Deployment Not Working On Some PC's?
Aug 31, 2009
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 created a program that I am testing for my company. The program works fine except when I try to print the report, I get an error. The Print feature works fine in the debugger on my computer, but when I publish the application and install it on another machine, then they cannot view/print. In fact, it will not even open the Print Form with the Crystal Reports Viewer.
I have an input Form where you add data to the database. When you hit the "Print Button", it is supposed to open another form with the Crystal Reports Viewer where you can view/print the data. I get the error right when I hit the button and the form won't open. Like I said, it works perfect in the debugger on my computer.
Here is the error - Unhandled Exception has occurred in your application. Could not load file or assembly 'CrystalDecsisons.Windows.Forms, VERSION=10.5.3700.0 CULTURE=Neutral PublicKeyToken = 62fbea5521e1304 or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

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?

It appears that my favorite thing in the world is tackling projects that are beyond my current knowledge and abilities. I have a little project that I am working on which is a simple image viewer stocked with (upon completion) your standard Load..., Next/Previous, Zoom In/Out, Actual Size, and Full Screen capabilities. However, I am running into a few snags:
(1) I've been able to get my "Load..." button to display a file dialog box, but I cannot seem to get a working filter (with which only image file types are allowed to be selected) in working order.
(2) I have a PictureBox object (entitled PictureBox1) that displays the image selected via the file dialog box, but it loads images in their full size (1:1/100% zoomed) state without scrollbars, etc. to allow me to navigate the loaded image. I would like to have it load the image, initially, to fit within the dimensions of PictureBox1 and from there be able to zoom in/out via my "Zoom In/Out" and "Actual Size" buttons and be able to scroll if the zoom level is beyond the dimensions of PictureBox1.
(3) It dawned on me that I haven't the faintest idea how to get my "Next/Previous" buttons to allow the user (me) to navigate, in succession, the images contained in the folder in which the currently loaded image is stored. [code]
If it is deemed that this thread is inappropriately requesting help, I ask that it be locked/deleted quickly as I recognize that this is a large community with many discussions going without need of unwelcome posts.

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 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.

I want to deploy a vb.net Windows application (from my computer) to a computer with IIS installed on it. Users can use IE to browse to the deployment web site to install the application. Problem is that web server refuses to allow the deployment, it keeps asking for the authentication...user name and password. I tried all user names and passwords on that machione and it still will not allow the deployment.

I am working on a Project which uses SQL Server,Crystal Report. And the project is almost complete and i am going to publish it.Now I dont want to add the Prerequisites for the project as it will make the size of the exe to some 400mb but my application exe is just 4mb.
Now currently i have seen something in the Reference Section of Project Properties.That is the dll Control that i am using for Buttons has the Column called Copy Local with a value of True but for CrystalDecission.Shared its just False, so is this value changing to True helps me or not... that is i should not have to include as Prerequisites for crystal report..

I am trying to deploy a ClickOnce app. It had worked previously when the server was just sitting with .Net 2.0 installed (no SP). Recently the server had 3.5SP1 installed on it and now ClickOnce is failing with the error:Value does not fall within the expected range inside System.Deployment.
Here is the information posted on the MSDN forums (answers there are generally hit or miss for me) with the call stack:It was in VS 2005 w/SP1 and I tried changing the path I publish to, changing the installation URL, changing the assembly name, manually controlling versions, running mage -cc, manually removing all application data in %userprofile%AppDataLocalApps and even changing deployment servers completely but still get the same error:

I've developed a Word template in VSTO. When published it consits of several files including a Setup.exe, several msi files etc.Due to the fact that my company's security policy won't allow me to store dlls and exes on the server I need an alternative way to provide all the necessary stuff to the end user. I thoght it would be enough if I:
1) execute the setup.exe file on each client machine (it says everything got properly installed)
2) upload the xxx.dotm file to sharepoint and register it
3) edit policy settings
but it doesn't. When a user creates a new Document inside sharepoint using "New"->"xxx" the requested document loads without any error message and show the document but Word won't load any extensions / ribbons etc.

I have three Setup and Deployment problems that are making me even more crazy than I have been accused of currently being.#1 - My project(heavy on text file streamreaders) installs as it should on the target machine but I can only run it on said machine as administrator(works great)... I have tried changing the permissions on the installed project and that did not seem to work. Error - blah blah cannot access [filepath]? ([filepath] is correct and verified. Ideas? Can I set permissions in the install itself? How so?
#2 - #3 (Basically the same questions)I have directed Setup to install a Program Menu and Desktop Icon and it does so. The problem is that the icons are non functioning. I dont see where I can set an actual filepath for them in the Setup menus?A good tutorial on VB 2010 Setup and Deployment wouldnt hurt if anyone has a link.

I have VS Pro on the 64 bit machine.I don't want to leave any development package on the 32 bit machine, which will be transferred to a client.jeyoung

how to setup my deployment project so that users can customize thier own settings in app.config? Which special folder in the File System browser should I add, Personal Data, Application Data, or Programs Menu? How do I add the app.config to the folder? What about the project output, should it also be in the same folder? If so, should the project output be taken out of the Application Folder, in other words, exist in one place? I tested my deployment and was shocked that the icon only opened on the test user's pc after installation. I have custom settings in the app.config file that have default values, but must be configurable for user specific settings.

I am getting an error when trying to move my ASP.NET application from VS2010 to our IIS 6.0 webserver. The error happens on the first time the app tries to make a new SQLXMLCommand Object on the login page. When navigating to the login page and entering valid credentials I got an error saying a null reference exception was thrown. Investigating into the exception we were able to determine another exception was being thrown and caught, causing the null reference exception later in the code.
The Corresponding line of code throwing the exception:
New SqlXmlCommand(conn.ConnectionString & ";Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;")
The exception causing the problems below:
Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {83D0FC3E-8B31-4B35-A1B2-346BA3954514} failed due to the following error: 80040154 Class not registered (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040154 (REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG))."
[code]....
Looking further into the problem, the exception is only thrown on the Web Server. No exception is thrown if I am using localhost. I though I may be missing a reference to Microsoft.Data.SqlXml.dll as it was working localhost and not on the webserver. I tried fixing this by included the dll reference in my deployment project and making sure it was added to the bin folder, but with no avail.
Edit:SQLXML 4.0 was not installed on our webserver, it was part of the baseline installation of my machine.

I double click Setup Wizard and I get: "Catastrophic failure (exception from HRESULT: 0x8000FFFF (E_UNEXPCTED)" I've googled a lot of references and read through them but none of them seem to be applicable to my case.
