View 2 RepliesI have used the vb power pack for graphs and the following to files are included in the application files.
Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.Vs.dll
System.Windows.Forms.DataVisualization.dll
But the install only works on the machine it was built on, if I take them out it installs but no graphs. How can I get this to install on all machines?
I include the power packs in my app, and now I encounter problems when I try to deploy it to some other Win-XP machines which do not have Visual Studio (2008), although I include its DLL inside the installation package.The DLL is "C:Program FilesCommon FilesMicrosoft SharedVisual Basic Power Packs1.1Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.Vs.dll" and I'm just copying it into the installation path

View 2 RepliesI've just created a setup file for my application . Instead of using the click once process , I used the Create Install Free 4.14.5 program , in order to be able to specify some parameters that under click once I couldn't (like specifying installation folder etc) . The problem , however , is that now when I installed the application , an error message appears saying that the computer is missing the Visual Basic Power Packs 9.0 (which I indeed used in my application) . So , is there any way I can add it to my setup file ? That is in order to avoid making people manually downloading and installing it .

I am writing a application where i need to know which games are installed on a system.I have 3 ways by which i think i can detect the games
1: Scan specific parts of registry and look for key names that match with a List of Publishers. The list is manually maintained.
2: Scan the hard disk for and do same as in step 1
3: run the program in background and check for programs in memory that use a large portion of memory(which games always do) and if they use Direct X ( Which all games do except for some) then its a game.
Now i have been thinking about it and first and second method seems to be in need of a updated database ie list of publishers to make out if a particular program is game.

View 1 RepliesI have a tough situation that I don't really know how to code. I have one main list of point that contains all the points on a picture that are black.(1point=1pixel) I need to group all the black pixels that are less than 15(more or less) pixels away from each other into one Separate list. In the end I want about 5 lists.
What I said above is what I think is best to detect the centre of a shooting target. This information is just for those who think they know a better way. Each card has 5 targets on it and I need to detect the centre of each target. Ignore the sticker on the top target, in all cases the top one will look like the rest.
but i can't complete it if i dont know how to make it auto detecting the pathsexample: i have a combobox and only the text COD 4 MWand i have a textbox so when they select COD 4 MW in the combobox the install path shows in the textbox.
View 1 RepliesI have created an app using Visual Studio 2010. This app wont work with Win XP or earlier. So how to detect the installed OS?
View 2 RepliesI know the default install path of the app and the name of the .exe file, but is there a way to see if it is actually installed? I've seen suggestions for checking registry entries, but I don't know if this app uses any or if if varies for different users on different pc's.

I have built a web setup project using VS 2008, wherein I need to check whether IIS 6.0 Metabase compatibility is installed. I tried it by accessing registry keys specifed in here in custom actions. But when I run the installer, I the key comes out to be blank irrespective of whether metabase compatibility is installed.
To further check the problem, I created a Console app to access the same keys. When I run it on win7, the app fails. Then, I ran it in WinXP SP3 compatibility mode and it ran perfectly.
I am open to other bullet-proof means of detecting whether IIS 6.0 Metabase compatibility is installed

View 4 RepliesI've created a small app in VB that creates Word documents from data stored in Access, which I plan to distribute for non-commercial purposes. I'm using VB 2005 and Office 2007.
All the target machines are either Windows 2000 or XP.
1) I know that if I use mdb file for Access, I don't need to install Access on these machines. Is it true for accdb files as well ?
2) Is a Word installation required on each of these machines ? Or, can I make VB to create an exe that takes care of this ?

View 5 RepliesI have a WinForm program developed in VB.Net with Visual Studio 2005. The program needs Microsoft Office Runtime installed atleast on the computer to allow the application to run without any errors.
Is their a way to check the computer to see if the minimum of the Runtime or Microsoft Office is installed on the computer? If either isn't I would like to display a message to the user on the startup of the application that states to atleast go to Microsot's site (I have full link to Runtime Download) and download the runtime for free.
Or is their a way to include the runtime as a component with my install for the application so if it isn't installed on the computer already it will install when the application is installed?
