must be provided the option of selecting the project and then installation should proceed installing the corresponding exe.

I want to create personal folders during installation. I did the following steps:
Right click on your setup project ->
View -> File System
Right click on node "File system on
[Code]....
I know the above steps are correct and should work because i did it in the other application (solution) and worked fine. When i did same exact steps (of course i changed the folder name to be created), the application gets deployed but when i install, i don't get the Personal Folder under Documents? I wonder why did it work with my first solution and didn't work with the current one!

I've created a setup project for a VB.NET 2010 application that I've written. The application, and the installer both work fine on my development machine.The installer works fine on other machines, but when I run my application it immediately crashes and dies without telling me anything useful. I've tried it on Windows 7, Windows XP, and Windows Vista machines... and all had the same problem, so I think it's more of a package configuration issue than a machine-specific problem.Here's the most useful information that I was able to get out of it:

I've just created a setup file for my application . Instead of using the click once process , I used the Create Install Free 4.14.5 program , in order to be able to specify some parameters that under click once I couldn't (like specifying installation folder etc) . The problem , however , is that now when I installed the application , an error message appears saying that the computer is missing the Visual Basic Power Packs 9.0 (which I indeed used in my application) . So , is there any way I can add it to my setup file ? That is in order to avoid making people manually downloading and installing it .

I'm struggling with a problem at remot installations. I released my Beta software which was always running fine on a lot of systems Win XP , Win2003, Win 7.Now I have a strange problem at some remote installation. After starting the program it will crash right away, not even geting throug the new or load Events.All my integrated debugging is useless. I don't know how I should debug such a problem.I guess there are some files missing at the remote systems. I have no idea which files. It could also be because of some third party components. I only have an event (see below) which is not of much help (to me).I found some other threads about the same CLR20r3 event but it was not very usefull. I need to get this application up and running. What steps should I take. I have some very good Beta testers.

Some software was installed on 8 XPSP2 PCs at 3 seperate times. 3 of the PCs, after installation, were restarted as per the installation instructions.When restarted, Windows XP displayed an error:The procedure entry point ___CxxFrameHandler3 could not be located in the dynamic link library Msvcrt.dll. and Windows will not start. (nor in Safemode)The problem I am having is that Msvcrt.dll is not shipped with the program, and from my research it is related to C++. The program is written in VB6 so I am confused.It could just be a coinsidence, but it only happens after the installation has told the user to restart the computer, so must be directly related to the installation. However, if the installation files were wrong or corrupt, NO installations would work correctly and we would have a problem on all of the PCs.

I have a vb.net application . I have added references of Ms Excel into the application.In my machine both vs and ms office are installed
Now I move my code to another machine where only vs was installed and not ms office . When I run the code from vs it works perfactly.
Now I make installer. I install it on my machine and it works
I also install it on another machine where ms office not installed and it does not work .
my question is why it is working when I am running from code and not when I am running from Installed shortcut ?
and should I need to install ms office also on the machine to run the application from Installation. ?

Using 2008 EXPRESS. I went to project properties and (1) renamed the assembly name and (2) the root namespace fields with my desired name. (But didn't rename the project).
NOW --When I took the setup disk to another computer, it "crashes" can't even post the warning it's trying to give. (Yet, it was fine when I left everything alone, the namespace and rootname that is).
All I wanted was a setup file with a name other than my project name.

I'm trying to add .lnk files to a setup project but am unsuccessful. I have 2 custom shortcuts that I created which link to a network share, but everytime I try to add them to the setup project in the users desktop or start menu, vs simply doesn't allow it. No message box or error box appears, I select the .LNK file to add and it "pretends" to add it and allows me to select it, but doesn't appear in the setup project folders.

Is it possible to make a setup and deployment project in VB.net 2008, every site i have looked at on google says to just select it from the project list. It isnt in the project list for me to select.Are these types of projects not available in the express version?How can I make an installer, other than using one of the setup and deployment projects? (I know there is a publish button, but that doesn't make a proper installer and installs to the appdata folder which is not what i want it to do)

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'm currently working on a project that populates a database with CAD document info from approx 20 engineers / draftsmen in an engineering office.I have the program functionality working on my computer. However, I would like to install this on the network and begin doing some addiitonal testing and debugging.
I'm unsure about the proper way to install the database and sql server express on the network. My program, which sends the info to the database, will be installed locally on each persons computer. Of course, the database file will be in a location on the network that everyone has access to.I'm assuming I should install the SQL Server Express on the network server as well. How do I setup the server for the SQL express?For example, when I installed it on my computer, the default server name was "Brian-HPSQLSERVER".How do I specify a new server name when installing the software?

The 'DefaultLocation' for my application is set to '[ProgramFilesFolder]MyApp'. Now I would like the user to select what drive to install this application to. I know this is accomplished through the 'Installation Folder Selection' dialog, but I want the user to be able to select a drive only, not the entire path.
My question is how do I capture what drive the user selected from the 'Installation Folder Selection' dialog and use that drive letter to tack on to my 'DefaultLocation' variable?
