I create my setup packages.I then run setup.exe and I go through the whole process.Only problem: My application doesn't actually update.I know, because when logging to a file, I write a string that I manually modify with 'version' information, prior to building the setup project.When I then run my application, this string is written to that file.Before the update and after the update, that version info is the same.If I then uninstall my application ( and then I must do this - remove the application folder ( that was previously created ), which was never removed during the uninstall ), and then re-run my setup, the version info is now correct.
I have an application which has been deployed in a setup programme, but have lost the original project setup code.The new versions setup project has a different 'Upgrade code' GUI in the setup project and therefore when you try and upgrade the product it throws an error saying that a later version of the product is installed!
Is there any way for me to retrieve the Upgrade Code from an installed version of the program so that I can amend the new installer to match the old program.The program has to be installed to 350+ desktops via active directory, so no answers with silly shortcuts that only work for a single PC please people.
I want to create a real setup project for my application so when someone want to download it he can run only setup, not default setup that provide me VB . How can I do that?
I have a question for many years.. Suppose if I Deployed a project using Setup Project. After some time, I added some features or modify it on customer demand.
1) How do I make a upgrade project so that the user runs the setup and the new changes are upgraded on the client system.
2) How do I automatically create ODBC System DSN Connections.
I support applications in VB6 and VB2003, and I'm trying to upgrade the VB6 app to VB2005, so I have three versions of Visual Studio on my pc. I ran VS2005 and opened the VB6 app to launch the upgrade wizard. It seemed to run fine until it threw an error saying it could not find the project it just created. The project I'm trying to upgrade is called MGxFromSAP.vbp. The error said it could not find MGxFromSAP.vbproj. The project file it actually created is called MGxFromSAP.vbproj.vs7.vbproj. When I try to open this project in VS2005 it says it was created in an earlier version of Visual Studio and needs to be upgraded.Did it perhaps invoke the VB2003 upgrade wizard instead of the new one? How would I be able to tell?
Should I just let VS2005 upgrade the vs7 project or should I try to deinstall the old VS2003 upgrade wizard and rerun the upgrade from scratch?
I've finally got a project compiled and tested and ready to roll out.I have discovered that the "Publish" option is not what it seems, and that we must create a separate "Setup Project" to carry out the task of installing the files.This is not the most intuitive process I've seen, and the online help on that subject is not easy to understand.I was hoping that someone could direct me to a tutorial or guide that would step me through the specific approach I need. Many of the other guides online are vague and address multiple scenarios and do not separate the approaches very well.I have the contents of my project in /bin/release. It runs nicely by iteself with no errors.Here's what I need:
1. To create a setup exe that I can distribute that will install my software, with all of the supporting (resource) files and folders. 2. I need the setup process to force the installer to "agree" to a EULA. 3. I'd would like to provide an image on the installation screen/popup. 4. I would like the software registered in the registry and rely on it being there in the registry. 5. I need it to default to program filesprojectname (it does by default)
I new to this Forum and relatively new to VB programming. I have read some really good posts here and thought I would ask about a perplexing problem I'm having. I createdindows Form application, built it and deployed it with no problems. However, when I added a small block of code, re-built the app and went to add the app to the Project Output Group in the file system editor the project was not in the Project drop down list. I closed the Setup project and deleted it from the project folder and checked my code and re-built the app and tried the Set Up project again with the same result

Ok, imagine the simplest solution in Visual Studio 2008 with framework 3.5 (OS = Win XP) where I have added a class library. Then I've added a COM Class. This COM Class is so simple, it only exposes 1 function:
Public Function SayHello() As String Return " Hello." End Function

I am using vs 2003 to build a setup project but got this error message"Could not find file ..., Not enough storage is available to complete this operation."I checked the path of the file, it is correct. After I remove this file from the setup project, I can build it successfully and the result msi file is about 250MB, the file I removed is about 260MB, is there any limitation about the size of the file in setup project or the total size of msi file? If so, how can I build the setup project?

I added a setup project to a winform vb.net app which otherwise builds fine. Once the setup project is added to the solution, however, the build fails with the following error;Unrecoverable build error.As there does not seem to be much information I can't figure what the problem is. What can I do from here to fix this to get deployment package?

I need to make a setup file for my vb.net project. I use sql server 2005 & VS 2008. I want to make setup file which is write in CD and use any another system.
I have a series of 12 individual projects developed under a single solution. Now I want to create a Setup Project for installation of these projects. I want to have single setup.exe as output which should install either 1 one of these 12 projects based on the user selection.Whenever user tries to install these by clicking setup.exe, he must be provided the option of selecting the project and then installation should proceed installing the corresponding exe.
i wanted to know the primary output and other types of files listed when u add project output what exactly they are how they r used.Another thing what comes under detected dependencies.?
