i had an installer application around 2 years ago and it was great. it allowed me to make custom windows with my own images very easily. i can for the life of me remember the name of the program..Does anyone have any application they use to make custom installers?

I am nearing the end of my journey with the application i have spent the last few months working on.
Now my question is this...How do you go about making an installer? Obviously i am sure you have worked out now i mean the exe you click and choose instalation folder/desktop short cut or not/add to start menu. accept the agreement etc
Now i know vb.net has a publisher that i have looked at but is that the same? how to make my application have an installer.
I'm deploying a standalone application (VB 2005 w/ Crystal Reports) using ClickOnce. My users have different IP addresses that they use to map to the same networked drive. The best way I've come up with to get the installer out to them is to publish it twice manually:
ip.addr.number.001/PublishedHere/001/setup.exe
ip.addr.number.002/PublishedHere/002/setup.exe
And telling them to execute the appropriate installer.
Do we need to have .NetFrameWork Installed on Client's computer, if we make setup by using ClickOnce technology?

View 6 RepliesWith VB.net, I'm coding a simple application to get more used to the new .Net format.
I'd like to save all the information to a 'new' database file. how to create a database on the fly, once that is done i'll be able to connect to it no problem, but actually creating the file is proving difficult to work/find out.
Also, with vb.net and the newly created custom file, how can it be made to automatically open that information with the program?
Is there a method in installation to associate the file type with the new program? How can i check when the program loads if a database file has been 'double-clicked' (rather than just running from the .exe of the program) and proceed to load the data?
EDIT1 - Extra InfoThe windows application has many different fields and content etc, then i need to save that to a file that could later be loaded by 'double clicking'. I assumed the easiest way would be to create a mini-database for each unique file

View 4 Replies I have a background image and i'm trying to make a custom gui for the app, which goes around the image, and of course its an irregular shape, so i thought that i could use the region and so i used several ellipses and the i tried to add a rectangle but the parts that overlap invert the path therefor the part that overlaps is now transparent and not part of the window.
What I would like to do is get some examples of using all the curves, lines... and be able to make one region that is connected with all those paths that are made.

What I want is to make a custom file with my program. This file we will pretend is called InfiniteMapFile.INMP and the file has no contents therefore we need to add contents. There are 3 pixture boxes and 3 text files. The data for each of these files needs to go into InfiniteMapFile.INMP with the associated names, then later on be taken out if needed. Here is a diagram:
you can see what I mean by putting the files within it, I would have made my file look more like a box, but we're not 5 years old and I'm sure all of you will understand.Just knowing how to combine multiple files in general will help.

How can I go about making text linkable. I do not wish to display the valid url, instead just a filename or word phrase.
As you can see below, I tried inserting a linklabel control into the rtb. but the link label does not anchor to the rtb so that when I scroll it, it remains in the same place.
I would prefer to somehow turn regular text within the rtb into a link and associate it with a url. Then call the sub linkclicked to process the action.
Public Sub MakeLink(ByVal sText As String)
Dim rr1 = Regex.Replace(sText, "<html.*?<h6>Attachments</h6>", "Attachments", RegexOptions.Singleline)

I was wondering if it was possible to make custom message box options. What I mean is, I'm going to have a button that pops up a message box. The message box will say, for example, "What is 10 x 10?" and I want there to be three options, instead of a Yes/No type of thing: "1000", "100", and "20". Is there a way of doing that? Or would I have to create my own message box using some software?
