Can you create a string variable, that has 3 prespecified acceptable values?I need a variable that you can basically set it to one of three values and nothing else. Basically so you can't fat finger setting the variable in code.

View 3 RepliesThe file locations for a setup package using Standard Edition? I have added an .xls file to my project, marked it as Content and as Copy Always in the properties for that file. The XLS file I added to the project is from my user Apps folder in the Roaming sub folder. Other simple .TXT files are in my UserMy DocumentsData folder and each file is also maked as Content and Copy Always. When I create the setup package all goes well. I have a setup.exe and an .msi file. When I test it by installing it on my PC of course the program knows where the files are because it's my PC. In the program folder created as C:Program FilesMyProgram I find the .exe plus the XLS and TXT files, but these XLS and TXT files are not used from the program folder. How might I know if an installation made by another user on another PC elsewhere is going to load files in their user apps or user documents? I need to be sure that the additional data files deploy to the correct location (whatever I want that to be) on a remote PC.

View 5 RepliesI created a folder in the Solution Explorer. Now the program will need to access that folder. How can I access the folder? The folder in my solution explorer is named "Machines"I just can't seem to find a way to programmatically get there. Is it perhaps that this folder needs to be specified somewhere other than in the solution explorer? I looked at the references and went to Reference Path, but it looks like you can only specify a specific path, I would rather do it Dynamically depending on the install (I think my problem is in here somewhere). For that matter could it be that this folder won't be created untill the project is compiled
View 7 RepliesIm using vb 2010 Express. I use 'Application settings' to store "demo version exp. date" of my program. My program stores the settings in "C:UserslenovoAppDataLocalMicrosoftWindowsApplication1.exe_Url_fbujq51flndh1ui4t4442ohpvlebhwej" folder.But when user copies the exe program and pastes it to another folder, the settings folder changes. I mean when user copies and pastes the exe program to another folder, the program starts to store the the settings in
"C:UserslenovoAppDataLocalMicrosoftWindowsApplication1.exe_Url_zywjz0o2tyrcmd35h5j1fdq0lplbklwc"
(Different than the first address). This causes the exp date to change everytime user copy-pasts the program.. Is there any way to specify where to store the settings? I mean when the program starts i want to store the settings always in "C:UserslenovoAppDataLocalMicrosoftxxxx" folder.

This is a messy way of updating my application but I don't have much other way I can think of doing it. Here is the background information:
My app does not use ClickOnce or any deployment other than just copy/paste the files into a zip and uploading on the web My app has a "update check" form which checks for strings on my website to compare current version with a newer version
Now basically, it downloads correctly. Nothing about that is the problem. I use My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile to do so.
Currently, the user downloads and has to REPLACE the file. Its not an update, its just an "updated" application. I'm not fully sure how I will go about proceding this later, but currently I'm trying to do the first part of my pseudocode below. Which is to get the application's path so that I can "replace" it later programmatically so that it performs a "auto-update".
Pseudocode of what I am trying to accomplish (anything in bold is what I'm trying to accomplish that I haven't already done):
Get folder path of application Download the app update with My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile download Extract this updated folder and replace the contents with the current folder path of the application.
I have the download aspect complete. As far as this question goes, how do I get the folder and replace the contents? As far as extraction though, what are your thoughts on the best method to extract and then replace?
