View 5 RepliesI 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.

View 2 RepliesI am planning to make a setup wizard for my program through visual studio 2010. My program uses SQL databases, and I just wanted to know if there is a way to check if SQL is installed through the setup wizard and if not install it. Or at the very least provide a link to where they can get an easy setup file.
View 3 RepliesSince VB 2005 express does not really install properly in windows 7, here is how to get it to install and make it work right. It's very simple.
1. Right click on the VB 2005 express installer file and click "Properties" in the menu.
2. Now click the "Compatibility" tab.
3. Check the box that says, "Run this program in compatibility mode for:"
4. Click the drop down menu and select "Windows Vista Service Pack 2. (I haven't tried service pack one.)
5. Now check the box that says "Run this program as an administrator" and click "Apply," then "OK"
6. Run the installer.
Wait until VB 2005 express has installed to do these next steps.
7. Make a desktop icon for VB 2005 Express
8. Right click on the VB 2005 express icon and click "Properties" in the menu.
9. Now click the "Compatibility" tab.
10. Check the box that says, "Run this program in compatibility mode for:"
11. Click the drop down menu and select "Windows Vista Service Pack 2. (I haven't tried service pack one.)
12. Now check the box that says "Run this program as an administrator" and click "Apply," then "OK"
VB 2005 Express should now run on you Windows 7 machine! (Yipee) Notice that it is necessary to repeat the same process for the installer file as well as the actual VB program becuase they are two different files and need to run in compatibility mode.

View 1 RepliesI hv installed VS2010 Ultimate on my Samsung notebook win 7 home premium 64 bit. But one thing was wrong, i couldn't get sql express installed, with some error that i forgot. I can't see SQL Express menu on my menu list though unable to launch it.
after searching the net, it says that i might need Windows Installer 5 (SDK) which is 2,5 GB to download. Is it true that I need that SDK to install sql express properly? or it is not possible to have sql express on home premium 64bit?
