VS 2005 / Best Way To Publish A Vb.net .app?
Oct 27, 2010
I 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.

Explanation of Build verse Publish Compile in simple english. I have my first appication I want to now deploy. I have been reading about Clickonce and it looks like a nice solution for my project. I actually tried it already but I recieved an error message "forbidden" I think there is an issue with my hosting site? Anyway I have been reading and am a bit confused to these different terms. Is build what I would use if I want to add-in a set-up / installer package with program with an exe file, sort of like the traditional way of handing someone a disk and they install it on there machine? Publish appears to what is used for the click once, but I dont think thats the only thing. I can publish to a disk? It looks like I can publish to my own computer until i figure out my website issue and test the program from there?

Can VB 2005 have alternative choice other than publish the application by click once.
I mean to say many installation softwares has choice like "click next"------------>"click next"------------------->"click next"----------->Finish.
And also ask where to install the application(Location to Browse).

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.

I have been testing and experimenting with "one click publishing" for a week now, and still cannot get a successful deployment. The results i get are listed below
(4/5/2012 12:14:11 PM) An error occurred when the request was processed on the remote computer.
The application pool that you are trying to use has the 'managedRuntimeVersion' property set to 'v2.0'. This application requires 'v4.0'.
Publish failed to deploy.

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.

I'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?

I 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?

Ok 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?

When 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).

Now 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)

I select Diagnostic for MSBuild project build output verbosity. This works for Clean and Build.
Unfortunately, Publish Now flushes everything from the Output Window just before it does the actual copy to the web site. Is there someway to change this behavior so I don't lose all of the diagnostic information or point the output to a file?
