if we need to install ClickOnce application on client's computer, if we need to run a setup file made with ClickOnce?
Also, when we publish, how can we specify if we want to use ClickOnce or Windows installer?
Do we need to have .NetFrameWork Installed on Client's computer, if we make setup by using ClickOnce technology?
View 1 RepliesI have my main project file. I added another solution within it. So BOTH solutions are under the MAIN project file. I can use a custom setup file, and all that other fun stuff, coupled with the 'Check for updates' via Clickonce.
IF i were to use the clickonce setup file..is there a way to have both programs be in the SAME programs folder on the start menu?
My application requires access to be installed on the computer or at least the MS Access runtime. Is their a way to include that with the application to check for that component/resource or install it if it isn't? Or would it just be easier to include a link to tell the user where to get the runtime if the error happens? I am using Visual Studio 2008 and the windows form app is written in VB.net. I am currently using click once for the deployment.

Welcome to the All-In-One Code Framework! If you have any feedback,
if I use a third party distribution application like Setup2Go etc. to make my setup files, will my application run properly on user's computer?I mean how the required system files and dll files shall be included into my setup.exe?Does user need anything install, prior to my application's installation?

View 16 RepliesI am using VS 2008 VB and setup my application software in Win XP without any issue. But after installed in Win 7, it doesn't work well (it show one file not found, but I saw the file in the right folder). Could it be the incompatibility of VS 2008 and Win 7? If I upgrade to VS 2010, will the issue be fixed?

View 6 RepliesI'm a Visual Basic beginner. There are many things that I didn't know about Windows software development as I've been a Mac user for 20 years and just started developing Windows programs several days ago.
Anyway, using Visual Studio Installer (File > Add > New Project > Visual Studio Installer), I have two files inside the Release folder - setup.exe and Setup.msi. I've got some information about these files. So when you publish your software, what do you do with these two files? According to one web site, you can put them together into one with IExpress, which produces a file with an extension of CAB. Another web site suggests SFX Compiler. In the meantime, I downloaded a dozen applications at Download.com earlier. If I click on the download button, the final delivery extension is .exe on most of them. I know that you won't go anywhere by double-clicking on setup.exe from the Release folder without Setup.msi. Meanwhile, Setup.msi is a tand-alone application. But nobody uses this file alone to distribute their product.
I've finally got a project compiled and tested and ready to roll out.I have discovered that the "Publish" option is not what it seems, and that we must create a separate "Setup Project" to carry out the task of installing the files.This is not the most intuitive process I've seen, and the online help on that subject is not easy to understand.I was hoping that someone could direct me to a tutorial or guide that would step me through the specific approach I need. Many of the other guides online are vague and address multiple scenarios and do not separate the approaches very well.I have the contents of my project in /bin/release. It runs nicely by iteself with no errors.Here's what I need:
1. To create a setup exe that I can distribute that will install my software, with all of the supporting (resource) files and folders.
2. I need the setup process to force the installer to "agree" to a EULA.
3. I'd would like to provide an image on the installation screen/popup.
4. I would like the software registered in the registry and rely on it being there in the registry.
5. I need it to default to program filesprojectname (it does by default)

Setup and deploy for my project worked fine for a while allowing you to install my program and uninstall the old version, but now it installs two entries. I don't get it, before I got it do do that it would give an error that it needed to be uninstalled first. Now like I said I get two entries in the programs uninstall window. RemovePreviousVersions = true. I change the version number and update the product code. Even tried changing the upgrade code. I just don't get why it doesn't work anymore, and its really annoying! Also, is there a way that the setup file can just be one .exe rather then a setup file and a data file?

View 2 RepliesI have an old ClickOnce program, which has been replaced by a new one I wrote, and I am aware that some people are still using the old one.I want to somehow remotely remove it from every computer where it is still being used (there are far too many to manually find them).

When I install my .NET 3.5 sp1 WPF application through ClickOnce on WinXP I get this error: "Cannot continue. The application is improperly formatted. Contact the application vendor for assistance."
Installing .NET 3.5 manualy on the machine solves both problems so it is clear that they both complain about the missing .NET 3.5 that's needed by the app. But why doesn't the ClickOnce installer bootstrap the .NET 3.5 and automaticaly intall it if needed? I set it as a prerequisite but it seems to be ignored. And why is this error so much more criptic and unhelpfull in WPF?

View 3 RepliesI am trying to deploy a ClickOnce app. It had worked previously when the server was just sitting with .Net 2.0 installed (no SP). Recently the server had 3.5SP1 installed on it and now ClickOnce is failing with the error:Value does not fall within the expected range inside System.Deployment.
Here is the information posted on the MSDN forums (answers there are generally hit or miss for me) with the call stack:It was in VS 2005 w/SP1 and I tried changing the path I publish to, changing the installation URL, changing the assembly name, manually controlling versions, running mage -cc, manually removing all application data in %userprofile%AppDataLocalApps and even changing deployment servers completely but still get the same error:

VB.NET application which allows user to split a file in smaller files. However the stand alone executable of the application,had a permission problem using filestream to read a file without an OutOfMemory exception, while selecting to split locatein certain directories like "C:".To solve the problem i checked My Project window and the "Security" tab, and i tried checking the checkbox: "Enable ClickOnce Security Setting" and selecting "fulltrust application". This added to my app.manifest these lines of code:
<applicationRequestMinimum>
<defaultAssemblyRequest permissionSetReference="Custom" />
<PermissionSet class="System.Security.PermissionSet" version="1" Unrestricted="true"

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."
Im trying to deploy an application by using clickonce and having some difficulties with it. In a class i have this function
Private AD As ApplicationDeployment
Private updateCheck As UpdateCheckInfo
Public Function SoftwareUpdate() As Boolean

When i create my code on a form (to run the function above) i receive the error "Object not set to an instance" I try to add New to my declaration but then receive the error "Application Deployment has no constructors". Im not sure what im doing wrong or how i should go about this.it does not go past the line AD = ApplicationDeployment.CurrentDeployment i decided to leave the remaining code
This is my first time using this ClickOnce thing (not liking it) howver I'm attempting to setup a file association. I added my extension to the project properties - publish - options - file associations screen and once I publish and install it associates to the file. Double clicking the file opens my application however I can't manage to get the path for the file in my application.I used to just use the command property but that seams to work fine in debug mode does nothing from the ClickOnce file.I tried useing My.Application.Deployment.ActivationUri.ToString as one site I found suggested but that just crashed my program.Try as I might I just can't find a useful explenation or example on how to get that file name into my program so I can open it.
