I would like to know how to create/add a folder when installing the application using the Setup and Deployment in VB.net.
I have tried [TARGETDIR][USERNAME], but the target folder name that gets created seems its adding the Domain nameUsername, and this is where it stops where it only created the folder with the Domain Name.

View 1 RepliesOk, basically, I need to know what the current hard drive letter that the current user is using, along with the user's name, followed by Music. When using the command prompt, we can use a simple code that is just %currentuser%Music but, I guess Visual Basic is a bit more complicated. Haha.
If you're curious why I need this, it is because I am making a program for my company to help backup our music and documents from their computers before we get new computers.
When using the code above in the command prompt in Windows, you would get something like: C:UsersRobertMusic, but this does not work for Visual Basic 2008.
My current operating system is Windows 7. I can supply more information if needed.
I have a program load the saved folder (from last use) into a textbox, now, user click browse button, it launch the folder browse dialog, I can use selectedpath to set selected folder, but most of time, the folder is deep in the c:, so, the folder browser dialog window does not show it, user has to scroll down to find it.is there a way to automatically show the selected folder in the view?

View 1 RepliesSo I've been using some code to generate directories and such in a custom treeview, but am looking to expand upon this idea. While it's not using recursive functions, and only calls functions when expanding levels, I'm not quite sure how to put some of these together.find a way to just search through all folders on the PC. If the folder contains audio files, that folder is than added to an array (searching a folder for audio files and adding that folder to an array is done). It's just recursivly searching all folders on the PC.Here is the code I've been using for the treeview (I'm not sure if it can be adapted):
Public Function ListAllDrives() As String()
Dim arDrives() As String
arDrives = Directory.GetLogicalDrives()[code].....

View 4 RepliesI (through a ton of help from everyone here at stack-o) have created a small WCF which is hosted as a Windows service using TCP..Last question for this little bugger; it's time for deployment. In my solution, there are 3 projects. One is the Windows service, another is the imported WCF, and finally a setup project I added for install.I can install/uninstall the service on my machine by going in the solution directory and finding "Setup.exe" or "Setup.msi". Executing either from explorer will install the service on my development box.Now there are a few directories associated with this solution. I'm betting that simply copying setup.exe or setup.msi to my target server and trying to run it will bomb out. How can I find out exactly which files/folder I will need to copy over for deployment?Or should I just copy the entire solution directory? That will be a little difficult for my coworkers as the setup routines are nested in directories 5 deep.

The 'DefaultLocation' for my application is set to '[ProgramFilesFolder]MyApp'. Now I would like the user to select what drive to install this application to. I know this is accomplished through the 'Installation Folder Selection' dialog, but I want the user to be able to select a drive only, not the entire path.
My question is how do I capture what drive the user selected from the 'Installation Folder Selection' dialog and use that drive letter to tack on to my 'DefaultLocation' variable?
