View 16 RepliesI 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've noticed that in VS 2005, there were plenty of new, great features, with good fixes and just a better overall system. However, it does not seem to have a very good setup wizard. You have less control over setup, and the wizard won't let me copy some files that my program needs with it.Is there a way to get a better setup wizard, or will I have to make my own? Also, how do you make a custom MSI?

View 2 RepliesI created a simple BMI calculator through the guide.I have built it and published it on my laptop running Vista Home Premium with .net 3.5 SP1 installed.I can run the setup and subsequent exe file fine on my machine but when I try it on my girlfriends netbook (one of those fiddly little things) it wont install saying that some of the files are missing. It is running XP and also has .net 3.5 SP1 on it.There are only 2 extra files in addidtion to the setup.exe that vb 2008 creates and they are the application manifest and the program icon, both of which are located with the setup.exe but it still won't install. It is an offline installation but won't run.I copied the bin folder from the project to the setup folder and tried that, still no joy, yet if I try and run the actual program directly it works?
