I double click Setup Wizard and I get: "Catastrophic failure (exception from HRESULT: 0x8000FFFF (E_UNEXPCTED)" I've googled a lot of references and read through them but none of them seem to be applicable to my case.

I am getting an error when trying to move my ASP.NET application from VS2010 to our IIS 6.0 webserver. The error happens on the first time the app tries to make a new SQLXMLCommand Object on the login page. When navigating to the login page and entering valid credentials I got an error saying a null reference exception was thrown. Investigating into the exception we were able to determine another exception was being thrown and caught, causing the null reference exception later in the code.
The Corresponding line of code throwing the exception:
New SqlXmlCommand(conn.ConnectionString & ";Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;")
The exception causing the problems below:
Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {83D0FC3E-8B31-4B35-A1B2-346BA3954514} failed due to the following error: 80040154 Class not registered (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040154 (REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG))."
[code]....
Looking further into the problem, the exception is only thrown on the Web Server. No exception is thrown if I am using localhost. I though I may be missing a reference to Microsoft.Data.SqlXml.dll as it was working localhost and not on the webserver. I tried fixing this by included the dll reference in my deployment project and making sure it was added to the bin folder, but with no avail.
Edit:SQLXML 4.0 was not installed on our webserver, it was part of the baseline installation of my machine.
I Have a BIG problem. I make applications on Visual basic 2010 and of course use clickonce. when another computer wants to install an application (From the mediafire in a ZIP folder) the user extracts the folder, launches either the "Setup" or the ClickOnce application and then selects install and the following error message appears:
"Unable to install or run the application. The Application requires thaat assembly Microsoft.VisualBasic.Powerpacks.Vs Version 10.0.0.0 be installed in the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) First. Please contact your system anministrator."
When i am running my application on my machine at that there is no problem but when i am running on diffrant machine at the time login failed is occurring

View 1 RepliesI am not an expert in using vb.net, but I am trying to make my vb.net project accessible to others. I've done it before (about 5 years ago) with another program. This program is basically the same just for a different product line for us. I have all the files on a server. I published everything to a directory on the server...the directory is in the same spot as the other directory. I checked all of my project properties and have now made sure they are the same as my other project. The publishing works fine. But, when I try to run the setup.exe or the .application file, I an error message that pulls up a log file. I've looked all over and found similar log files, but no solution that seemed to work. Here is what the log file is telling me. Any help would be great. I am thinking it is something simple...remember I am not an expert. And, I know I got the other one to work a few years ago when I moved it from visual basic 6.0 to vb.net. I am using Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition to work with my project.

Do I need netframework 3.5 ?
All,I seem to have stumbled upon a ClickOnce error that stops me from auto-updating. When I Deploy my program using ClickOnce it publishes to the specified location and installs just fine. I can run my program no problem if I activate it from the start menu. However, I have code that registers the program as the default to open a specific file type. Naturally, I want my user to be able to double click on the file type of my choice and have my program open like normal. All-in-All this works.
The problem arises because I need my program to check for updates before loading my program, much like it does when I open the program from the start menu (I set the auto-update check within the ClickOnce options). However, this check does NOT run when the user double-clicks a file type to run my program, it merely skips this step and opens the program. So first I tried to find a way to run the Update manually through code, what I cam up with was this: [Code]
I have developed a windows based application using visual studio 2005 called DMS. On the client side, this application runs on asp dot net framework 2.0. We have created its setup file which has to be installed on the client pc. After the installation of the application, some of the users get the error message as:
DMS.exe - .net framework initiation error Unable to find a version of the runtime to run this application
(I have also attached the screen shot of the error message.)Trouble shooting done by me:
a. I had tried the re-install Dot Net Framework 2.0.
b. Scanned the PC for virus attack.
c. Install dot net framework 2.0 first and then the application.
But none of the solution works. The only thing that works temporarily is un-install the whole application and re-install it. Then it works for a few hours.

I installed the latest version of Toad yesterday. When I restarted Visual Studio 2008, the project that is my installation package for my application would not longer load. The message I get in the output window is "The Visual Basic Deploy Deployment Package ({CCD045E8-6236-4B3D-B820-97F7DD14C77C}) did not load because of previous errors." When I try to reload that project, I get the following error: " The operation could not be completed. No such interface supported" I tried to repair the VS installation, but that originally failed. The Deployment folder under Common7Tools was currupted so I ran check disk. A few bad files and clusters were found and corrected and the second run of check disk ran clean. I uninstalled Visual Studio and then reinstalled it, but am still getting the same error. I tried reinstalling .Net 3.5 before the reinstall of VS as well. I tried creating a new installation project, but that failed as well.
View 1 RepliesI am trying out the Visual Studio 2008 Standard Edition Setup and Deployment - Setup Wizard on a very simple VB 2008 app which includes a simple SQL Express dB. The build works fine and it installs on the target system ok. But when I go to run the application and add a new record for example, I get a "read-only" error indicating that the sql db is read-only. Yet none of the files in the folder are read-only. What is odd is that the folder that it was installed into "acts" like it is read only, yet it is not identified as such. If I move the .exe and db files out of that folder, (onto the desktop for example) it works just fine. Should I set up a post build event or something to make

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'm getting this error when I deploy a VB.NET application and for the life of me I cannot figure out why.I do not get this error when I run the app from the IDE and the test machine I am deploying it to has a similar configuration to the dev machine...Windows 7 & .NET 3.51 SP1 and 4.0.The app bombs out when the main form is loaded after logging in. I've narrowed it down to the main form because if I load another form from login and then open the main form, this happens.

I am using a SQL Server database in my project, I don't know if it has anything to do with that..
I began setting up a TeamCity server a couple days ago for use in automated testing and CI. We mainly do VB.net web apps and up until now, it had been checking out things and building just fine.
A problem came up when I tried to add actual deployment into the mix. I saw this article: [URL]
referenced all over the place as a good guide, so I followed the steps relating to setting up a Web Deployment project and rigging TeamCity to run it. Basically, it recommends setting up a new build configuration in VS2010 called "Deployment" which builds the Web Deployment project, then creating a build configuration in TC that targets it.
The issue is that the web deployment project won't compile when run under TeamCity. The regular build works just fine, but if I set MSBuild to use the build configuration that includes the Web Deployment project, it crashes halfway through and gives an error about attempting to load the System.Data.OracleClient assembly in an incorrect format. I assume this means a 32-bit/64-bit error, especially since my development machine is a 32-bit box, and the build server is 64, but I don't know why this is happening, especially when the regular build works, and nothing in my project involves using an Oracle database.
I saw in the log that there's a warning about missing reference assemblies for the 4.0 framework, so I headed off to the MS website and downloaded the SDK, but that didn't change anything. At this point, I'm stuck, and I didn't see anything already here on Stack Overflow that looked quite like this. I'll attach the log below. Have I missed something simple?

I have decided to try and engage creating my first app with a database. I have run through all the VB Express 2010 default tutorials and feel confident to move up one notch.My application on has two users and we do not have a server, just a file sharing setup which works okay if youre using MS Access DB. I have also constructed the app with a Service based DB attached to the project (VB Express 2010)I have spent a week trying to research this on Google but cannot find any specific answers to my questions.So, how do I setup the app prior to publishing so that I can install the app on both desktops and have SQL server installed on only one of the desktops with the DB residing on that?
View 5 RepliesI am basically an EAI consultant and for my work I took an initiative to develop a windows based GUI whose functionality would be to simply execute a couple of Oracle SELECT queries and display the results in the form. I took the help of my friend who is a VB.NET expert and he was kind enough to develop the complete code for me within a day (He isn't available now). The application did work fine and we tried to package into an MSI using the Deployment & Packaging Project option. Now when I installed the application on a different computer, it throws OraOps10.dll not found ! I also tried the Setup Wizard from the same Deployment & Packaging Project option but it results in the same error.
Please note the following:
-> We used .NET 1.1 and the backend database is Oracle 10g.
-> We downloaded the Oracle Data Access components for .NET from Oracle's website. The DLL file in the error message actually came with this installation.
When I am packaging the solution, I expected all the dependencies including this OraOps10.dll should have also been packaged. What could go wrong here? I don't think I can request my customer to install the Oracle Data Access components for .NET, in this case we don't even need a packaging feature. I would be grateful to you guys if this silly issue is fixed very soon.
I installed VB2008 Express a few days ago and have written a small program. When trying to deploy this I'm having problems that it's only working on some PC's, but not on others. At first I thought it may be something in my program, but I've been doing some tests and I'm noticing that ALL programs don't work on some PC's.
To do the most basic test possible, I opened VB, started a new app called 'Test' and without doing ANYTHING I published the application to Test On the PC which wrote the program and on a friend's PC, it works fine. But on this PC and on another friend's PC, as soon as I hit the 'Run' button I get a XML page (pasted below).As I say, the program has NOTHING in it, it's just an empty form.Forgot to add one thing, when trying to deploy via disk earlier on this PC, the installer DID install both Windows Installer and also the latest .net. I've also had a guy on another forum who can't run from my webpage, even though he's a VB user.
XML page that comes up when I hit 'Run' reads as follows.
