View 2 RepliesI am trying to figure out where to place a code that would cause an application to always delete a database file ONLY when being installed. However, it should not delete this file after installation I.e. when being used. I know you can use: If File.exists() Then File.delete(). But where do you place this code sothat it does not Delele the file when being run? I have tried this but it copies a new file everytime I run the application and data is lost.

View 1 RepliesI have an excel file with few macros written in VB language..
Now I want to create an installation file that will install this Excel file onto clients machine at a predefined (or user chosen) location just how a normal installation file works.. I also want the user to put a serial code that will be validated (don't know how)..

View 4 RepliesI am writing a small visual basic application to install clean up tools quickly on any machines that we need to work on here at my workplace. I am using 4-5 cleanup programs that I have packaged into MSI's and have batch scripts that I am calling in my visual basic application to run them as silent installs. However, because I am doing the silent installs, windows always pops up with the "open file - security warning" and I have to click run for each individual program. I am wondering how to get around this from my end within the application. I know it can be disabled in windows but I am not wanting to have to go through a process on every machine that I run this program on. I would like to find a fix on the back end in my script.

I've published my application for installation via CD or DVD. I installed it on my machine and it worked fine. I have a couple of questions, I couldn't find the answer to in the GUI. First, when the application is installed, it immediately launches. Can I make something in the installation where a user can click a checkbox saying launch after install? If not, how can I disable the application from launching after the install. And secondly, the application is installed, a desktop shortcut is created, and the application is added to the programs on the start menu. How would I add an uninstall link in the program menu along with the icon to launch the application? Currently I have to go to the control panel add remove programs to remove the application.
