As i understand. mac pc dun support exe files. If i have complied my system as exe how to allow it to run in MAC?? or is there any other format that i could convert to so that i can run my program in MAC?
View 2 RepliesI did Build a program and copied only the EXE file to USB drive. Tried to run it on different computers. XP computers had no problem running it. The ME and Win98 could not run the program since the MSCOREE.DLL was missing. I need to install something on those computers to enable them but there are security issues and patches. Is there anyway to make my program standalone?
View 5 RepliesI wrote a program that is a system tray app that has no user interface. The issue is that when you shutdown, log off, or restart the PC the app does not shutdown and the user has the "End Now" message box pop up.
The only thing running on this app is that it is listening to a port for communication.
I do not have any code in the form closing event as that is what I want just to close.
I have made an simple application (.exe). When i run this program local on my machine it works fine. When i run it from an server i get the system.security.securityexception message.
View 2 RepliesI am trying to get this: System.Deployment.Application.ApplicationDeployment.CurrentDeployment.IsFirstRun.But the application namespace is not there. I just see System.Deployment.Internal. The object browser, however, shows me all the properties and methods of that namespace, but my app can't see it.?

I have converted a Windows Forms VS2003 application to VS2005 and then to VS2008. It includes a setup project for deploying on the client computer (the regular installer, not click once). It works fine when I run it on my computer, either in VS or if I install using the setup installer. But when I install it on the client computer and then try to run it, I immediately get a System.InvalidOperation exception. I put in debug code before my code but it fails before it gets to any of my code. Both computers are XP. The client comptuter actually has VS2003, though it is not used.
I have tried it with either the 2.0 framework or the 3.5 framework (and included those as prerequisities) but neither makes a difference (and I did set that in the Launch conditions, as well as in the Advanced Compile Options). The application uses CrytalReports for VS.
I don't think I can run JIT debugging on the user computer due to permission issues. Are there any other debugging things I can try to narrow this down or has anyone encountered this.
I have the following code under a button labeled "Exit" for exiting my application. Code:Application.Exit()It has been working fine. I added a reference to System.Deployment and the compiler suddenly doesn't like Application.Exit(). Can I not use Application.Exit() and have a ref to System.Deployment at the same time? Upate: I got it. I used the Object Browser and found "System.Windows.Forms.Application.Exit" which works with System.Deployment referenced
View 2 Repliesi was under the impression that using the System.Data.OracleClient namespace will allow me to deploy my application without having the client machine install any OracleClient software besides the .Net Framework 2.0 which if i'm not mistaken, contains the System.Data.OracleClient.dll.
but after creating a WinForm application and then publishing it thru ClickOnce , i found myself getting this error when running the application on the client machine. is this a normal behavior or did i do something wrong in the process?
my program has a tray icon and i want it to show up in the system tray. so i went into my windows notification area and set it to show icon for my app. But when my app update to a new version with clickonce, it will think its a new app and i have to set it again. Is there a way that it will treat all new version as the same program and i dont have to keep setting it?
View 3 RepliesI 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]

View 1 RepliesWhile bored I started extracting all the methods and functions in my program and moving them to a module...just trying to practice the encapsulation I've been hearing so much about. While trying to move my print functions it raised a couple questions. The issue was the 'e' in e.marginbounds and e.Graphics not being recognized. I caught 'e not declared' errors as if the system was just interpreting it as some kind of new variable. I tried moving the 'e' to several places just to experiment and the only place it seems that the intellisense would pop up with anything worth displaying was in the printDocument_printPage event itself.
what the 'e' stands for in these functions anyhow? Is it similar to the 'Me' in a Me.Close() being that it's just meant to address what's immediately at hand? Is there a way around this localization of the printing code, maybe an import of something that would make the 'e' accessible again. Such as the 'Imports System.IO' for the streamreader and writer functions.
Currently use word automation to mail merge some documents and print etc. A stand alone PC manage this, which means that when the document gets sent to the print queue it always has an 'owner' of the name of the stand alone PC.
View 3 RepliesI have a 'project' that I'm currently using in excel. I would like to change it over into a stand alone app. I however am not a coder and have taken very limited coding classes. I know HTML, CSS, VB and some VB.net. My question is will it be easier to convert it to a web app or simply a desktop app? Why would one work better than another?
Here's some constraints.Not every intended user will have excel (thus my want/need to convert to stand alone). The data involved will come from 3 seperate databases/locations and will require archiving once a year. The data would be 'wrote' to the app upon opening - SQL queries.
The app would simply manipulate this data and provide reports. Nothing fancy except access to certain reports would be limited based on username. The 'interface' needs to look pretty. <Not my constraint but the PTB>.
They do not want/need a report generator <already tried to get them to go for crystal reports>, no funds available and users do not want to have to learn how to write good queries. <Yes, I have tried to get them to understand but they like what I currently have in excel>

I'm currently using Visual Studio 2010 to make a Visual Basic project. I'm trying to make a standard .EXE file for distribution but everytime I go to publish, I keep seeing it make a Click Once application.Is there a way to complete and build a project in VStudio 2010 without making it as a Click-Once application?
View 1 RepliesTwo separate but related questions about deploying a Visual Basic 2008 .net application:1. Click One installs in a cache under local data. The EXE launches from the cache even if not on-line. I don't want my users to have a runnable EXE left over in their cache after exiting the program. Is there a way to delete or disable the cache contents on close of app or equivalent?
2. My EXE uses an interop DLL. I want my EXE to be a single stand-alone file so that I don't have to copy both the EXE and the DLL to the user. Is there a compile setting to incorporate everything, includng the DLL, into the EXE.First question relates to Click Once Web deployment. Second question refers ONLY to ordinary COMPILE, not click-once.
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
I have a stand alone application "test.exe" on a Windows 7 operating system.I have an application "test.exe" made in Visual basic 8.0.I have an "Auto Update" function . Call this function from "test.exe". In the first line in "test.exe".This function does the following:
1. This checks whether the current version is older than the version on specific site, if so:
1a. Removed all *. old
1b. Rename test.exe to test.old
1c. dowload new test.exe
I'm afraid I get an error when I rename "test.exe" to "test.old" because "test.exe" is now active.How can I prevent this or what else should I do?
Is it possible to create a stand alone program with VB2010?
I mean, without any presence of an OS, the program will still work...
I'm tired of how to make my application stand-alone exe. I have created a small application console using C# in visual studio 2010, and I want to make it run on other computers with out having to install .net on that machines. and also make it just like notepad.exe with just click and it will run. I've read a lot of articles talking about netz or ILmerge.exe or mono which is so difficult to me to understand. and another question is how to know how many .net files or dll s that my application needs?
View 5 RepliesHave 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?

View 4 RepliesI am new convert from VB6 and needs some help developing a stand alone application in VB 2008 that needs access to stored data values.All applications I have developed so far have been for computers that have either SQL Express or Access installed locally on the computer. This has made development really easy since I could use ADO to access and query the data.
The application I am now developing will be installed on a computer that does not have any of the MS office applications and I do not want to install SQL Express on the computer. But I still would like to use an 'ADO type' functionality to access, query and modify the data stored in the system.I started looking into using XML, but I was unable to find much information on querying and modifying individual elements.
I am newbie programmer and I have one query for inventory control system. Initially I was planning to develop a stand-alone application, but then client added one more requirement. He wants his application should run on server, so that he can access it from anywhere in the world. Thus, I am unable to decide whether to go for stand-alone application or web application. How should I do it? How others do it?
