Publishing An Application In An Old Version Of .NET
Dec 30, 2010
I've written a really simple launcher app for my team at work to use. However I wrote it in VB.net Express 2010 so its using .NET 4. I need it to be compatible with older machines that are using .NET 2 or maybe 2.5. I don't want to force upgrading to a higher .net if its not needed. And in some cases we work on old machines that can't be upgraded. My app is really simple and I'll post the code if needed. I am still a noob, my coding is ugly, and this is a quick and dirty tool.
Is it possible to change the application version without publishing the application? Because I'm going to make an auto updater which needs some version information to work, but I don't want to have an installer.
I'm having some problems with publishing an application I constructed in Visual Basic 2010 Express Edition. My application is used to calculate uncertainty coefficients, as per ISO requirements for fluid flows. My application calls 4 COMs:
I have a XML file with the latest application version number, I have this loaded into a variable, how can i compare this against the application.info.version to see if it's the latest version??
I have recently created an application with Visual Basic.NET. I published my application and installed it. Now the question is that I need to know where exactly does the application gets installed on my system ?
About publishing my program. there's a lot of files made after publishing unlike in vb6 when i converted it to exe file theres only one file. hmm how can i make just one exe file in vb9 is it possible? another question do i have to install the program after publishing?
i can publish my app fine.it creates the setup and the rest of the files, whatever they are.on my operating system, the setup runs fine.when trying to install it on another system, it asks for the microsoft 3.5.net.this update can take quite a while.how can i publish my app, in such a way that it can run from the files in the setup and not have to have any other addons, as .net framework. i know it's possible, since i was able to install other software before i had the .net framework.
i just finished an application it works good when i debug but i tried to publish it and the publishing fails with errors that some files are double but i don't get what the problem is the error details are as follows
PLATFORM VERSION INFO Windows : 6.1.7600.0 (Win32NT) Common Language Runtime : 4.0.30319.235
I have a vb.net application that has to be published on the server to a specified path. After publishing, when I try to install the application, I get the below error msg:

In my code I've allowed used to create their own mazes and save them, under whatever name they like. I've also included a few pre-created mazes. The mazes themselves are saves in .txt files in the bin/debug folder of the project, along with a .txt file containing the maze names.
I really need to publish this program to send it to my teacher, but when I publish it it doesn't include any of the .txt files in my bin/debug folder.
I have created a windows application. Now i am ready to distribute and install the program, but I want to have the user need a password to install the program. Like a product key that I could set per individual customer. Is there a way to do this?
I have added some files that I need to be downloaded to the Application start up path. So I set Build Action as content now the files have been copied some where C:Documents and SettingsTestUser.ANNAMLocal SettingsApps2.0DataHVDRBMY5.8AA858AT9VM.TNP est..tion_2d7cfc137d9c2c74_0001.0013_432bd4561850d290Data How can access file from the application. My problem since it is a dynamic path will it be same folder count so that we can use like ....Data Some think like this
Using: VB 2008 Express?I created an application that connects to my MySQL, and everything works fine, but...
1. On my development computer, Windows 7, 64bit, I add the MySQL.data.dll file as a reference. I publish the program, run the setup.exe, and sucess.
2. I then copy my published folder to my test computer, Windows Vista 32 bit, and upon running the setup, the program fails to work because it cannot find the Mysql reference.
3. I then transfer my entire project over to my Vista computer, publish the program, run the setup.exe, and sucess.
4. I finally found out what was happening. My Windows 7 comptuer was not including MySql.Data.dll.deploy file in the Application Files published directory; but when I compiled it on the Vista machine this MySql.Data.dll.deploy was included.
So, in the end, I cannot compile the program on Windows 7, because it fails to create the .deploy file, and use it on Vista or XP (for some reason Win7 doesn't need this .deploy file?); but I can publish it on the Vista machine and install it fine on Windows 7, Vista, or XP. My targe CPU setting is Any computer.
I have windows application in which I get currently windows logged in username using following environment property
System.Environment.UserName But when I ran application using visual studio, it works without any problem. But when I publish application & try to run it, it get System.Environment.Username value as nothing.
cause of this issue? Or any other alternative to get current system logged in username.
I've made a fairly good Windows form application to solve quadratic equations, but I am having a hard time understanding the publication process microsoft uses in Visual Studio. I'd like to distribute my programm as freeware on my blog.
Trying to publish a click once type app to a local directory and create a websetup with the published contents- so that i can give tat setup to install in two different servers. but as the publishing wizard takes a URL - separate setup is required for each server. Is there any way that i can create a single setup which i can use it in two servers..?
I have a solution with two projects. The main project connects to the second project via a reference, and the reference path is local to my machine. It looks like it references the .exe file.So when I publish the main project (ClickOnce), i get the following error: Application validation did not succeed. Unable to continue.In the log file, under Error Details, it says
System.Deployment.Application.InvalidDeploymentException (RefDefValidation) - Reference in the manifest does not match the identity of the download assembly Project2.exe - Source: System.Deployment
How can I include this second project? Should I publish it, then reference the published files? What do i reference? The .application file?Is there a way to just include this second project, so when I do publish the main project, the second one just goes along with it?
How can I get the versioning info which is located in the properties of a non-running application. In other words, something perhaps as simple as :[code...]
I would like to display the application version as in Help -> About in microsoft office. It's going to be displayed in a label maybe. I have this code but it does not work, it always displays 1.0.0.0..... -.-
Well I just did an update on my application-i fixed a few major bugs and minor bugs and did some UI enhancements- my old version was 1.0.0.0 should it now be 1.0.1.1 or 1.0.1.0 or 1.1.0.0 or 1.1.0.1? I need to know when I should change each point...Should my revision increment increase by one every sing time, even if i updated the build? The Minor? Major? Please Help-I want my application to be as professional as possible.
I created an application in vb.net using visual studio 2010. I want to create an installation file of the application that will not be free with a license so I want to create a trial of 30 jours.
I need to display the version number of the application on the top bar of the application. I managed to crate a setup wizard but I have no idea how to manage the verions.
I have developed an application in VB.net which uses R Programming language. The library that help connect VB.net to R is called R-DCOM. The application requires the user to install R-Programming language into the user's computer. The application was working all fine until there was a version change in the R-Programming language. The specific libraries involved with this are: Interop.STATCONNECTORCLNTLib.dll, Interop.StatConnectorCommonLib.dll and Interop.STATCONNECTORSRVLib.dll. It also uses StatConnectorClnt.tlb, StatConnectorSrv.exe and StatConnLib.tlb to run the application. Is this something related to "DLL hell". Is there a fix to that I may not have to recompile and install the original code and install them to the user's computer all over again.
I would like to know how to speed up the new version of a vb.net 2008 desktop application. The old version of the vb.net 2008 dektop application ran extremely fast.Is there some kind of .net tool I can use to see where the bottle necks are located at?The new version is necessary since the production database will be changing in a month.
If I create an application in VB.NET using Visual Studio 2008, what version of the .NET Framework do other people need to have in order to run my program? Is it the same every time, or does it depend on what the application actually does?
You can get the version of your application sing My.Application.Info.Version. Is it also possible to set this version using code? This because I have a webservice that connects to a database and retrieves a version number.My application then compares that version number with his one, if it's old.. then it will download new files and change his version number.
