Deployment :: Enable User To Define Install Location?
Jul 26, 2009My 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.

May 26, 2009I 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.

May 16, 2011Using Build ---> Publish is nice, but it installs (on the client's machine) into an esoterically-named directory. As you can imagine, this is a nightmare to backup. Does anyone know how I can direct this thing to install into a directory that I choose?

Nov 14, 2009 how you can choose the directory to install your program to because when I publish the program it installs only to the directory it was published to! would I need another program to move the files to the directory I want?also im using .mdb files in the program and I want these files to be installed to the same directory but the files arent even in the Application files folder when it is created so when I run the program I get an error telling me the program cant find the .mdb files at the location specified in the code
ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:UsersdazzaDesktopUserid.accdb
that is my connection string, obviously when I install the program it isnt going to be correct so how do I change it oce the program has been built#
VS 2008 - Publish Application Wont Install On The Xp
Jun 12, 2009i have created an application on my windows vista 64-bit computer. I need to be able to install the application on other computers. I copied over the setup.exe file as well as the other files that the publish wizard created onto my flash drive. I then put my flash drive onto a windows xp computer and copied over the install files. I ran setup.exe, it said it was installing .NET Framework 3.5 SP1. The progress bar didn't move for an hour. I canceled that and tried to just run the manifest. It prompted to 'run' it etc... i did that and it said the .NET Framework that i canceled was required.
When i built the application ClickOnce was not enabled, the second time i did it ClickOnce was enabled. I then started to play around with the files that were required. What is wrong? I need to be able to install this application on other computers but mine. It works perfectly on my vista but wont even install on the xp. Do you think i am just doing something wrong as i publish/build it?

VS 2008 When Publish It And Try To Install ClickOnce Output Files On Another PC
Apr 30, 2009I have finally finished an application which works really well on the PC upon which I developped it using VB 2008 Express.My problem is that when I publish it and try to install the ClickOnce output files on another PC (tried two so far, both WinXP) I get a missing files error. There is an error output saying that downloading the .exe.manifest file did not succeed. Unfortunately the error detail is confusing and does not seem to indicate exactly which files are missing.On both of the PC's that I tried I was prompted io install .net 3.5 SP1, which seemed to have been successful. The inference is that it is not a .net file that is missing.
View 2 RepliesDeployment :: Publish And Install A Win App Without Creating Start Menu Entry
Aug 19, 2009I've built a couple of Apps successfully, but having published them to a Network Folder, Non-Admin Users can't install them themselves because the Install attempts to create an Entry in the Start Menu. There may be other Security issues (I need 4 of the permissions included if I publish it as a Partial Trust Applications, which I think affect this) after this point that I'm not aware of, but yeah, it fails when trying to create a Start Menu item -
+ Access to the path 'C:Documents and SettingsJameOStart MenuProgramsMynas' is denied.
I think excluding the right is just part of the SOE, but is there some way I can create this and have it NOT create a Start Menu item, haven't been able to find any?

WCF Failover - Publish In Two Locations One As The Primary Location

I don't want code, I just want to know what it is called and were to find information about it so I can implement it.

VS 2010 Why Install Program Or Run From Published Location
Mar 1, 2012In the past I have written VB6 and VB NET 2005 programs that are installed and on the user's computer. This had to be done because the salesmen in our company have has a set of local data on their laptops so that they could do work and not be connected to our network. I would then sync the files when they connected to the network. (This same program is used by the rest of the company as well, but everyone else uses network data.)We are now at the point where we are not using any local data. Our salesmen access our network data using an iPad, VPN, and a Citrix server, which works fine
