Am I crazy or is there no Setup and deployment for the standard edition?I have already ran the install template command with no luck so I have to wonder if it is included. It should be listed under Other project types, but it is empty.
I cannot use the application I build because I am using the MS Power tools shape control and I cannot find anyway to add it when I build my application and looking up info on the Power Tools there is a check box that you select in the setup and deployment which I don't have.

I've bought the Standard Edition 2008 and the Publish wizard seems to behave in much the same as Express ClickOnce. Is there some way I can get it to deploy the Publish setup.exe files to C:Program Files? Is there some way I can tell it what extra .txt and .xls files are part of the application? I cannot see anything about adding files as part of the app. I've looked at what I'm supposed to get with Standard, but have not found quite the detailed documentation I'd like.
I have just purchased VS2008 SE to run on my PC with VS2005 SE. I have been developing a WM6 application using the VS2008 PE trial, the trial period has now ended, hence the purchase of VS2008 SE (full not upgrade). As a private user for hobby purposes I can not afford VS2008 PE. I am astonished to learn that in actual fact VS2008 SE is a step back from VS2005 SE in that the WM6 SDK's on not supported. I have read the below thread: url...I am also annoyed that on the WM6 SDK refresh download page it states clearly that VS2005 SE or higher must be used - hence the purchase of VS 2008 SE.As I have installed on my PC a full version of VS2005 SE and VS2008 SE, is there a way to develop WM6 devices with the tools I have or is VS2008 PE the only solution.
I have "Visual Studio 2008 Standard Edition" and "Crystal Reports XI Developer edition".I have to integrate crystal reports in my application.

Have 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 hv deployed my project using "Setup and Deployment" wizard. I hv installed MS VS.NET 2003 Bootstrapper Plugin -> A plug-in for creating deployment projects in Microsoft� Visual Studio� .NET 2003 that contain the .NET Framework version 1.1 and/or Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) version 2.7. still it is giving the error The setup requires .NET Framework 1.1.4322. Install the .NET Framework and run the setup again. The .NET Framework can be obtained from the web. Would u like to do this now?
I would like to get some advise from all of you. I created a program setup using standard procedure(adding new project.. setup and deployment, setup project). When I ran the setup and installed the program in computer, It's working. Then I decided to amend certain form in the program. I right click at solution"my program name" and click rebuild solution. then i try to run again the setup, there is nothing happen after that(It remain like before amendment). Did I miss anything here? I have never used this method before and this is my first time using it.
I have three Setup and Deployment problems that are making me even more crazy than I have been accused of currently being.#1 - My project(heavy on text file streamreaders) installs as it should on the target machine but I can only run it on said machine as administrator(works great)... I have tried changing the permissions on the installed project and that did not seem to work. Error - blah blah cannot access [filepath]? ([filepath] is correct and verified. Ideas? Can I set permissions in the install itself? How so?
#2 - #3 (Basically the same questions)I have directed Setup to install a Program Menu and Desktop Icon and it does so. The problem is that the icons are non functioning. I dont see where I can set an actual filepath for them in the Setup menus?A good tutorial on VB 2010 Setup and Deployment wouldnt hurt if anyone has a link.
how to setup my deployment project so that users can customize thier own settings in app.config? Which special folder in the File System browser should I add, Personal Data, Application Data, or Programs Menu? How do I add the app.config to the folder? What about the project output, should it also be in the same folder? If so, should the project output be taken out of the Application Folder, in other words, exist in one place? I tested my deployment and was shocked that the icon only opened on the test user's pc after installation. I have custom settings in the app.config file that have default values, but must be configurable for user specific settings.

I have application developed in vb.net 2005 with sql server database and also used crystal report in it. I have make the setup files using deployment wizard. Now the problem is that when I install the setup files, it work on some pcs while didnt run on some others. Framework 2.0 is in its prerequisites which I install before running setup. When I try to see error message, it gives server time out.

I have created an windows application in VB.NET 2008 ad want to create the setup but due to newer in VB.NET i could get expected result from the setup such as....
1.I want to deploy only those items which are highly needed.
2.I want to check the system requirement ie.version of framework,sql database,crystal report etc..
3.I want to set the automatic connection string to the databsase such wherever theaplication will be install it have to be run successfully.
When setting up the user interface I can add a radio buttons dialog with 2 buttons. How do I use the response to determine whether to display the installation folder dialog and custom actions?
can i do something like this : -when i uninstall the program, mydb.mdb is not deleted and stay still. -when i reinstall the program again, the setup and deployment will check if mydb.mdb is already exist or not in the installation path, if mydb.mdb is already exist,then it would not be replaced(still using the old mydb.mdb). but when mydb.mdb is not exist in installation path, the setup will copy mydb.mdb into the installation path
I have VS 2008 VB project that I have created a Setup and Deployment project for.When the install starts, it give a message that .NET 3.5 is required and asks if the user wants to download.On the programs Advanced Compiler Settings, I have the Target Framework set to .NET 2.0, but the deployment still prompts to download .NET 3.5.
So I have a simple Outlook Add-in I've developed and that works, i.e. when I build the project the add-in is available to Outlook and is loaded. Works great. And so to distribute the add-in here at work I want/need to create a setup deployment project, which I've added to my add-in solution. I followed the walk-though from here: [URL]
Maybe I'm just searching around for the wrong information, but are there any good tutorials on Deployment or setup projects? I can make the little auto wizard that VS2008 makes for you, but my app needs more custom options. For instance my app will set up SQLserver 2008 and create the tables in it, but I can't find any useful info about how to make a custom setup/msi app.
For my .Net desktop apps I usually create an MSI installer (I create a 2nd project in my solution, a Setup & Deployment project) and I zip the setup.exe file with the <appname>.msi files together and put them up for download on my site. The installer will go through the process of asking where they would like to install the application (it creates the needed shortcuts and everything).
Right now I'm looking at adding a feature to some of these programs where it'll periodically check it's corresponding xml file on my web server and see if there's a newer version of itself available. I have this portion working just fine, where I'm stuck is that I would like to have it download a separate msi installer to update itself.
The idea is that it would download this different msi file, execute it while the app closes itself. This msi would not ask any questions, it would simply update the needed files in whatever location the first msi installer put the app. When this updater msi is done, it would just re-start the application.How would I go about making an msi installer that doesn't have any prompts and installs the application where ever the first msi installer put it (where ever the user chose to install it to)?
