VB 2008 Express Published Exe Will Not Run On Other Computers
Mar 11, 2010
Application runs fine on the computer that I used to create it.The application has 3 functions:
Button1...locate and preview an image file.
Button2...creates an email with html link...creates an html page file...ftp's the image and html files to server...sends email.
Button3...ftps image file only.
Publish and install on another computer and I have problems.
Button 1...Will load and preview file correctly.
Button 3...ftp image file only.
Button 2...I get an error (my own 'failed' message)
I have the same net framework 3.5 sp1 on all computers.What am I missing?I am thinking now it is code, but why does it will work on one and not the other.Do I need to install VB 2008 express on every computer that will be running this app just to insure that the computers are the same?

I've been working on a piece of software for a few weeks now and I've got to the point where I'm publishing it and testing it on other computers, namely my colleague's. We're both working on the same network and have similar permissions for our accounts, but for some reason the application will launch on my account but not his.
We've tried using the same computer and just changing accounts, but that won't work either; he still isn't able to launch the published application.
I receive the standard "[x] has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." message.
What is baffling me is that we've tried previous versions on his computer and they worked just fine. I can't think of any changes that I've made that would suddenly stop the application from running.
A few extra pieces of information: the application has a splashscreen, which displays for a few seconds before the error message crops up. In this time, the program is supposed to check if certain files and directories exist and, if not, create them. It also changes file attributes. These files exist in a directory we are both able to access and both have permissions to change. It also changes and sets some variables within the program itself, but I don't see that being an issue. It is able to catch exceptions of type IOException and InvalidOperationException (which was being thrown when a computer didn't have access to the intranet).

I installed VB 2010 Express on 2 different computers using the same activation key. An XP machine and a win 7 machine. Is this is allowed? There is no FAQ and since its free I figured this was OK. Is there a Microsoft Certified person here that has an answer for this 100%?

I wrote this VB program to be able to throw a device we developed into programming mode where we use an ATMEL Flip installer to upload new firmware. I can program one device after another running the application off of Visual Studio Express 2010 or Visual Studio 2010, but when I go to publish this file and run it on another machine, it becomes unstable and crashes after each upload. On those same computers if I run the raw unpackaged program under Visual Studio Express, the system does not crash, and I can program devices repeatedly.

I have written a fairly basic application. It reads txt files, loads a SQL, and outputs to text files. The application compiles and publishes without an error. The app works perfectly on my PC. I can not get it to work on any other PC. Application will install without an error but when I try to launch the app, nothing happens. Running out of ideas to try and hoping someone may have some tips or tricks to try and see what is going on that I have not tried.I am running Windows 7 Pro - 64 with Visual Studio 2008. The only references are for .net 2.0 and ADODB.DLL. I have setup the app to include all references as local copy to true.
I have tried installs on Windows 7 Pro, Windows Server 2000, Windows Server 2003, Windows XP Pro, and Windows Vista. All install without error. Have tried installed as user with admin rights and the PC's primary admin account. When you launch the app, there are no messages in all OS except Windows 7. It will basically Flash a message about checking for compatability and run you through a wizard to see if running as XP or Vista works and it doesn't.

I have a windows form app. project and when I start the debugger my form with datagridviews works fine, but when I publish the application the exe file does not work. When I double click the exe file, I get two small empty windows and the second one has a ok button on it, when I click it both windows disappear. I work with vista 64 bit and I have made another small editform which works fine.

Whenever I publish my app, or when I run the exe from teh debug folder it takes a couple of seconds before the splash screen shows.However, when I run it from within VB (by pressing the "play" button) the splash screen shows immediately.
What could be the cause of this?

I have published application before and they all (3 setup files) work fine. The problem is I don't know anymore how I exactly did it. Now I am trying to publish another form which has a connection to my sql database. The publishing goes fine: publishing folder is: C:Movie-databaseApplication 4 and installation folder is the same, and I therefore leave it empty. Application is available only online. But when I execute the published setup.exe I get two windows with no info about the error: see attachment.

I have updated a VB 2008 Winform program and published it on a shared folder. The customer can no longer use it because, at launch time, it claimed for SQLServer.Diagnostic.STrace v 10.0.0.0, what it did not before. The only thing I can think at is that I have also recently installed VS 2010 on my PC. Does it change the way VS 2008 work ? How can I solve this issue on the customer PC ?

I'm just using the default SQL Server Express in my vb 2008 express edition as my database server for my database operation. When I tried to update the records on my table I got a runtime error which indicates the error on this line 'myCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()'and it highlights a yellow background on it. The runtime error says "SqlException was unhandled: An expression of non-boolean type specified in a context where a condition is expected, near 'Number'. ".

I tried to start using VB 2010 Express with a program I originally developed with VB 2005 Express that I moved to VB 2008 Express successfully a couple years ago. It uses a database file (*.mdf) that is on the computer ( not out on a server). When attempt to run the program in debug mode, I get the following error "An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file C:Documents and SettingsTomMy DocumentsQuizzing StuffQuestion Database 2010QuizQuest ionGameQuizQuestionGameinReleaseQuizQuestionDB.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share."
I first made a copy of the entire project folder that was working in VB 2008 Express and gave it a different name. In VB2010 I opened the project in the copied folder and it said it successfully converted the project. I am able to open the Data Source inthe Designer and see the database structure as I expect. I think the project is still using SQL Server 2005 Express (because it is what is checked in the list of prerequisites on the Publish tab).
Note, I have programmed off and on for many years, but fairly new to using databases and SQL Server.

Here is the scoop: I am trying to make a user account SQL database work with Visual Basic 2008 Express for login purposes, i.e. usernames & passwords. Plan is to host this server so people can login to use the the application and verify they have a valid account. I would like to host all the account information in SQL due to the possiblity of hundreds of users at any given time. I also need the ability to add data to the database for users registering for the first time. The SQL server will need to be able to access the SQL Server databases remote via WAN.

I am trying to re write a VB6 program using MS Access, many years ago, using VB 2010 express and SQL server 2008 R2 Express. I have a database with several tables, which I created using the designer. I am able to connect to the database and select data and display it in textboxes etc in vb code. What I have not been able to in code is to INSERT rows DELETE rows or UPDATE any data in the tables. I can do any of these operations using the Query Designer, but I want to do it in code. I can post some code if necessiary, but I thought it might just be some property that I had not set in the designer.

I have SQL 2008 Express and Visual Basic 2008 Express runing on XP Professional SP2. When I select add new data source from VB I don't have the option to connect to SQL Server 2008 express to get at the to SQL Server Database. I also notice that the OLE DB connector is not availble as a data connector. Can somebody please confirm that VB 2008 Express can connect directly to SQL Server 2008 Express and how I can achieve it.
