Is it possible to create a standard installer with VS 2008 VB? What i'm looking for is an install similar to Windows Installer - one where the user can choose installation location, options, etc. instead of the ClickOnce deployment method of burying the app in the User folder in an unknown location?

I just installed VS 2005 on a new laptop with Windows 7 and I can't find the option under the Debug menu called 'Exceptions'. It was available in my previous install under WinXP. I know win7 had some incompatabilities with vs2005. Is this one of them? Man, I'd hate to loose the ability to break on thrown exceptions.

Is there a way to define those two options on the project/solution level?
the combo box style 1 has both the drop down option but also a manual entry option. I need to know how to code it so that when you manually enter data, it takes that data and places it in a text message "The shipping charges for "data" is $15" displaying in a text box. Shouldn't be hard but have developed a mind block.

How can I get round this error: Option Strict On disallows implicit conversions from
[Code]...
1. I have read that keeping Option strict on and Option infer off is good practice and will insure your code is tight and properly written. I would like input regarding this, pro's and con's from those who are in the know.
2. Having said that, I have set Option strict on and Option infer off in an existing program I wrote (that was working perfectly mind you) with them off and on respectively. I went through and cleaned up all the errors on the 'need AS' and casting of variables, but one is leaving me a bit put out.[code]
I have also read where using My.Computer.System.Directory.GetFiles() instead of System.IO.Directory.GetFiles() is probably not a good thing, but when I change to this I get no error, but also no dataI am thinking I should stay with the strict on and infer off but am really slogging through getting this code correct.Running Win7 on Dual Quad Core XEON Intel Extreme with 8Gb RAM.

View 6 RepliesI then rebooted as asked, and there was MORE time.
However at the end it said that it had failed to install a couple of components. I am afraid I can't remember the names.
Anyhow. Do I have to re-download, or can I somehow re-install. I tried to reinstall, but was asked where the install resources were. I have no idea, and the installer controlled the entire thing.
Also, if I have installed, where is the programme that gives me the programming interface. I could not find any exe files under Microsoft Visual Studio 9Microsoft Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition with SP1 - ENU.

View 2 RepliesI have made updates to my programs, including a large update with the fonts on my forms. The only problem is this font is not found on vista or Windows XP and must be downloaded. The program is completely ruined with its looks without it. Is their a way so that both Windows XP and Vista could download these fonts, On startup of the first form, Form Load maybe? Even if the user says that he or she would like to see the program with the fonts? I just don't want to take the many hours i wasted resizing with the new fonts, ect. If it would be easier I could ask the user if they are using Windows XP, Or Vista?
