IDE :: Deployment - Is Already Installed From A Different Location?
Apr 19, 2010
After deployment and clicking 'setup.exe' the error message: 'Cannot Start Application - You cannot start application ... from this location because it is already installed from a different location.'details: cannot start it from d:/... (local path) because it is already installed from ... shared directory on different pc.on the shared dir: I tried to install it there some days ago, but cancelled the installation process, because the .net framework wasn't there. So I do not have a clean application that i can uninstall. The shared folder is now deleted, but if I try to deploy locally, the error is thereI installed the app on a third PC in a shared folder and uninstalled it afterwards. I can deploy and start the app on this third PC (but at the moment it is uninstalled there) .What file / entry in a file can I delete that I can install my application locally again (it runs in the debugger of the IDE)?

we have a user that my program works fine for.. and another that it just crashes for.. they get this error
"You cannot start application <App_Name> from this location because it is already installed from a different location."
then they run it up again and it comes up.. and then just closes..in reading some stuff online it says its a framework 2.0 sp 1 issue ?these pc's have 3.5, but my program uses all 2.0 stuff..so is this a 2.0 sp level issue ? or should I make my programs start to use framework 3.0 instead ?

I have encounterd a problem when trying to re-enstall a program i have writen in vb 2008.I get the following message:"You cannot start application Shell from this location because it is already installed from a different location."This program is to be used on many workstation computers and i need to be able to update any changes by just reinstalling the program, no uninstalling needed first. If the program was installed from a cd first and needs to be updated from a flash disk this error will be a problem, if the update is from a cd as well then there is no problem.Is there a way to change the installation package to ignore where the program installs from and just update itself?

I think this has to do with a third party OCX control. Below is the output when the application starts. When I install my application on a stand-alone PC or most PCs in a networked environment it runs fine. When I go to some offices that have very tightly controlled networks I have problems.
The set up won't run under the user name so someone from IT must log in as administrator. They run the set up and the application installs and runs fine. The IT person logs off and the user tries to run it and the application won't even start. An error box appears and below is the report. SCANNERLib.DLL is the third party control. Maybe there is something I'm missing when I compile. Maybe the DLL registering funny under the Admin rights. [Code]

i published an application in vb.net. the user will be able to install the application anywhere they choose on the computer (or perhaps not anywhere they choose but where ever the default location is). how can i programmatically get the location where the user installed the application? another words i need the application to know where it is running from. how do i detect that?

I am using VS2008 and for the project I am creating, I have a "settings" text file I am using to save user defined settings like color theme, homepage, etcetera. It works fine, however, I am unsure as to how to handle the eventual distributed apps' destination folder/file.
Creating a pre-determined folder/file is easy enough, but what I'd like to do is make it part of the installed folder files, which should be:
I tried creating the file if it wasn't found, however this did not happen (Though I specified the above formatted pathway) perhaps because I was in debug but it should have saved the text file, which it did not and wasn't found anywhere after saving/creating one.
I have the InnoSetup application (Looks great BTW) and see I can include a starting default text file AND make a specific directory for it, but I am unsure as of yet how Inno works exactly, but would prefer testing it through debug before an install anyway. Wish SHOULD be able to be done, am I right?
The odd thing is that although the file was NOT created as specified when creating one, it DID save a setting when I re-ran/debugged the app. (Rather odd, how is this happening I wonder?)
Here is how I am trying to resolve my problem...[code...]
So I am also wondering... if I use the InnoSetup to "set up" the directory and file, and it is according to user-defined destination, how do I reflect that decision in my coding for reading and writting the file?
I could simply use a basic path like C:DATAFILES but this wouldn't be very professional, though fine for development purposes.

I am trying to install a program but I get the message Application already installed at other location The application does not appear in the program manager to be uninstalled. I have tried publishing a later version but when I try to install it I get the same message. The click-once publisher generally includes an uninstall program with the applications. when Ive had this problem before it was fixed by republishing as a newer version.

im still fairly new to this. i have written a program, built it and created my setup project and can install it no problems, however, in the "setup view" where you have the threefolders "Application folder" "Users Desktop" and "Users Programs menu" ... u know "the file system view/setup1" ... well here is the problem, i click on "Application folder" and change the "default location" ... so i can specify the program is installed in "C:ProgramFilesJohns AppCalculator" ...... BUT when i build the setup and install the program it does not appear in this location !! arghh i can see all the program files on my pc ... except mine ( i have tried all day and all night the only way i can get it to appear here is by INCLUDING the "project output" into THIS folder ..... even though i only want it to be on the "users desktop" ....

My freeware program launches 50 freeware programs and provides a guide for PC maintenance and health. As mentioned in another post, my program was reviewed on Sofpedia. One thing the Reviewer criticized was the fact that my program requires the user to install these 50 programs in the default locations (usually C:Program Filesx). The reviewer thinks it would be best if the user can install to any location he/she desires and my program be able to point to the proper location when launching the application.

I am deploying sql express as a prerequisite. I have created a custom prerquisite using bootstrap manifest generator. The problem I have is replacing the template.ini file which exists in the sqlexpr32.exe cab file. Winrar and winzip allow me to open the sqlexpr32.exe but will not allow me to edit, add or replace the template.ini.I also cannot find the path where the sqlexpr32.exe extracts to as I want to use that path for the settings file eg "template.ini".[code]

I have been trying for days now how to create a process to the user to easily create a connection to any installed data types they have installed. I have found an example right inside vb2008. I never use this because I code my own connections, but this would be real nice if I could include it or duplicate it.

I need a way to have the file included and I am unable to find a external copy and I understand that I cannot just copy the dll from my PC into the installation folder

Have built a project and associated it with a Setup&Deployment Project. The S&D project needs to contain 2 main folders (under User's Desktop) with various formats of files (xmls, txts, dlls) inside them and several subfolders. How can i copy/import these 2 folders and there sub-files/folders into my s&d project?
When adding them in the usual way, they are copied and defined a source path onto the current pc. You can understand what errors this might create when an another targeted pc does not contain those files to the exact location. Is there any way to copy them locally or somehow import them?

I have 2 group box components and both are same size,font,location and visible is false. When i click button2, the groupbox1 won't appear(the group box2 is on bottom n group box1 is on top).
Example:
button1
groupbox1.visible=false
groupbox2.visible=true
button2
groupbox1.visible=true
groupbox2.visible=false
Because i want to show the different,so the location have a little different(actually both are same location). I think my code is no problem. The problem i guess is both component cannot locate at same location?

I was using this old method of creating a bunch of rectangles when I need to get the location of a certain point within a grid so I could draw images on the grid. The thing is, I don't want to use rectangles, I want to be able to just round the location as if I were using rectangles. I need it to be able to round the point (66,70) to (50,50) so if you can imagine a grid and the mouse position being within that square in the grid, I need to get the location of the upper left corner of that square.
