Setup and deploy for my project worked fine for a while allowing you to install my program and uninstall the old version, but now it installs two entries. I don't get it, before I got it do do that it would give an error that it needed to be uninstalled first. Now like I said I get two entries in the programs uninstall window. RemovePreviousVersions = true. I change the version number and update the product code. Even tried changing the upgrade code. I just don't get why it doesn't work anymore, and its really annoying! Also, is there a way that the setup file can just be one .exe rather then a setup file and a data file?

View 4 RepliesOne of them is giving us trouble in only 1 spot out of the 4 spots we use it at:The trouble spot is a windows form project that uses reflection to dynamically load some DLLs that run long running processes. One of these long running processes is an agent that relies on one of our vender DLLsWe're getting the missing assembly exception at the point where we first enter a function that references the library. I already checked the silly things such as if we had forgotten to move a reference from the old version to the new version, but that's not the case. I also checked the bin directory of the project and the assembly is there.
View 3 RepliesI'm currently working on a project that populates a database with CAD document info from approx 20 engineers / draftsmen in an engineering office.I have the program functionality working on my computer. However, I would like to install this on the network and begin doing some addiitonal testing and debugging.
I'm unsure about the proper way to install the database and sql server express on the network. My program, which sends the info to the database, will be installed locally on each persons computer. Of course, the database file will be in a location on the network that everyone has access to.I'm assuming I should install the SQL Server Express on the network server as well. How do I setup the server for the SQL express?For example, when I installed it on my computer, the default server name was "Brian-HPSQLSERVER".How do I specify a new server name when installing the software?
I'm having problems tring to connect to the sql server 2005 express with and vb 2008 express.
I keep getting this error and here is the code too:
Login failed for user 'CHRIS-ARTZGuest'
connFabList = New SqlConnection("Data Source=CHRIS-ARTZ;Database=FabList.mdf;Integrated Security=True;")
I want to know how to include username and password of sql express 2005 for creating setup file in vb dotnet.Also how can i create an instance of sql and include it in setup project.

If I build the solution on a machine that HAS a license for ActiveReport then everything is fine. If I build the solution on a machine that DOESN'T have a license for ActiveReport I get:
Error 1 'Could not load file or assembly 'ActiveReports6,

or one of its dependencies. Operation is not supported. (Exception

On the machine that DOESN'T have a license for ActiveReport if I remove the above lines from the license.licx file then everything builds fine. I always thought that if the license couldn't be found then the unlicensed version will be used but it wouldn't kill the build. How do I get this solution to build on any machine whether it has a license or doesn't?

View 1 RepliesI am loading an Assembly using Assembly.LoadFrom() as the assemblies are located in a different path from Application Base directory.
Dim oAssembly As Assembly = _
Assembly.LoadFrom("C:\MyFolder\" + ddlXlate.SelectedItem.ToString() + ".dll")
And I consume a Type from that assembly without any problem:
oXML = CType(oAssembly.CreateInstance(sBaseType + ".XlateContainer"), _
XlateBase.XlateContainer)
However, the problem occurs when I try to use a Type from this assembly from within another method like the one below:
oComboBox.DataSource = _
[Enum].GetValues(Type.GetType(sType + "+ItemEnum," + sAssemblyName))
sAssemblyName is the one I loaded using LoadFrom() actually. After it said it cannot find the assembly, I used AssemblyResolve event which solved my problem :Subscribing AssemblyResolve event :
AddHandler AppDomain.CurrentDomain.AssemblyResolve, _
AddressOf MyResolveEventHandler
Event Handler Method:
Private Shared Function MyResolveEventHandler(ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal args As ResolveEventArgs) As Assembly
Return Assembly.LoadFrom("C:\PSIOBJ\" + args.Name + ".dll")
End Function
And I thought maybe the error occurs because it cannot find a dependent assembly defined in assembly manifest file I loaded using LoadFrom() already but when I checked the args.Name, I saw it was trying to load same assembly and after that it worked without any problem. So basically a type in the loaded assembly cannot be found before the event adding change.
My old code was using AppDomain.CurrentDomain.Load() and Assembly.Load() methods and they were working fine without the AssemblyResolve event. I was able to reach types in dynamically loaded Assembly from every where within the same AppDomain.
LoadFrom() can find dependencies automatically within the same requested assembly path and that couldn't be problem as everything this dll needs was there. So at first it looked like a AppDomain problem to me as it looks like it seems it can reach assemblies from Load context instead of LoadFrom context and I am now using LoadFrom context.But now it seems I should pass oAssembly instance evertwhere to use any type from the loaded assembly?Doesn't it load the assembly where I can reach it everywhere (same AppDomain) using simple Type.GetType(...) method?
I'm wanting to include a system tray icon in my WPF project, and found this resource:[URL]..which looks like it will work beautifully, but it's written for C# and I'm using VB.net for this project. I downloaded his project and built the notifyicon as a DLL, then added as a reference to my project.
It throws up an error: Unable to emit assembly: Referenced assembly 'Hardcodet.Wpf.TaskbarNotification' does not have a strong name So I'm trying to figure out the best way to proceed. Do I need to strong name it, or is there a better way to do this?
I've got an exception when I deployed my application: "the located assembly's manifest does not match the assembly reference" What I remember is changing the project name from the previous source code, does it affect that much?

I have created several DLL (.NET) libraries that are used in several projects. In these DLL libraries I want to know/retrieve which assembly (EXE) calls/uses the library, so if possible I want to know info like assembly name (EXE), strong name, version number, etc.
NB: Examples may be in C# or VB. I use both languages.
I have written a .net assembly which plugs into to a third party COM application. The .net assembly is COM visible to the third party application. However this .net assembly references other regular assemblies. If I put these assemblies in the GAC the COM visibile assembly sees them without a problem. However for various reasons I do not want to put them into the GAC but I cannot get my COM visible assembly to see the other assemblies when they are in other locations. I have tried putting them in the same directory as the COM visible assembly. I have tried putting them in the same directory as the third party app's exe but neither of these work.

The problem is that the same exe works in my development environment but not on productive server. The program is a tool that should run as a Scheduled Task on Windows Server 2008. It consists of an exe, one so called Database.dll and the Rule.dll. The exe should load the Rule.dll dynamically in codebehind but it fails with the above error only when started from Task Scheduler. Why is it looking in System32 folder and not in the Application folder? Is it an UAC-issue?

if I want to open my vs2008 project, I get the error "Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft Build Engine, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, .... or one of its dependencies. The system can't find the specified file." Yesterday it has no problem and today I get this message. I have uninstalled nothing, I have net framework 3.5 and in the meantime 4.0 too, I use win 7 x64. I tried to repair the install of vs2008 with the dvd, no succes. what I should do to get this to work again? I don't want to reinstall win 7 (inkl. format the system drive).
EDIT: I checked the system with the net verify tool, and it comes out, that some dll-s in the assembly directory are missing. Now, I clean up all net framework on the system, then I will install the net framework 3.5 sp1 and let's see, whether it works or not.
EDIT 2: I even can't install the net framework 3.5 sp1. I downloaded the full pack from microsoft and if I click on it, nothing happens. Why?
EDIT 3: after reinstalling all vs2008 components and after running the net removal tool again, I wanted to install vs2008 back. And the install says: the net framework 3.5 (x64) is installed. I know, win 7 contains it. Then how the hell can I uninstall and reinstall the net framework 3.5??
Usually, when I create an application, all I need to do is copy the .exe file from the "inDebug" folder to run onto other machines.
But this time, I've got a 3rd party control. So, copying the .exe isn't good enough. I get a message as soon as the application loads "Could not load file or assembly ..."
I have added a "Setup and Deployment" to the project, but that still doesn't seem to include all of the files to the 3rd party control.
Because after successfully installing this application, the same error message is displayed "Could not load file or assembly ..."
how I can get this application to run on another machine without installing this 3rd party control first?
