the issue is that customactions class in my VB 2010 code, correctly configured, does not start the program after installation, neither sets the autorun, it seems that subroutine OnAfterInstall isn't invoked at all.
Note that process termination before installation (for upgrading purpose) eventually works.
I have a project that i have created in Visual Studio express and SQL server express. i want to create an install file so that i can send to others to install. Currently it is requiring the user to install SQL server Express and 3.5 .net framework.what steps can i take to stop the user having to install these 2 so that it is a simple install for them.
I'm looking to make a simple install wizard to install my program (I know Visual Studio 2010 already has an installer) but anyway, I would like to make it myself, kind of line reinvent the wheel?
While trying to install my application, when system tries to install .Net Framework, it gives an error.Is there any source where I could download uninstalled .Net Framework 3.0 and provide my clients with application?
Is it possible to install VS 2010 first,then install VS2008?i am asking this because in many cases(specially while installing the O.S) i see that after installing the higher version the lower version of O.S cant be installed....and if want to install linux then it might be installed after installing all the windows O.S starting from xp,then vista,then win7 and finally fedora 12..
my vb experience is fairly limited - I've only used it when supporting legacy applications or for small tasks so apologies if what I'm asking seems simple. I wrote a small vb install script which creates a new folder on a users desktop, copies over relevant files from the install folder to the users new folder and creates a shortcut on the users desktop.
This works great for giving stuff to QA to test. However, there's one dll included in the install folder which is also in the users GAC. The code looks in the GAC first for this dll and only looks in the install folder if none exists in the GAC.
What I want to do is include a line in my install script to copy this dll to the users GAC as well as copying it to the installation folder.Is there anyway to do this in VB? I did find the following on one of the MS sites for installing into the GAC gacutil /i a.dll
Is it possible to run this through VB or is there a cleaner way of doing this?
For some time ago i have notice that my App on every start make a call to csc.exe and starts it. I know for sure that that did not happened before and I can not find out why this is happening now, or better to say: what did I do in code to make this happened? I have google-it and found out that csc.exe is some kind off on-the-fly compiler for C# (If I understand it correctly ) but my App is in VB.net so I am a bit confused. Can someone explain it to me in general what have I did in my VB.NET code to make my App on every start calls csc.exe?

I am a student trying to create a program in VB that starts out with a penny pay for the first day, two pennies the second day, four pennies the third day etc. There is a drop down box that the user picks a day of the month. The program calculates to that day of the month. I am not asking for the code, I need help understanding how the counter initializes and stops on the day the user clicks on.

I have a VB solution in Visual Studio 2010 which is a year or so old. In the last couple of months a very strange thing has started happening - when I open the solution, it starts debugging immediately. Has anyone got any idea why this might be happening and how it can be prevented as its really annoying?
How can I make my app perform an event (in this case updating) on the first run, and every five starts after that? So on the first, then the fifth, then the tenth etc. I know I could do it by adding 1 to a settings variable every startup, but I can't figure out how to check if it is a multiple of five. Or is there a better way?
I host a few servers for different games as my hobby, I tried to make an application that would make it easier to control the servers. Should be really easy for people who has spent more time with vb then I did,This would be the interface of the application, on the textbox below the buttons is where I can specify the patch to the application that starts the server.I tried using the following lines of code, but they don't seem to be working:
Public Class Form1 Private Sub GMODStart_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles GMODStart.Click Dim GMOD As String = Me.txtGMOD.Text System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(GMOD) End Sub
