Run Application Without Installation?
Jul 1, 2010
I am creating a small VB.Net (Framework 3.5, Visual Studio 2008) application, requirement is small.
I want to make an EXE and that should run without installation.
I am Ok if all the dependencies, like dlls, are present in ApplicationStartupPath().
The Application should be standalone without installation. Bcoz, I don't want to create a big scene to install a huge .Net Framework in client PC for just a small application, as I said the requirement is small.[code]...

I've published my application for installation via CD or DVD. I installed it on my machine and it worked fine. I have a couple of questions, I couldn't find the answer to in the GUI. First, when the application is installed, it immediately launches. Can I make something in the installation where a user can click a checkbox saying launch after install? If not, how can I disable the application from launching after the install. And secondly, the application is installed, a desktop shortcut is created, and the application is added to the programs on the start menu. How would I add an uninstall link in the program menu along with the icon to launch the application? Currently I have to go to the control panel add remove programs to remove the application.

My application first checks if an SQL Server is installed before it runs. If there is no server it installs one. Now I want the application to pause or exit during the installation, since its thread may compromise the installation process, or is it not?. How do I do this? The Sleep() mmethod may not help because I can't know how long the installation process would take.

I tried to do a test install yesterday on a laptop running Windows Vista Ultimate and I was unable to get it to run without an internet connection because it needed to download additional software. My application may be installed on a client computer that does not have an internet connection and I need to be able to provide this extra software on disk.

I 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.

I'm trying to publish the application and install it on another PC. However, when I install the app, it doesn't include the .wav files; I have to add them into the folder myself once the app is installed. They are included in the solution window under bin/debug before I hit publish.
Using
My.Computer.Audio.Play(Application.StartupPath & "" & "Treyson.wav")
to play the sound.

IDE: VS 2005 Pro
Language: VB
I am trying to figure out the right steps to have an installer for my application. My application is dependent on a 3rd party software application and obviously needs to be part of the installtion process. I am able to utilize the features of the 3rd party software via ActiveX control or COM.
1. What options do I have for sucessfully installiing theses softwares?
2. I have noticed there is "Interop.3rdPartyApp.dll" in the "release" folder. How do I use this? Where can I get more details on this file?

I have started working on the module based application (plugin based architecture) and client want setup of module that can be run later and added automatically in main application. So, what I am thinking to apply in module setup project is to find the installation directory of main application and then paste dll of module in specific sub-directory.
Is it possible? Is there any other way to add feature in main application later using setup?

I 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.

I have tested a few applications downloaded from net. They are surely database applications but when I checked in the folder where the application is installed, there is no database (no mdb, sdf etc.) When I install my application, my databases are always in the folder.
What is the trick to make them invisible but they should still work.

I can add a folder in the setup/deployment project and it gets added when my project is installed. when I do it by writing code, I get a message "access is denied", but the programme will continue to work. I eventually worked out that I had to right click the exe file (in programfiles) and run as administrator so that the directory is created (as the form loads).

I am developing an application in Vb.Net 2005 and have enabled the installation by clickonce, the update occurs before the application starts. My problem is very simple, the server that contains updates is correctly natted to be available from the outside with a public IP.
The clients who access from an external network connecting without problems, download software and updates. When local clients are connected to the same network of the server (LAN) can not download anything because they try to access the server with the ip public, and the nat does not work . We can not perform operations on the DNS server or hosts file and not even on the router.
I need to figure out if i can use ClickOnce to use more than one distribution server, primary and secondary. I'd like to set as the primary server the public address and the secondary server with internal network ip address.

I downloaded Vb express 2008 from Microsoft site. I am using WindowsXP The download was completed and when the setup starts the progressbar of .Net Framework 3.5 SP1 stops in half way and it is just stuck up with no further movement ahead even after 30 or 40 minutes time. I tried it several times but it just stucks up in half way.Because there are 5 or 6 components of vb express 2008 download and it installs only first component and when it reaches the second component of .Net Framework SP1 the progressbar just helds up in the half way.
