View 4 RepliesThe 'DefaultLocation' for my application is set to '[ProgramFilesFolder]MyApp'. Now I would like the user to select what drive to install this application to. I know this is accomplished through the 'Installation Folder Selection' dialog, but I want the user to be able to select a drive only, not the entire path.
My question is how do I capture what drive the user selected from the 'Installation Folder Selection' dialog and use that drive letter to tack on to my 'DefaultLocation' variable?

I know the above steps are correct and should work because i did it in the other application (solution) and worked fine. When i did same exact steps (of course i changed the folder name to be created), the application gets deployed but when i install, i don't get the Personal Folder under Documents? I wonder why did it work with my first solution and didn't work with the current one!
The default installation of my setup project is as follows:

I have a vb.net windows form app that I am deploying as using the visual studio deployment project. The app needs to write event logs to the application log in the event viewer. For reasons explained here I need to create the event source during the installation process. Something like this to run as part of the installer
If Not EventLog.SourceExists(My.Application.Info.ProductName) Then
EventLog.CreateEventSource(My.Application.Info.ProductName, "Application")
End If
That code needs to be run during the installer with elevated privileges. So my questions are:
How do I execute that code above as part of the installer? How do I get the installer to do the UAC prompt to allow that code to run as part of the installation?

View 1 RepliesHave built a project and associated it with a Setup&Deployment Project. The S&D project needs to contain 2 main folders (under User's Desktop) with various formats of files (xmls, txts, dlls) inside them and several subfolders. How can i copy/import these 2 folders and there sub-files/folders into my s&d project?
When adding them in the usual way, they are copied and defined a source path onto the current pc. You can understand what errors this might create when an another targeted pc does not contain those files to the exact location. Is there any way to copy them locally or somehow import them?

I have an excel file with few macros written in VB language..
Now I want to create an installation file that will install this Excel file onto clients machine at a predefined (or user chosen) location just how a normal installation file works.. I also want the user to put a serial code that will be validated (don't know how)..
I think making an installation file in VB.NET is possible. My question is can I make installation file with just an excel in it and the feature of validating serial code using VB.NET?.. If it is possible that would be great.. otherwise what other solutions do I have..

My company has an application that until now has been distributed as exe-file together with lots of dlls. I am about to make an installtion program for this application, but there is one big problem.

I know how to insert a custom action in the installtion program to enable to let the user chosse this during installtion, but I don't know how to include the database in the project, especially since it can be both access and SQL.
View 3 RepliesI have developed a WinForm app using vb.net. The app needs to send an email notification to users containg the id of an item that needs thier attention. The email needs to contain the link and commandline parameters so that the user can clik on the link and the app will open the correct form, with the item to be updated, already loaded. Click Once installs the app under the users directory ("Documents nd setting\%USERNAME%Start MenuPrograms\%AppName%..."), so, the email has to contain the user name as part of the path.
- How can click once be configured so that the instalation is in the program files directory to avoid having to add the username as path of the path?
- how do send a link which contains a parameter that directs the app to load a speciified form (not the startup form)?
I have a vb.net application . I have added references of Ms Excel into the application.In my machine both vs and ms office are installed
Now I move my code to another machine where only vs was installed and not ms office . When I run the code from vs it works perfactly.
Now I make installer. I install it on my machine and it works
I also install it on another machine where ms office not installed and it does not work .
my question is why it is working when I am running from code and not when I am running from Installed shortcut ?
and should I need to install ms office also on the machine to run the application from Installation. ?
