View 3 RepliesI am trying to deploy my program from vb 2008 express edition into the CD using ClickOnce but it has no progress at all and will take a long time when you run the setup.exe to another computer and in the end it will just pops-up an error. I have followed the proper setup procedure on how to publish the program into the CD with ClickOnce and was able to successfully published it along with all necessary prerequisites and supporting files.But when you open the setup.exe from the CD using other computer,it won't deploy the program into that computer and will just display a window which gives you 3 buttons saying Details,Retry,Cancel saying such error after downloading the required files.Does it matter if my OS is Vista and the computer where I'm deploying the program is using XP?What could have been the possible cause for this problem?How could I possibly resolve this issue?
View 3 RepliesHow do I deploy application using vb2008 express? I tried to find on in its package but couldn't.now i use cyber installer suite and works fine, except for one thing:
when I use visual basic powerpacks conponent, such as rectangleshape or ovalshape, I still cannot make my program works in other computer without vb2008 installed.. (deploy using cyber installer suite 2009)
I've bought the Standard Edition 2008 and the Publish wizard seems to behave in much the same as Express ClickOnce. Is there some way I can get it to deploy the Publish setup.exe files to C:Program Files? Is there some way I can tell it what extra .txt and .xls files are part of the application? I cannot see anything about adding files as part of the app. I've looked at what I'm supposed to get with Standard, but have not found quite the detailed documentation I'd like.

I am trying to deploy an application that uses SMO on a workstation without SQL Server installed on it. The instance the app is connecting to is SQL Server 2008. The application is failing with:Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.SqlServer.Replication, Version 10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=89845cdc8080cc91' or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.
The assembly in question is in the same path as my application as well as system32. I am running this on a Windows 7 64 bit box. I have run SQL Native Client, CLR, and SMO MSIs from the 2008 SMO redist download page.This app worked fine when connecting to SQL Server 2005.
How can I deploy and reference a stand-alone SQL Server 2008 Express database with my vb.net 2008 Express app ?
View 8 RepliesI've created a Setup project (in VB.Net 2008 Standard Edition) and I need to deploy some .rtf files in a specific folder for the user to edit. I've added these files to the project as content files but the Setup project installs them in Program File/MyApp along with the exe. As these rtf files need to be found easily by the user I need to specify a different folder on the hard drive. These are not mdb or xls files so are not used by the app itself. All the user needs to do is find them manually loading them into MS Word for editing. I don't need to load MS Word from the app, but I do need to deploy them so the user has access to them. How do I edit the file path so it does not bury them in Common Files or the User App Data or app folder itself? Ideally, since these are rtf files they could go in My Documents. (The app itself will work whether or not these files exist elsewhere.)

View 1 RepliesI have created several small applications that use my own DLL. The problem is, this DLL is constantly changing. My current solution to this problem is that I have a Setup project in the class library solution that creates and registers the DLL. In all my applications I then have to open the solution and re-reference the newly created/registered DLL. Then I have to re-compile their setup projects, uninstall the old applications, and then re-install the new application.
There has to be a better way and I'm just not sure because I'm fairly new to all this. I have looked into ClickOnce but I don't think that will solve my issue as I cannot publish a class library. I have looked into checking version numbers but I must be doing something wrong because it doesn't work either.I understand that once a DLL is created and being used in an application it should essentially not be touched. I do not have that option in this situation. It is constantly updated. Done.
Edit: The DLL is not constantly changing during runtime but it is constantly evolving to allow more functionality and detail within the other applications. Also, one big thing I guess I should have mentioned is the Public interface is constantly chaning - usually adding new methods.
I have created a PowerPoint addin using the steps from this article: Using RibbonX from Visual Basic
The plugin works fine when I start the project using F5 in Visual Studio 2005. But if I try to use the installer created by the setup project that is automatically added to the solution, the plug-in won't show when I run powerpnt.exe
Is there something I missed? Do I need to make some modifications to the installer?
I've developed a vb.net app which works great on my dev machine, both within the IDE and as a compiled executable. But when I deploy it to a user workstation, I receive the following:
Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately.
Could not load file or assembly Microsoft Office Interop.Excel, Version=11.0.0.0,Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c' or one of its dependencies. The system cannon find the file specified.
