I just installed VS 2005 on a new laptop with Windows 7 and I can't find the option under the Debug menu called 'Exceptions'. It was available in my previous install under WinXP. I know win7 had some incompatabilities with vs2005. Is this one of them? Man, I'd hate to loose the ability to break on thrown exceptions.

I have a simple desktop application that uses a .NET setup project (.msi file) to perform the installation. On the first installation, everything proceeds in a timely fashion with good feedback for the user.The problem occurs when the user is installing the latest version of the application over an old version on their machine.There is an unacceptably long delay of about 60 to 180 seconds from the time the installer's 'Welcome' dialog [It's not the Welcome dialog, I've removed that from the Start section of the setup project and replaced it with a CheckBox dialog to ask if the user wants a shortcut on the desktop] disappears until the 'Progress' dialog appears. The user sees minute(s) of blank screen and thinks the install has stopped or failed.
In the setup project properties, I've got the 'DetectNewerInstalledVersion' and 'RemovePreviousVersions' properties set to true. So, I believe that while nothing appears to be happening, the installer is actually removing the old version. The 'Progress' dialog does not appear until the new version begins installation.I've been trying to either:
a) Get the 'Progress' dialog to display immediately after the 'Install Icon' dialog disappears
b) Show another dialog while the Uninstall is running to let the user know that the setup is still running and everything is OK.
I have been unsuccessful with both methods. I'm using VS 2008 SP1?
Since reinstalling VS2010, it has not been displaying proper debug info. I don't think I changed any settings but I have had a hunt through the options and can't see anything I might have messed up. I have had a quikck search and other people seem to have had the same problem but no solution. I'm running Windows 7 x64 with latest updates, if that matters.
View 1 RepliesIs it possible to create a standard installer with VS 2008 VB? What i'm looking for is an install similar to Windows Installer - one where the user can choose installation location, options, etc. instead of the ClickOnce deployment method of burying the app in the User folder in an unknown location?

I've just skipped around a few inbuilt VB classes' methods which throws exception. of all that i've came across, methods may throw multiple exceptions but ALL of them are exclusive, meaning there is no way 2 exceptions will ever occur simultaneously, yea and i was trying to make my class throw 2 exceptions simultaneously, hence this question, must all exceptions be exclusive?

View 3 RepliesWhen in the degug mode stepping through code a line at a time, I want to monitor a variable that was created public on another form. It adds the request, but won't shoe me the data. It says I have to ahve an object reference. I don't know what it wants exzactly or how to give it. Here is an example:
I have on form 1 one a variable, Crec. I am in the debugger debugging code in form 2. To access the variable on form one in my code on form 2, I have to use this syntax: form1.crec Now when I put this quickwatch request in, while debugging form 2, it will not let me see the value for form1.Crec It says I need an object reference. Can you tell me I am doing wrong and how to correct it? I'm sure it something simple.
I've used VS2005 where there was an option to basically break into the code via menuitem on the debug menu. I can't exactly remember what it was called although I seem to think it was "break all". I know this has something to do with the setup/layout/whatever MS called it, I picked when I first installed VS. I went into the options and couldn't find a way to enable it. It is disabled if you enable "edit and continue" or something?

View 2 RepliesA problem has started recently - I'm developing an ASP.NET application and when I click 'Start Debugging', it builds and opens a web page, but not where I can set breakpoints or step through the code. From within Visual Studio, it looks as if it's not running after the web page opens.
If I restart the computer, it works the first time or 2, but after a while it starts doing that again. Also, I'm using RDP to access my work computer to do my work. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it, because I didn't notice this happening the last time I went to the office.

View 1 RepliesSince VB 2005 express does not really install properly in windows 7, here is how to get it to install and make it work right. It's very simple.
1. Right click on the VB 2005 express installer file and click "Properties" in the menu.
2. Now click the "Compatibility" tab.
3. Check the box that says, "Run this program in compatibility mode for:"
4. Click the drop down menu and select "Windows Vista Service Pack 2. (I haven't tried service pack one.)
5. Now check the box that says "Run this program as an administrator" and click "Apply," then "OK"
6. Run the installer.
Wait until VB 2005 express has installed to do these next steps.
7. Make a desktop icon for VB 2005 Express
8. Right click on the VB 2005 express icon and click "Properties" in the menu.
9. Now click the "Compatibility" tab.
10. Check the box that says, "Run this program in compatibility mode for:"
11. Click the drop down menu and select "Windows Vista Service Pack 2. (I haven't tried service pack one.)
12. Now check the box that says "Run this program as an administrator" and click "Apply," then "OK"
VB 2005 Express should now run on you Windows 7 machine! (Yipee) Notice that it is necessary to repeat the same process for the installer file as well as the actual VB program becuase they are two different files and need to run in compatibility mode.
