I am wanting to use an application to package all my files together into a setup package. I have tried InstallShield 2011, but when i click on Visual Basic .net wizard, it tells me I do not have Visual Studio.NET installed on my system. I am currently using VB2010 Express How can I fix this... or is there a better application available for packaging?

View 1 RepliesI have created a windows application which Installs Multiple MSI's based on some condition. The project is created in Visual Studio 2008 with .Net framework 3.5; If this application runs in a machine which has atleast Dot Net 2.0 installs, it works fine. but the system without framework 2.0 throws an error "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135)"
How can I stop my application from crashing. I tried giving a check in the Main(), but it is not even firing the Main(); Is there any way I can give a prerequisite, But not in the Publish, Coz i am using the output exe and not the clickonce output..
I am trying to run the application created in the example at [URL] The code errors at the line dtsDataReader = dtsCommand.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.Default)
the error is A requested parameter does not exist in the package. I have checked everything that i can think of in the package Also when I try to run the package using the dtexecui utility I two errors "Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_PRODUCTLEVELTOLOW.

I finished an important project (Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition) and now I have to deliver it with an appropriate installation program. My product is composed by a lot of projects and each of them generates an exe file with its images, help, xml , database etc. A main exe calls a sub exe for the work it has to do passing appropriate parameters. I think is not suitable to use a click-once feature and I have looked for the deployment wizard but I didn�t found a complete documentation and moreover some example step by step.where can I find that documentation, tutorial and example ? It�s possible to customize the forms generated by the wizard ?

View 1 RepliesI have developed a windows forms desktop application using vb.net 2005. It is installed on client computers using a setup package.
One of the clients wants to redistribute the setup package to other users.
He wants to provide the users with an initialization file containing the database server name which they will be using, so that it is available when the application is installed. They are apparently incapable of physically typing in a server name themselves after installing the application.
Is there any way I can include a separate file with the setup package which the application can find after it has been installed?
I've created a setup project for a VB.NET 2010 application that I've written. The application, and the installer both work fine on my development machine.The installer works fine on other machines, but when I run my application it immediately crashes and dies without telling me anything useful. I've tried it on Windows 7, Windows XP, and Windows Vista machines... and all had the same problem, so I think it's more of a package configuration issue than a machine-specific problem.Here's the most useful information that I was able to get out of it:

I created a simple VB application in Visual Studio 2010.My computer, which I am using to create the program, is Windows 7 Pro, and SQL Server 2008 is running on a Windows Server 2008 Enterprise, which I have full access to.
I want to click a button and have an SSIS package execute.I looked around on the Internet and found examples, but they do not seem to work for me.I try to add a reference, Microsoft.SqlServer.ManagedDTS.dll, as a few sites advise, but it is not listed when I go to PROJECT>ADD REFERENCE.
I also type:
Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime but all I get is a squiggly green line, which when hovered over states "Namespace or type specified in the Imports 'Microsoft.SqlServer .Dts.Runtime' doesn't contain any public member or cannot be found." Below is some code I copied from one of the websites and pasted in my button click event (the path is correct), but a get blue squiggly lines under "Package" and "DTSExecResult":
Dim pkgLocation
As String
Dim pkg As
New Package[code]....
What can I do to make the SSIS package run when I click the button on the Windows application a created?
Is there a way to make a setup package on VB 2010 that will check prerequisite addons on clients PC?
The setup will check if MS Access 2010 Engine and Crystal Reports Runtime 2010 is installed. If the installer detected its already installed it will just install the application.
If one or both prerequisite is not found the installer will install the addon automatically.
I have a .chm file linked to my app that is presently being called from it's actual location.HelpProvider1.HelpNamespace = C:Documents and SettingsmgfranzMy DocumentsVisual Studio 2008ProjectsApp NameCleanUp.chm
But when I package the app the directory is going to change to C:Program FilesApp Name by default. The problem arises if the user decides to create an alternate directory. Is there a way to set a $Path at setup runtime so that when the .chm file is called it knows to look in the Home installation directory? Here is the code I use to call the .chm; Private Sub PictureBox1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles PictureBox1.Click

View 1 RepliesHi, can anyone help me with a click once deployment query?I have packaged an application, using Click Once - it all works absolutely fine, with the exception of some files I need on the C: drive. For example: My application populates an Excel.xlt template with data, using an export function. The path of the template is c:program filesaem
eport.xlt
If the application is packaged, there is no option that I can see where you can include this template and the path to the file. The only way around it is to manually copy the template (and half a dozen other files in the same folder), after the click-once deployment - but this kind of defeats the object.
The DBA has created a DTS package to update a SQL Server 2000 table. We have a VB .NET 2008 application that needs to execute this package. We thought that having the application execute a stored procedure to do this would suffice; however, we are exploring a way to execute the DTS package programatically.
View 1 RepliesI've been working on a project for my company that's completely implemented in VB6. However, we've been transitioning small parts of it over into VB.NET (v4.0). Previously, we would simply use the Package and Deployment Wizard to bundle everything up into a single setup executable, but I'm not confident that it will be enough this time. If it can, we'd like for the setup to check if the .NET framework is installed on the target machine and then install it if it is not, which I'm pretty sure Package and Deployment Wizard cannot do.
I've been reading up on INNO scripting since it seems an appropriate alternative for packaging both VB.NET and VB6 projects, but it has a lot of warnings about including the wrong or unnecessary dll files. I'm a complete noob and this doesn't instill a great deal of confidence in me. I don't want our customers to run our installer and have their computers crash as a direct result.I've been doing my own research (apologies in advance if this question has already been asked, I didn't see any relevant threads)

The installation is supposed to create a listing on the Start menu but this isn't happening.

View 2 RepliesI am using a 3rd party dll in an application and the installer does not register the component irrespective of any settings in the install package.It will register manually though using regsrv32 after installation.My question is how can I use the System. Diagnostics. Process.Start("cmd.exe")function to call the regsvr32 with the dll name after installation from the install package, also the correct syntax for referencing the installation folser if the user amends it on install so that it doesn't fail on execution because of spaces.Dim stRegPath as String= "regsvr32 & "" & Path.GetDirectoryName (Assembly. GetExecutingAssembly().Location) & "rogue.dll".
View 3 RepliesMy DBA has several SSIS packages that he would like the functionality of providing the end user with a way to input values for variables in the package. What would be the best solution for creating an application that would take the user input and pass the data through to the SSIS package variables?
I can get this work locally using this code
Dim packageName As String
Dim myPackage As Package
Dim integrationServices As New Application

Problem is this requires that the user have SSIS installed locally.
