Deployment :: Deployment Of SQLEXPR32.EXE Using Template.ini File
Feb 24, 2009
I am deploying sql express as a prerequisite. I have created a custom prerquisite using bootstrap manifest generator. The problem I have is replacing the template.ini file which exists in the sqlexpr32.exe cab file. Winrar and winzip allow me to open the sqlexpr32.exe but will not allow me to edit, add or replace the template.ini.I also cannot find the path where the sqlexpr32.exe extracts to as I want to use that path for the settings file eg "template.ini".[code]

I have a windows app that uses the shape control which is part of the MS power pack and requires Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.Vs.dll. I am using Publish to build my app and I have tried to change the dll to Include in the properties page but nothing seems to work.
I need a way to have the file included and I am unable to find a external copy and I understand that I cannot just copy the dll from my PC into the installation folder

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've just completed my first VB.Net program and I want to publish it as a stand-alone program. When I use the "Publish" function from the Project menu, it creates an installation program that is required to complete before I can use the program freely. Is it possible to just make a program that will run without needing to "install" it?

I have a relatively simple application that takes in some variables and exports it into a Excel spreadsheet. The Excel sheet is included in the project and copy to output is set to always. The sheet is referenced in code by [CODE]Dim strPath As String = System.Environment.CurrentDirectory & "Quote Template.xls"[/CODE]When I use one-click publishing though, the Excel workbook doesn't copy to application folder and as a result installed application doesn't work.

I'm brand new to this forum. i have a question. i wrote some software a while back and now have a few new features I need to implement. this software currently makes use of "application settings" to store all of it's settings. Which works just fine.
I have a client that has about 40 users. He wants to be able to share his settings (that he set up in his copy of the software) with all of users. Preferably by distributing a copy of a config file that they would be able to import into there software.

I've used VB2008EE to create a Windows Forms app which includes a Help form. The helpform contains a Treeview for navigation and a WebBrowser control which displays the relevant part of an HTML page containg the help information.The app is intended to be used offline - so I need to include the HTML page file as part of the published app, and I need to be able to specify where this HTML file will be installed on the target computer so that the URI in my Helpform which loads the Help page will locate this file.
(I expect the HTML file should live in the directory pointed to by the:
My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.CurrentUserApplicationData property)
how to specify the Project settings and Publish Wizard etc. (& whatever else is necessary) in order to achieve the above.

I have a windows project completed and am using an MDI with a help menu.So now I'm working with a click once deployment.When the user clicks help, it should load an .HTM file, but instead, when installed on the client it gets a "page cannot be displayed error".
I created the file in word. Saved as an .HTM. along with it came the images folder. I placed it in the bin/debug folder. I've made sure all the images and the .HTM files are set to Build Action = content and Copy Always. These files are copied out to the deployment website. It shows as "required(auto)" under appication settings, publish. Everything else in the deployment works nicely, including Crystal Reports and Powerpacks.So what is going wrong with this?The help is a windows form with a browser control on it and the following code.Note that the Catch on the Try doesnt kick in either on the client.
Private Sub Help_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

I have a program that outputs a file. I want the user to be able to just double-click the output file and launch the program, just like Word and Excel. In Word for instance, one doesn't necessarily have to open WORD then click on File--> Open and locate another Word doc. He can just go to the folder and open the Word doc. I want to implement the exact scenario in my program.
So far I have tried creating TextFile and added it to the Resources. On FormLoading, I simply I stream-read the Resouce file, but I can't write to the Resource on FormClosing, since the Resource is ReadOnly. Also, the Resource is built & compiled so I suppose you can't add anything to it at run time.How you lunch an output file without launching the Executable program that created it?

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?

I 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.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
- <asmv1:assembly xsi:schemaLocation="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1 assembly.adaptive.xsd" manifestVersion="1.0" xmlns:asmv3="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3" xmlns:dsig="http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#" xmlns:co.v1="urn:schemas-microsoft-

I have an app that gets installed into the Program Files folder (in its own folder of course). It has a small access mdb file to which I write some data. I'm able to read the data fine, but the app won't write to the db unless I run it as an administrator and always gives an error.
