Professional Install Wizard (Like Microsoft Office Has)?
Aug 31, 2009
I have a very simple program that can run and work perfectly.The only trouble I have is when I install it.I double click the setup file that it created and a window is displayed with 2 buttons 'install' and don't 'install'.What I want it to do is run an installation wizard like when you install an offical program like 'Microsoft Office'.Is there any way to do this in 'Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition' if any other 'free' program is required then I would also be happy to use one.Here is a list of a few extra things I would like to do but I'm mainly posting to find out how to make the installation:
> A Desktop Icon is created
> When it is displayed in the all programs it is called 'Email Validator' not 'xxxx' as it is at the moment
> There will be an uninstall button (So the user doesn't have to go into Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs

I'm trying to install Microsoft Speech SDK 5.1 on my Windows XP Professional computer for a VB.Net project I'm working on and I'm getting nowhere. I have Office 2007 Pro. Can anyone confirm or deny that this cannot be done? I have an old Office 2002 disk. Would it do any good to put that on the computer (due to the fact that you're supposed to install Speech through Office and Office 2007 does not do this)? Will installing Office 2002 interfere with Office 2007?

So I have this error.
[Code]...
So I'm guessing it has something to do with the fact that I don't have office loaded on my computer. Now I have another laptop, with office that I loaded this project on, and it works fine. So do I have to load office on this computer, or can I just reference something?

I'm looking to make a simple install wizard to install my program (I know Visual Studio 2010 already has an installer) but anyway, I would like to make it myself, kind of line reinvent the wheel?

I would like to create Shared add-in that works with Word, Excel, Outlook and Power Point. I've found nice article that provides step by step instruction for creating shared add-in for Word: [URL] I've followed instructions and it worked. However, I am looking for a way to create one add-in that works with Word, Excel, Outlook and Power Point, not only Word. I didn't find any reference on the WEB.

Basically I've coded an Excel 2007 project in VB.NET 2010 that allows you to create charts with a fair amount of interactivity. I want the user to be able to save and reopen this workbook and still have that interactivity in any already-created charts, so they don't have to re-create them.
When I create the charts, I use Sheet1.Controls.AddChart(...), which returns a Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Chart with which I can handle events and such. However, when I reopen the file and look through the Sheet1.Controls collection, there are no Chart objects. Accessing the charts through Sheet1.ChartObjects.Chart gives me Interop Charts, when I need the Tools Charts.

I am running Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Professional on a Windows 7 system.While working on a visual basic exercise in chapter 4 of the Microsoft Visual Basic 2008 Step by Step book on the MyMenu program I added a Toolstrip to my form and then I was trying to perform the add OpenFileDialog and ColorDialog controls to the component tray as described at the bottom of page 111 under Using Dialog Box Controls. I could never get the controls to appear in the component tray as instructed in the book.
I added a toolstrip to the form. According to my instructions I should be able to click on the Open file icon on the toolstrip to select it and then click anywhere else on the form. When I do that, the OpenFileDialog should appear on the component tray where I can then select it to enter code. This however does not happen.The only way I was able to get them to appear in the component tray was by opening the Menu program supplied on the DVD under chapter 4, selecting both of the above controls on the component tray, right clicking and then press copy. I then closed the Menu program and opened the MyMenu program that I created and then I was able to paste the two object controls to the component tray.
I went back to the original Menu program to see if I was able to place any other controls on the component tray by following the instructions in the book but was not able to. I also tried the same thing with MyMenu and it also still would not work.I have been unable to find anything that might explain why the component tray does not work as explained. Perhaps there is some setting somewhere that needs changed, but all searches have been unsuccessful.
PS. I have entered this on one of the other MicroSoft forums and although it has gotten multiple views I have not yet received any feedback.I also get the following error: Cannot add component of type 'ToolStripButton' to container of type 'form'.

At the end of the re-installation of Visual Studio 2008, there is this message: "Microsoft SQL Publishing Wizard: [2] Error: Installation failed for component Microsoft SQL Publishing Wizard. MSI returned error code 1638" in the log file dd_error_vs_procore_90.txt.
When I searched for just "MSI returned error code 1638", I got that it
cannot install something because it is already installed: "Another version of this product is already installed. Installation of this version cannot continue. To configure or remove the existing version of this product, use Add/Remove Programs on the Control Panel".
In Add/Remove Programs I see these two programs:
Microsoft SQL Server Database Publishing Wizard 1.3
Microsoft SQL Server Database Publishing Wizard 1.4
Are these programs/versions what the error is refering to? Am I safe to remove them and depend on the similarly-named item which would be newly installed with Visual Studio 2008 - "Microsoft SQL Publishing Wizard"?
I still use SQL Server 2000 and 2005 on my computer, as well as 2008.
I had installed VS 2008 on my computer before without this problem and also have VS 2005 and 2010.

I have spent the past week trying to get my copy of Visual Studio 2010 Professional to work on my Windows 7 Professional 64-bit laptop, with no avail.
Every time I try to create a new form using Visual Basic, an error message saying that Microsoft Resource File To COFF Object Conversion Utility has stopped working, and I cannot even run the new form to see if my coding is correct.
I have managed to find that it has something to do with the cvtres.exe file, but after a solid hour of research, I have found numerous others with a similar problem, but no solutions.
I have done registry scans, reinstalled Visual Studio about 3 times and have done many other suggested fixes that have done nothing but waste my time.

My VB.NET application uses Microsoft Flex Grid Control 6.0. This is a legacy application which has been ported from VB6 with the Visual Studio conversion wizard. Although I can compile the assembly, I get a COMException because some class is not registered. I've found out that this class is the Microsoft Flex Grid Control 6.0.
Where can I find the control and how can I register it on machines so that the application will run?

I've had a program using Office Web Components operational for about 5 years. I just installed Windows updates to the Vista 64 operating system, and now under Visual Studio express edition with Visual Basic, I am getting over a hundred error messages related to the following:
'Office' is not a member of 'Microsoft'
So, for example, the program has references like
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Owc11.ChCharts
and I now get an error message
[Code]....
how to fix it so these error messages disappear? (Where did Office go, and does it still contain Interop.Owc11, wherever it is?)

I have been using Excel in vb.net for years and no problem but I have a new app and nothing is working. First I can't get Microsoft.office.interop referenced anywhere, which was weird. Then I can't instantiate Excel App.. Dim pExcel_App as New Excel.Application -- this gives me error "New cannot be used on an interface??But I can do this..Dim pExcel_App As New Excel._ExcelApplication -- where did this come from?Then I can't put anything into cells Dim wkbSheet As Excel.Worksheet wkbSheet.Cells(1,1) = "Title" --- this give me an error "Expression is a value and therefore cannot be the target of an assignment"
THe really weird thing is that I have an old app open at the same time that is just fine with all this code. AND the intellisense is different for each cell.The good one sets is as a range, the bad one says it is an object???I re-installed the MS PIA's but this didn't help.

I have referenced the Microsoft Office 11.0 Object Library and am using it to "run" my custom spell check dialog, meaning I am populating and looping through the spelling errors, instead of showing the standard Word dialog. I am trying to figure out how to "ignore" a word or "ignore all" words from appearing as a misspelled word again. Shouldn't there be a ignoredwordlist or something?

both client and server systems installed office 2007 and added reference microsoftexcellibrary 12.0
created assembly for the application and calling the code from the form.

I was bored and started to build a launcher for MS office. It has 5 buttons and each button launches a program, then my launcher closes.Each button has this
Me.Close()
Shell("C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice12WINWORD.exe")
This works fine, but Word loads so fast that by the time the program has closed, word is in the background and i have to click on the taskbar to get it up. This kind of defeats the object of it. I'm trying to be lazy here!!Also, each button has an image on, but i want you to be able to press a key for each button. Is that possible? Ultimately Laziness?

I am working on a legacy VB.NET application that uses Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word, with Office 2003 installed on the server. When I publish my site, even though my config file clearly shows v11: The site will crash saying v12 couldn't be found: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)
Note: I currently have Office 2003 & 2007 installed on my dev machine, also, when looking @ references I am given the option of selecting v11 or v12 (so v11 is def. there). Within a page on the site the page does an import statement for Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word. Is it possible to specify the version at this point, or any way to force it to use v11 without me uninstalling my v12?

I have developed visual basic 2005 windows application on windows XP with Office 2003.I am using Microsoft Office Spreadsheet Component. I am using Axinterop.Owc11.dll.If i deploy my application on windows 7 with office 2007, My application gives error at loading point of that component.
so when i run my application it gives me error "unhandled exception has occured in your application. if you click..Attempetd to read or write protected memory. this is often an indication that other memory is corrupt."so i copied my sourcecode on that machine and debug. When i run my application in debug mode it won't give me error but if i run my application without debugging it gives me above error.
I found that it give me error in InitializeComponent()
Me.xls1 = New AxMicrosoft.Office.Interop.Owc11.AxSpreadsheet
CType(Me.xls1, System.ComponentModel.ISupportInitialize).BeginInit() Me.xls1.DataSource = Nothing
Me.xls1.Enabled = True
[Code]...
Any idea how to resolve this error. axinterop.owc11.dll and interop.owc11.dll are in application folder.
