VS 2008 Microsoft SQL Publishing Wizard - MSI Returned Error Code 1638
Jan 3, 2012
At the end of the re-installation of Visual Studio 2008, there is this message: "Microsoft SQL Publishing Wizard: [2] Error: Installation failed for component Microsoft SQL Publishing Wizard. MSI returned error code 1638" in the log file dd_error_vs_procore_90.txt.
When I searched for just "MSI returned error code 1638", I got that it
cannot install something because it is already installed: "Another version of this product is already installed. Installation of this version cannot continue. To configure or remove the existing version of this product, use Add/Remove Programs on the Control Panel".
In Add/Remove Programs I see these two programs:
Microsoft SQL Server Database Publishing Wizard 1.3
Microsoft SQL Server Database Publishing Wizard 1.4
Are these programs/versions what the error is refering to? Am I safe to remove them and depend on the similarly-named item which would be newly installed with Visual Studio 2008 - "Microsoft SQL Publishing Wizard"?
I still use SQL Server 2000 and 2005 on my computer, as well as 2008.
I had installed VS 2008 on my computer before without this problem and also have VS 2005 and 2010.
I realize this post is rather long, but I wanted to give all the information up front instead of people having to ask me for more information.At the end of the re-installation of Visual Studio 2008, there is this message:

I have searched on Google for this whole message and found some references to this error, but I have done what they said worked for them and it did not fix the problem for me.When I searched for just "MSI returned error code 1638", I got that it cannot install something because it is already installed:"Another version of this product is already installed.

I got problem in my vb.net program in publishing it. I am using Microsoft Visual Studio 2008, when I publish my program and I got the setup file and when i tried to run into another computer I got some error saying that it cant connect into the database. Actually I used msSQL 2005 server in my VS 2008.
It is working with vb6 but when I used vb.net 2008 it is not working Private Declare Function GetComputerName Lib "kernel32" _ Alias "GetComputerNameA" (ByVal lpBuffer As String, ByVal nSize As _ Long) As Long Public Function ComputerName() As String Dim sBuffer As String [Code] .....
I have a vb.net application that has to be published on the server to a specified path. After publishing, when I try to install the application, I get the below error msg:
ERROR SUMMARY: Below is a summary of the errors, details of these errors are listed later in the log.

About publishing my program. there's a lot of files made after publishing unlike in vb6 when i converted it to exe file theres only one file. hmm how can i make just one exe file in vb9 is it possible? another question do i have to install the program after publishing?
I have a very simple program that can run and work perfectly.The only trouble I have is when I install it.I double click the setup file that it created and a window is displayed with 2 buttons 'install' and don't 'install'.What I want it to do is run an installation wizard like when you install an offical program like 'Microsoft Office'.Is there any way to do this in 'Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition' if any other 'free' program is required then I would also be happy to use one.Here is a list of a few extra things I would like to do but I'm mainly posting to find out how to make the installation:
> A Desktop Icon is created
> When it is displayed in the all programs it is called 'Email Validator' not 'xxxx' as it is at the moment
> There will be an uninstall button (So the user doesn't have to go into Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs
I am trying out the Visual Studio 2008 Standard Edition Setup and Deployment - Setup Wizard on a very simple VB 2008 app which includes a simple SQL Express dB. The build works fine and it installs on the target system ok. But when I go to run the application and add a new record for example, I get a "read-only" error indicating that the sql db is read-only. Yet none of the files in the folder are read-only. What is odd is that the folder that it was installed into "acts" like it is read only, yet it is not identified as such. If I move the .exe and db files out of that folder, (onto the desktop for example) it works just fine. Should I set up a post build event or something to make
I have a class project that supplied me with an Access 2007 DB. When in VB and go through the steps for creating a data source. When the Wizard comes up I click on Database, Next, New Connection, Data Source is Microsoft Access Dagabase File (OLE DB), Browse to Database File Name, Test Connection is successful, click on OK, then Next. A MSVS box appears "The connection selected uses a local data file that is not in the current project. "Would you lie to copy the file to your project and modify the connection?"I am supposed to click NO. When I do I get this "Wizard Form" "An unexpected error has occurred. Error Message: Cound not load type." I need to be able to go to the next part of the Configuration Wizard that says "Choose Your Database Objects" I evensaved the file as Access 2003, and it will not work.
I've made this script to read the lines from the txt. But when I try to login I just get this " The remote server returned an error: (530) Not logged in." Even I "logged in" at the link.

I've known that it's possible to generate pseudo code using Microsoft Visual Basic 2008 after we actually have all the codes that are working in there. I mean, like if I have codes for a calculate, already running, how can I use MVB 08 to generate pseudo code.
I'm currently doing a project that includes access 2010 My question will be what driver can I use for an access 2010 *.accdb type file? For a *.mdb it works perfectly well with
ERROR[HY000][Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver]Could not find file '(unknown)'. ERROR[IM006][Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager]SQLSetConnetAttr failed ERROR[HY000][Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver]Could not find file '(unknown)'
And then it shows me that my code for
If dsLogin.Tables(0).Rows.Count = 1 Then IndexOutOfRangeException was unhandled Cannot find table 0
I knew it must be the driver but I don't know what accdb driver I can use for the connstring.
I have an error ERROR [22018] [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Data type mismatch in criteria expression. and I've been trying to solve this but unfortunately I couldn't get the hack of this error. I'm a newbie in dotNet.

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.

I've seen a few people on here saying that you shouldnt use GoTo in VB.NET and to be honest I've tended to agree as I have never needed to use it and there is always another way of doing something without using it. However, I'm just wondering what is so bad about it? I actually noticed that Microsoft seem to use it a fair bit in the internal .NET framework code, which is what makes me wonder why people are so against it.
I am trying to upload a file to Mainframe machine from my VB.net application. I am getting the following error.The remote server returned an error: (501) Syntax error in parameters or arguments
Using vb.net 2005 - FtpWebRequest for ListDirectory always gets 550 error The remote server returned an error: (550) File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access).
On both FTPListDirRequest.Method = System.Net.WebRequestMethods.Ftp.ListDirectory
I have some vb.net code which should print out labels using Teklynx LabelView software (which I've had working before.)Problem is, it runs fine on Dev machine, but when I run it on the end user's PC, I don't get any error messages until it completely dies with the "Send error report to Microsoft" message.
When I tried to read the data of a http link using VB.net, an error occur. The error is:The remote server returned an error: (406) Not Acceptable.This error is only occur for some links.
I have a running program currently installed in my server, this program is running 24hrs a day. Now I did some enhancements on this program and tried to publish it. My publishing is successful but when I click the setup.exe Im have error message: "Critical error during application's main start up procedure. Description: Required processing files missing." I tried to deploy it also on my server but the same problem so I copied back the original for the program to keep on running. Attached Images error_when_setup.jpg (19.1 KB, 38 views)
i just finished an application it works good when i debug but i tried to publish it and the publishing fails with errors that some files are double but i don't get what the problem is the error details are as follows
PLATFORM VERSION INFO Windows : 6.1.7600.0 (Win32NT) Common Language Runtime : 4.0.30319.235
Apparently this is a rather common issue but after 3+ hours of searching I still couldnt figure it out...After publishing my application when I try to run it, an error occurs wherein it can't locate my database.
I've created a Windows Form app in VB however I've decided the format is best suited to a Wizard style app. I've read a bit about creating wizards however I was hoping VS 2010 had a wizard to create wizards :) From what I've read there is a lot of coding to be done to create a simple wizard. Am I wrong ? Perhaps there is a third party app which generates the base wizard code?
I have an ASP.NET MVC project that works fine on my local machine (no build errors, server errors or anything). However, when I publish the project to a test server, I get an "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" error on a For Each I have in my view.
I am trying to publish a .Net application but I received the error; - Cannot publish because a project failed to build - SignTool reported an error 'The Path is not of a legal form' On the Signing tab I have teh error; An error occurred trying to load the page. The path is not of a lagal form. The same project I published few minutes ago, I was trying to re-publish it. It only affects me, but if another of my colleague opens it on his PC from the same source it works fine. I checked the certificate and it is present.
when I try to publish a program it gives signing error like this:

Please copy the latest version of CAPICOM.dll into the directory that contains SignTool.exe. If CAPICOM.dll exists, you may not have proper permissions to install CAPICOM.Liquid Transfer
It happens to a company computer and who knows what updates it has. It was working fine the first day I got the computer though.
