Can Uninstall Functionality Be Modified To Catch Other Instances Of Application / Also Uninstall Them?
Jun 23, 2011Have a VB.net application that installs initially from CD and then when the user gets into the internet the application updates. In order to better support problems with this application is has been suggested in the past to uninstall it and do a fresh re-install. However, in investigation it was determined that the uninstall does not consider all installed objects and does not uninstall the CD install.Can the uninstall functionality be modified to catch the other instances of this application and also uninstall them?

View 4 RepliesVS 2008 Custom Uninstall Action Not Executing?
May 26, 2009I'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.
VS 2008 - Write A Script/program To Automate The Uninstall Process
Jul 26, 2011We are currently changing our Antivirus program which involves uninstalling our current one first. That isn't a problem but we have several laptop users not in the building who might have a problem uninstalling programs.
It should be possible to write a script/program to automate the uninstall process I guess, but don't know where to start. Can someone point me in the right direction?

View 2 RepliesVS 2008 Finding The Directory Of Installation
Jul 8, 2009Alright, my program requires a folder to put the save files in, and it works fine to create it when I know where the program was installed to. I want to assume that everyone will install to C:/Program Files... however, one cannot assume. Is there a way for me to find out where the program was installed to ie. D:/WorkPrograms/ProgramHere, instead of the Program files? Specifically, is there some sort of code that I can run at startup to find where the program file is, so I can keep all the save files in there?
View 3 RepliesVS 2008 Starting An Application After Installation
Dec 16, 2010I have created a setup project that after the installation, starts the app that is being installed. To do that I have added an Installer class to the app I want to get started and I am using it's commited event to start the app (Process.Start("...myapp.exe").
While this works fine on XP, on Windows Vista the application gets started as a "System" user which makes some parts of the app missbehave i.e. retreiving special folders of the user etc...
This is the question: way to start myapp as the logged in user? Mind you I will not have the credentials of the users.

View 1 RepliesSpecify Installation Directory For Vb 2008 Express Application?
Apr 27, 2009I am using VB 2008 express. I created a setup file for installation using the publish command. When I install on another computer, it installs under the documents and settings directory. I want it to install under program files like most other programs.
I've search everywhere on the web for this. The closest thing i could find was talking about the DefaultFolder under the projects applications folder. I don't see that option. I can specify all the publication directories - but these are strictly for where VB creates the setup file at - not where the setup file installs it. Frankly it would be really nice to be able to allow the user to specify the directory as an option, with program files as the default. But for now I'd be happy to just be able to change the default install directory for my app.

If I go directly to the program directory and click on the program there, it starts just fine.

VS 2008 : Adding The Power Packs 9.0 In The Installation Setup?
Sep 24, 2011I've just created a setup file for my application . Instead of using the click once process , I used the Create Install Free 4.14.5 program , in order to be able to specify some parameters that under click once I couldn't (like specifying installation folder etc) . The problem , however , is that now when I installed the application , an error message appears saying that the computer is missing the Visual Basic Power Packs 9.0 (which I indeed used in my application) . So , is there any way I can add it to my setup file ? That is in order to avoid making people manually downloading and installing it .
