Setup Project For A Windows Service - Pre-Install Custom Action?

Jan 4, 2012

I need to install a windows service via an .msi for many tablets which is nooooo problem. The problem is, the tablets currently have the service running which was installed by installutil. So when my installer runs, regardless of Remove Previous Version is true, it stops stating the service already exists and to uninstall it from Add/Remove Programs.So I wrote a console app which preceeds the primary output as follows:

Sub Main()
Try
Dim filename As String = "C:Program FilesRSCProjectServiceSetupRSCProjectService.exe"
'Dim filename As String = "C:RSCProjectServiceRSCProjectServiceinDebugRSCProjectService.exe"
If System.IO.File.Exists(filename) Then

C# - Creating A Custom Start Menu Shortcut Link For A Visual Studio Setup Project

Feb 24, 2010

Is it possible to create a custom start menu shortcut link?

The only possibilities I see in the setup project are shortcuts to folders or primary output.

Update:

What I ended up doing is creating a custom action on commit that dynamically creates the link using Windows Scripting Host. Then on uninstall, removing the link.

Custom Action To Send Email?

Jan 12, 2010

I currently have a Win32 deployment package that I would like to include a custom action to send an email or contact a web service, is this possible?I know I can create a custom action to call an executable but I would prefer not to use this method and was wondering if i can send an email or call a webservice directly from the custom action.The reason I wish to do this is so that I am notified when the end user install's the package.

How To Get The Installation Directory In A Custom Action

Dec 9, 2010

I am using Visual Studio 2005. I have just figured out how to create a Custom Action during installation, but I can not figure out how to get data from the installer. Following is the simple test code that I am trying to use to call the directory that the user defines during installation, but the Path string is not returning anything.

Public Overrides Sub Install(ByVal stateSaver As System.Collections.IDictionary)

MyBase.Install(stateSaver)

Dim Path As String = MyBase.Context.Parameters("targetdir")

Dim AppConfigFile As String = Path & "FilesAppConfig.txt"

MsgBox("The target filepath is: " & AppConfigFile)

End Sub

I have tried many other things, such as...

Me.Context.parameters("targetdir")

stateSaver.item("targetdir")

And I entered /INSTALLDIR="[TARGETDIR]" in the custom action data property.

Release Setup Project / Setup

Feb 27, 2009

I've finally got a project compiled and tested and ready to roll out.I have discovered that the "Publish" option is not what it seems, and that we must create a separate "Setup Project" to carry out the task of installing the files.This is not the most intuitive process I've seen, and the online help on that subject is not easy to understand.I was hoping that someone could direct me to a tutorial or guide that would step me through the specific approach I need. Many of the other guides online are vague and address multiple scenarios and do not separate the approaches very well.I have the contents of my project in /bin/release. It runs nicely by iteself with no errors.Here's what I need:

1. To create a setup exe that I can distribute that will install my software, with all of the supporting (resource) files and folders.
2. I need the setup process to force the installer to "agree" to a EULA.
3. I'd would like to provide an image on the installation screen/popup.
4. I would like the software registered in the registry and rely on it being there in the registry.
5. I need it to default to program filesprojectname (it does by default)

.net - Using Action(Of T) Over A Custom Delegate Syntax For Readability?

Jan 7, 2011

Since .net 4.0, is the new ettiquette to use syntax such as:

Private Sub Main()
MyMethod(AddressOf AnAction)
End Sub
Private Sub MyMethod(ByVal toDo As Action(Of String, Integer, Boolean))
toDo.Invoke("Tom", 1, True)
End Sub
Private Sub AnAction(ByVal p1 As String, ByVal p2 As Integer, ByVal p3 As Boolean)
End Sub

[Code]...

This goes the same with Tuples/Func too. It is nice to write but feels a bit sloppy in places. Why would anyone want Tuple(Of T, T2, T3, T4) over a nice class type? My actual piece of code has these nested, so it passes the Action along in a chain of methods.

Sorry for the VB example, AddressOf is just VBs way of saying new Action(AnAction). Also I just wrote this into the browser so it might not compile either.How to people feel about reading and using these compiler generic actions as opposed to proper special entities crafted for their exact requirements in the solution?

VS 2008 Custom Uninstall Action Not Executing?

May 26, 2009

I've created a program that creates a registry value when it is run, and when this program is uninstalled I need it to remove this registry value if it exists. So I wrote a little command line VB.NET program that simply checks for the reg value and removes it if it exists and I added this to the Uninstall section of the Custom Actions tab in the Visual Studio deployment project that I created for this app.

I know that the command line app works because if I run it myself manually it deletes the registry value, but when I uninstall my application it does not remove the registry value so obviously this command line app is not being executed.

Project Missing From Project Output Group During SetUp?

Nov 12, 2009

I new to this Forum and relatively new to VB programming. I have read some really good posts here and thought I would ask about a perplexing problem I'm having. I createdindows Form application, built it and deployed it with no problems. However, when I added a small block of code, re-built the app and went to add the app to the Project Output Group in the file system editor the project was not in the Project drop down list. I closed the Setup project and deleted it from the project folder and checked my code and re-built the app and tried the Set Up project again with the same result

Custom Action, Uninstallation Removes Added Registry Key?

Sep 12, 2009

I've made a small program that creates a registry item in the users run key (basically starts the program on bootup), my question is does anybody know how to remove the item from all the users of the computer when the program is uninstalled?.

I know that all the other users registry hives aren't loaded at anyone time and feel a custom action dll that runs on uninstall that iterates through the 'documents and settings' folder loading the hives one at a time and removes the registry key.

.net - Silverlight Datacontext, Repeats All The Past Commands/action Each Time A New Action Is Performed On It

Mar 28, 2011

a datacontext defined in a module(domain services ado.net ria)a page having add/delete methods whenever any method is executed, it is found that all the previous actions (NEW RECORD ADDITION and DELETION OF RECORDS) are carried out before the new action is carried out normally

this behaviour is not prominent but "when using break points and inspecting the values of the variables and table object to be added to context, it is clear that all the previous actions take place again. even when the datacotext. savechanges is called, even after that still all actions carried out on the datacontext repeat themseleves, when any new action is to be carried out

I am using vs 2003 to build a setup project but got this error message"Could not find file ..., Not enough storage is available to complete this operation."I checked the path of the file, it is correct.

If so, how can I build the setup project?
