How Do Publish A Vb Express 2008 Program With "terms Of Use" Clause The User Must Agree To In Order To Install The Program?
May 26, 2009
I have a program in vb express 2008 which I would like to publish in a little more professional manner than provided in the standard vb express package. I would at least like to include a "Terms of Use" document the user must agree to before installing the program. I have dovnloaded and installed web developer, c# and vs 2008. Do any of these include a professional installer? If not are there any free installer packages available? I am 72 and live on a limited budget so I cannot aford an expensive package for one program.

I am starting design of a program that needs to run no matter if the user is logged in to the PC or not. So I will be writing it as a VB.Net Service.
As I am not overly familiar with SQL Server Express, is it possible to connect to a local SQL Server Express Instance and access the database from a VB.Net Service while the user is not logged in to the PC?

I need to write a program in VB 2008 express that takes an user entry from a textbox and strips out all the spaces, changes it to either all upper case or all lower case then checks to see if it is a palindrome. I must also include a loop structure and a decision structure. I have seen bits and pieces of code but I do not really know how to put them together. Basically I need it from the button click to the end. ?

My program has 1,000 + .rtf files and when I publish/Install it's HUGE! 200mb +. I have other apps from other software companies that have more documents than mine, and their entire application is around 50mb. What am I missing here? How do I accomplish the same thing? Does it have to do with the Property Settings of the .rtf files called: "Build Action" and "Copy to Output Directory"? I set my "Build Action" to "Content" for all my .rtf files, and set "Copy to Output Directory" to "Copy Always".

I have two slightly different versions of my VB applications that I would like to publish simultaneously. The differences are minimal and mostly include GUI and some internal logic. Incorporating changes into a single application is not an option right now.
I tried publishing and installing them separately but the latest installer always overwrites whatever has already been installed. For example, if I install App v1, then App v2, only App v2 will be visible. If App v1 is installed after App v2, only App v1 will be visible. What I want to have is to have them both installed. I am using Visual Studio 2008.

i have a application that i designed for an assignment which uses a DB (ACCESS) However when i publish the application it fails to load even though the application completes. I have managed to find that it is the database that is not copying over, how do i solve this (the db is located when debugging and is also in the project files)

I'm trying to develop a program structure in very broad terms. At this point, the Forms used do nothing but call other Forms and allow for their closure. After startup and initialization activities, I want the user to set up options and run the program. The program can be run again (click one button) and again with the same options, or (click another), the options can be changed for the next and subsequent runs. Clicking a third button will cause shutdown activities to be performed.
Sounds pretty simple. However, I get the options form the first time, but subsequent ShowDialog calls cause the form to pop up (I detected a Load and an Activated call) for an instant, then disappear, and the program rolls on without permitting option selection, even though the key variable NewSetup is definitely True.
Code:
Public Class RunMain
<STAThread()> _
Shared Sub Main()

I have a simple program that collects information from a database then sends the information to a .dll, which performs some calculations. I have figured out how to build and publish my application, but I'm not sure how to include the .dll. I'd like to put the .dll is a common folder (i.e. system32) when I install the program on a PC.

i have created an application on my windows vista 64-bit computer. I need to be able to install the application on other computers. I copied over the setup.exe file as well as the other files that the publish wizard created onto my flash drive. I then put my flash drive onto a windows xp computer and copied over the install files. I ran setup.exe, it said it was installing .NET Framework 3.5 SP1. The progress bar didn't move for an hour. I canceled that and tried to just run the manifest. It prompted to 'run' it etc... i did that and it said the .NET Framework that i canceled was required.
When i built the application ClickOnce was not enabled, the second time i did it ClickOnce was enabled. I then started to play around with the files that were required. What is wrong? I need to be able to install this application on other computers but mine. It works perfectly on my vista but wont even install on the xp. Do you think i am just doing something wrong as i publish/build it?

it is these three files that you must copy to the computer that you want to install the program on?

I have finally finished an application which works really well on the PC upon which I developped it using VB 2008 Express.My problem is that when I publish it and try to install the ClickOnce output files on another PC (tried two so far, both WinXP) I get a missing files error. There is an error output saying that downloading the .exe.manifest file did not succeed. Unfortunately the error detail is confusing and does not seem to indicate exactly which files are missing.On both of the PC's that I tried I was prompted io install .net 3.5 SP1, which seemed to have been successful. The inference is that it is not a .net file that is missing.

how you can choose the directory to install your program to because when I publish the program it installs only to the directory it was published to! would I need another program to move the files to the directory I want?also im using .mdb files in the program and I want these files to be installed to the same directory but the files arent even in the Application files folder when it is created so when I run the program I get an error telling me the program cant find the .mdb files at the location specified in the code
ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:UsersdazzaDesktopUserid.accdb
that is my connection string, obviously when I install the program it isnt going to be correct so how do I change it oce the program has been built#

Trying to figure out if there is anyway built into windows 7/Vista/XP and/or Dpinst to verify that a driver is installed? I created a program that uses DPinst to install a driver and now I need to figure out how to tell the user that it is safe to close the program once the driver is install as the driver takes longer on some machines to install. Would anyone know how to get this to work?

I wrote this VB program to be able to throw a device we developed into programming mode where we use an ATMEL Flip installer to upload new firmware. I can program one device after another running the application off of Visual Studio Express 2010 or Visual Studio 2010, but when I go to publish this file and run it on another machine, it becomes unstable and crashes after each upload. On those same computers if I run the raw unpackaged program under Visual Studio Express, the system does not crash, and I can program devices repeatedly.

When I try and install on another machine, it is giving this error:

I am currently working on a simple data encryption program in VB 2008 express. Basically, I want the user to be able to select any file type and the program will read the data and store it in a text box. The user would then input a key, push the encrypt button and the program would XOR each byte of data with each character from the key and store the data in the third text box. I have written a program that has similar functionality only, it will not read from files, it simply reads data from a text box, so I have a encryption algorithm that works.Here is my
