View 4 RepliesI have converted a Windows Forms VS2003 application to VS2005 and then to VS2008. It includes a setup project for deploying on the client computer (the regular installer, not click once). It works fine when I run it on my computer, either in VS or if I install using the setup installer. But when I install it on the client computer and then try to run it, I immediately get a System.InvalidOperation exception. I put in debug code before my code but it fails before it gets to any of my code. Both computers are XP. The client comptuter actually has VS2003, though it is not used.
I have tried it with either the 2.0 framework or the 3.5 framework (and included those as prerequisities) but neither makes a difference (and I did set that in the Launch conditions, as well as in the Advanced Compile Options). The application uses CrytalReports for VS.
I don't think I can run JIT debugging on the user computer due to permission issues. Are there any other debugging things I can try to narrow this down or has anyone encountered this.
I'm trying to make the transition from VB6 to VB Express edition 2008.I'm using the OneClick publish the 2008 IDE provides.It appears to build and package the app. I can upload it to my website for distribution.But when the app is downloaded and instaleld on a Vista OS target system, the following error happens:Unable to install or run the application.The application requires that assembly stdole Version 7.0.3300.0 be installed in the global assembly cache (GAC) first.I checked the system that the app is built on..XP..and the stdole file version is 7.0.9466.1.I searched for stdole* on the Vista box using "Computer", "OS","Local Hard Drives(C,D)) and although there are numerous stdole32.tlb and stdole.tlb, there are no stdole. dll files.The stdole.dll file is listed in the application files list on the publish tab of the OneClick dialog.is the stdole.dll problem on the XP dev system or on the Vista target system?The Vista system always gets the latest updates as does the XP system.

My clickonce app has the following pre-requisites: Windows Installer 3.1 .NET Framework 3.5 Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Report Viewer Microsoft Visual Basic Power Packs 3.0 SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP2 (x86) The application has been successfully installed on more than 30 computers. All but 2 computers, have had installation problems.
For awhile, one of the two computers in question, would not resolve installation of SQL server 2005 Express edition. It would go through the motions of downloading the program and then attempting an install and after a good 30 minutes, an error would show up indicating that the installation had failed. The user continued to have a nuisance error pop up appear when he'd log into his computer.Long story short, I resolved that problem. So now all of the pre-requisites are installed and confirmed as successfully installed. The clickonce application does not install however. The following log file was created as a result of this error:

View 2 RepliesI need to know where the Install Shield gets the user information from?
This comes up on the last page of an install at the bottom.
User Information:
Name:
Company:
Does this information comes from the machine that is installing and if so where? or Does this information get stored in the installshield project? If so How can I change this?
I have changed two registry keys from:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareWow6432NodemicrosoftWindows NTCurrent Version
RegisteredOrganization
RegisteredOwner
My application project was created before I made the change. I then deleted the install shield project and started over but got the same results..
For some reason my setup project says
user: Microsoft
company: Microsoft
I would like to change this to my User Information if possible.

View 6 RepliesMy freeware program launches 50 freeware programs and provides a guide for PC maintenance and health. As mentioned in another post, my program was reviewed on Sofpedia. One thing the Reviewer criticized was the fact that my program requires the user to install these 50 programs in the default locations (usually C:Program Filesx). The reviewer thinks it would be best if the user can install to any location he/she desires and my program be able to point to the proper location when launching the application.

My program has 1,000 + .rtf files and when I publish/Install it's HUGE! 200mb +. I have other apps from other software companies that have more documents than mine, and their entire application is around 50mb. What am I missing here? How do I accomplish the same thing? Does it have to do with the Property Settings of the .rtf files called: "Build Action" and "Copy to Output Directory"? I set my "Build Action" to "Content" for all my .rtf files, and set "Copy to Output Directory" to "Copy Always".
