View 1 RepliesSetup and deploy for my project worked fine for a while allowing you to install my program and uninstall the old version, but now it installs two entries. I don't get it, before I got it do do that it would give an error that it needed to be uninstalled first. Now like I said I get two entries in the programs uninstall window. RemovePreviousVersions = true. I change the version number and update the product code. Even tried changing the upgrade code. I just don't get why it doesn't work anymore, and its really annoying! Also, is there a way that the setup file can just be one .exe rather then a setup file and a data file?
View 2 RepliesUsing 2008 EXPRESS. I went to project properties and (1) renamed the assembly name and (2) the root namespace fields with my desired name. (But didn't rename the project).
NOW --When I took the setup disk to another computer, it "crashes" can't even post the warning it's trying to give. (Yet, it was fine when I left everything alone, the namespace and rootname that is).
All I wanted was a setup file with a name other than my project name.

View 1 RepliesI had developed a small windows software. Now I want create a setup file so that a client can install it on off-line. I used the publishing wizard, it successfully creates the setup file but if I try to install it on other computer which doesn't have the .net Framework, it tries to get it from the net. To avoid this I want to include .net framework into the setup file. How can I do this ?
View 7 RepliesI created a setup project along with my main program everything compiles ok and I'm able to install a successfully. The problem I am experiencing is when I try to install over the previous version. I have set the setup property RemovePreviousVersion to TRUE , DetectNewerInstalledVersion to TRUE and I also increment the Version number and choose Yes when prompted to automatically change the ProductCode.
What I find is that when I install my program, the date on a subfolder changes, I don't expect the dates of the support files to change. but I do expect the date of my main .exe file to change. Unfortunately it stays the same. Running the program also shows that this file was not updated. I have read the MSDN articles on this but cannot figure it out.
I'm using the setup method to deploy an app I wrote. The program installs fine, but If I want to reinstall it I get an error message saying the program is already installed and I have to uninstall it first. Is there a flag somewhere when I create the setup file to allow it be installed over itself?

View 2 RepliesI am using VS 2008 VB and setup my application software in Win XP without any issue. But after installed in Win 7, it doesn't work well (it show one file not found, but I saw the file in the right folder). Could it be the incompatibility of VS 2008 and Win 7? If I upgrade to VS 2010, will the issue be fixed?
