View 3 RepliesWe are using ClickOnce Technology to deploy our applications using In Place Hosting Manager.I install Ver 1.0.0.0 for an application XYZ. More upgrades happen and I install till Ver 1.0.0.7. At this point the minimum required version is set to Ver 1.0.0.5. But,now I want to move back to Ver 1.0.0.3.Will In Place Hosting Manager install Ver 1.0.0.3 though we don't change the minimum required version? My motive is to only change the location of deployment manifest and keep on jumping across versions(Up and Down).
View 1 RepliesI'm making a program that takes common applications and installs them silently using batch files. Someone would select the programs they would want to install and my program will write a giant batch file and execute it to install whatever they want. Heres the problem, After the user selects the programs they go into either one or two lists. Non Silent Installer List Or Silent installer list.
Some programs I have simply won't go silently so from there they can choose in what order they want to install these programs. Then there is a combo box that tells weather you want to install non silent programs first or last. From there you hit add to batch file and it would add everything in listbox1 and listbox2 in order. Listbox1 would contain just the text "MalwareBytes" for example. Along with Novell Groupwise and Firefox. How do I get that to add to the Batch List as a code and in order? So the user wants Malware bytes added first to the batch file. How do I add that to my batch list as a completely different code?

View 8 RepliesUsing: VB 2008 Express?I created an application that connects to my MySQL, and everything works fine, but...
1. On my development computer, Windows 7, 64bit, I add the MySQL.data.dll file as a reference. I publish the program, run the setup.exe, and sucess.
2. I then copy my published folder to my test computer, Windows Vista 32 bit, and upon running the setup, the program fails to work because it cannot find the Mysql reference.
3. I then transfer my entire project over to my Vista computer, publish the program, run the setup.exe, and sucess.
4. I finally found out what was happening. My Windows 7 comptuer was not including MySql.Data.dll.deploy file in the Application Files published directory; but when I compiled it on the Vista machine this MySql.Data.dll.deploy was included.
So, in the end, I cannot compile the program on Windows 7, because it fails to create the .deploy file, and use it on Vista or XP (for some reason Win7 doesn't need this .deploy file?); but I can publish it on the Vista machine and install it fine on Windows 7, Vista, or XP. My targe CPU setting is Any computer.
I've created a Setup project (in VB.Net 2008 Standard Edition) and I need to deploy some .rtf files in a specific folder for the user to edit. I've added these files to the project as content files but the Setup project installs them in Program File/MyApp along with the exe. As these rtf files need to be found easily by the user I need to specify a different folder on the hard drive. These are not mdb or xls files so are not used by the app itself. All the user needs to do is find them manually loading them into MS Word for editing. I don't need to load MS Word from the app, but I do need to deploy them so the user has access to them. How do I edit the file path so it does not bury them in Common Files or the User App Data or app folder itself? Ideally, since these are rtf files they could go in My Documents. (The app itself will work whether or not these files exist elsewhere.)

View 1 RepliesI am trying to deploy my first application using vb. I have tried to use the one click but here is my problem.
I have a group of data files, some *.txt and one access data base (*.dbf) that I need to have placed in a folder (that is created) located at c:monitor.

I am trying to deploy my program from vb 2008 express edition into the CD using ClickOnce but it has no progress at all and will take a long time when you run the setup.exe to another computer and in the end it will just pops-up an error. I have followed the proper setup procedure on how to publish the program into the CD with ClickOnce and was able to successfully published it along with all necessary prerequisites and supporting files.But when you open the setup.exe from the CD using other computer,it won't deploy the program into that computer and will just display a window which gives you 3 buttons saying Details,Retry,Cancel saying such error after downloading the required files.Does it matter if my OS is Vista and the computer where I'm deploying the program is using XP?What could have been the possible cause for this problem?How could I possibly resolve this issue?

View 3 RepliesI've looked around and I haven't found anything that fits my needs.I wish for the program to be able to intercept the Win32 (?) messages that are being sent to my own application, which is written in Visual Basic.As a side note, is "intercept the Win32 messages" the correct phrasing?Either way, an elaboration won't hurt; I wish for the spy tool to intercept the same messages that I would programmatically intercept with WndProc, i.e: the SendMessages and PostMessages.
I wish to make it clear that I am not seeking a program that intercepts the .NET framework events.

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to create a COM User Defined Function automation add in for Excel 2003/2007/2010 and create a setup program that will install the add-in without the error message "Cannot find add-in 'mscoree.dll'. Delete from list?" occurring when the automation add-ins added to excel. This error occurs when running the setup program on PCs other than the development PC.
Using this example by Eric Carter combined with this Stack overflow answer. I have tried both methods of registering both the custom dll and mscoree.dll. Solutions for this problem are well described in both of those links however neither the registry edit of the setup program described in the stackoverflow link nor the code from the other link that should register mscoree.dll works for me when installing with a setup project on another PC (64 bit Windows 7 PC not used for building the program). (In fact the last comment on the Stack overflow link is a person with the exact same problem that I am describing here.) The add-in does work, I just want to prevent the error message.
