I have Visual Studio 2008 Pro. First of all, I realize that an executable gets placed in the bin directory, but I don't want to go there everytime I build by project. Also, building doesn't seem to increase the version number. I want to be able to use the publisher, which increases the version number, but I want to only end up with a single file, an executable. I also want it to be able to check for updates.

The application pool that you are trying to use has the 'managedRuntimeVersion' property set to 'v2.0'. This application requires 'v4.0'.

I want to publish my windows application. I can't do this for some reason. My program revolves around an Access database. So I realized that my connection string has to change from my project folder to where ever the user decides to install the program. Even when I install it on my computer, my add/update statements don't work, they do work however when I debug my program.

View 1 RepliesI'm a beginner with Visual Studio and a Mac user switching to Windows. Well, I'm ready to release the first freeware title. So I go to Build > Publish (application name). And the Publish Wizard guides me through the process and asks me where to publish this application. Do I point it to C:Program Files ? The permission of this folder is set to Read-only. So I'll get an error with this path. I can successfully publish the application if I point the path to Desktop. But that's not a good location where users install applications, is it?
View 3 RepliesI made an application which controls the parallell port and i want to publish it so i can install it in other PCs.The app i made uses some libraries or .dll files which i copied manually to the C:/WINDOWS/system folder.When i use the option Build>Publish Project.. i can create an installer but it doesnt install the .dll files.My question is:¿Can i create some sort of installer that includes those files into the system folder, or should i always manually copy them?
View 2 RepliesI have an application that I have written in vb.net that is going to be deployed to about 100 people throughout my company as a desktop application.Is there a way for me to make updates or rebuilds and deploy those changes to users without having to make them uninstall the application and re-install the updated version? I have been using the build function inside vb.net and it publishes and creates an install but any time I make changes or updates to the app I have to un-install and re-install the .app to my desktop.
View 1 RepliesOk let me start by saying i know this is going to be something stupid. But... when i publish my latest app and then navigate to the folder i published it too i have no exe file ...
Let me clarify ... when i go into the correct build folder under application files i only have 3 files
a click once file
a .exe.deploy file
and a .exe.manifest file
I have looked at some of my other projects and the only real difference is the deploy file... why is this being created?
On a side note if i simply take the .deploy off leaving simply .exe the program runs as expected ...
I am nearing the end of my journey with the application i have spent the last few months working on.
Now my question is this...How do you go about making an installer? Obviously i am sure you have worked out now i mean the exe you click and choose instalation folder/desktop short cut or not/add to start menu. accept the agreement etc
Now i know vb.net has a publisher that i have looked at but is that the same? how to make my application have an installer.
I'm looking for a way to have my code build two copies of itself at once.The program has an "A" and a "B" configuration that need to be compiled as Prog-A.exe and Prog-B.exe every time the code is compiled. I can do this manually, but I assume there's some way to do it in code? What I'd like is to use conditional compilation to have the A configuration compile so that it runs a "setup as A"-type method on load, and the B likewise, and then have it compile both versions each time.

important info : my o.s. is windows7
i just recently published my app, and when i try to locate the exe file from the start menu/my app folder/my app shortcut's properties, i get this as a directory:
C:Users rujadeAppDataRoamingMicrosoftWindowsStart MenuProgramsmy application
now when i go to that location, in windows explorer, all there is a shortcut looking icon. when i check the properties for that, the Type of File : is Application Reference (.appref-ms) . is this my app, and if so, why does it have that little arrow on the icon like shortcut icons do?
i cannot seem to locate the .exe file by doing a system search, other than locating my other similar app which is located in a set folder and was not run from a setup. and if possible, how can i install my app in c:program files and not that set location?
how if it possible to publish program straight to wep. I asked before another question about publishing and making setup files, that worked well. But now I have finished other of my programs and I want to know can I somehow add it straight to wep site? I have now used suntuubi.com as own wep site, it's not the best but its free :) And I have usually posted a link to download setup from mediafire (or some other) but can I run that program from my page without any downloads? I made that program with windows forms application, do I need to use wbf broswer application? ( if so, can I somehow fastly switch it without making everything again?) And one more, if it is possible in some other wep site than suntuubi.com can you recommend it?
View 1 RepliesWhen I publish my program, I can't see the folder that I have in my solution explorer appears together with other files. I have been wondering how to add a folder or I do it wrongly. I have using this method:-Project.. add... new folder and I name it as SC1. But when I publish it, I can't see in in application files(It's not embedded together). I can't use add existing as it required me to add a very specific files (Not a folder ). As what I can see, there is not specific properties for folder sc1 (build action /copyto output directory).
View 11 RepliesNow I have finished my another really small program. I have tryed to publish in several ways but with now result. So how can I publish it easily? I will share it so I'd like to have just one "setup" file which creates the another necessary files. (or just one bigger file?) but the main thing is that I dont want to start share 4-5 files...
I get it worked on my computer, that's not a problem. But then I upploaded all of the files (4-5) to mediafire, destroyed program from my computer and downloaded those files: Program didnt worked: Sayd just "U havent downloaded all necessary files" (something like that).
Well I think it's possible also to publish to new wep site. In fact I tryed to make wep site (with www.nettisivu.org ) (finnish quite good wep-page-creater) but the same result: no results at all. If this is the easier way, how I could upload my program straight to that site? In that "wep-page-creator" the final site looks that: xxxxx.nettisivu.org and editing page looks: xxxxx.nettisivu.org/wp-admin/page.php?action=edit..... (xxxxx=my name for site)

View 5 RepliesI wrote a little (like 40 lines little) Winforms application with VB.net in Visual Studio 2010. Now I've released the code as a Google Code project. It's easy for a developer to get the source but I'd like to make it easy to install too.
What I did was make a release build then zip up what it created, this included a setup.exe. There was also an option to "publish" my project which looks like it can enable update checks and other stuff.
