VS 2008 : Cannot Locate Files After Publish
Jan 23, 2012
I have written a simple program in VB 2008 that in a part of it, it loads some images from a directory with a formula like this :
PictureBox.Image = Image.FromFile(CurDir() & "photos�.jpg")
The photos are located in : inDebugphotos this works fine and loads images when I run the program.But after I publish, it can no more locate the files and I receive an Error:
Unhandled exception...
c:users.............................................photos�.jpg
Now I need your kind help please in these 2 cases:
1- Can you tell me how I can correct the formula?
2- After publish, dose the setup file contains my photos folder as well?

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?

I have finally finished an application which works really well on the PC upon which I developped it using VB 2008 Express.My problem is that when I publish it and try to install the ClickOnce output files on another PC (tried two so far, both WinXP) I get a missing files error. There is an error output saying that downloading the .exe.manifest file did not succeed. Unfortunately the error detail is confusing and does not seem to indicate exactly which files are missing.On both of the PC's that I tried I was prompted io install .net 3.5 SP1, which seemed to have been successful. The inference is that it is not a .net file that is missing.

I have VB project and I tried to use PUBLISH feature.It seems to create nicely some kind of setup program, but the setup program does not ask where to copy files (it does not seem to copy filesto target machine "PROGRAM FILES".)Is this setup program somehow different from usual installers?
NOTE: I want that app files are installed to Hard disk( from USB stick source)Is the signing recommended or necessary? My App is pretty simple, its just using access DB + printer api, should I still sign?

in my application, to get the path I use the following code.
Dim path As String
Dim asm As [Assembly] = [Assembly].GetExecutingAssembly()
path = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(asm.GetName().CodeBase)
this gives path as Application Data, But i need Program Files to locate the .sdf file. how to get this path?

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?

VB.net 2008 build and publish.The application cannot publish as it cannot find the files. I down loaded the MS exe that installs it, but, I need to load them into the same folder as the install package.I looked at the folder: Microsoft SDKs/v6.0Aootstrapper/packages and transferred the folders but they do not contain the files.One of the errors on build is as follows <error> Error32The install location for prerequisites has not been set to 'component vendor's web site' and the file 'DotNetFX35dotNetFX30NetFX30a_x86.msi' in item '.NET Framework 3.5' can not be located on disk.

Is there a way I can publish *.ascx files without adding them to my project?I am trying to make my user controls in Visual Studio 2010 reusable. I have a project containing my user controls called ControlsLibrary solution directory. I copy the ascx files to the web directory upon building the project with build events.I use the command copy "$(SolutionDir)ControlLibrary*.ascx" "$(ProjectDir)controls"
This copies the *.ascx files from G:/SolutionDirectory/ControlsLibrary to C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/WebProject/controlsNow when I publish WebProject, the publish does not copy the *.ascx files from C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/WebProject/controls to my website. This is because they are not added to my project.
Is there a way I can publish *.ascx files without adding them to my project?I know there is a way to publish all files by selecting the option "All files in this project." That includes more files than I want.

My click-once app has english and spanish content. In development, it runs fine with the two resource files I have - named multilingual.en-US.resx & multilingual.es-MX.resx accordingly. When I publish it looses these resources for referencing.The files reside in the root directory for the app.

I want to use FindBy method to return record in a datatable and show the fields in the corresponding textboxes and other controls. The DataTable in which i am looking is already bound to these controls, maybe when I use the following code (which is not working correctly, hence this thread) the fields will show up rightaway?
{
Dim MoviesRow As New_Movie_DatabaseDataSet.My_Movies_TableRow
MoviesRow = New_Movie_DatabaseDataSet.My_Movies_TableDataTable.FindByID(ComboBox1.Text)
}
This is the error:
reference to a non-shared member requires an object reference.
I wanted to import Microsoft.Practices.ObjectBuilder2 but that does not work either.

When I publish, I can run the app on my machine (development machine).
When I try and install on another machine, it is giving this error:

I have two slightly different versions of my VB applications that I would like to publish simultaneously. The differences are minimal and mostly include GUI and some internal logic. Incorporating changes into a single application is not an option right now.
I tried publishing and installing them separately but the latest installer always overwrites whatever has already been installed. For example, if I install App v1, then App v2, only App v2 will be visible. If App v1 is installed after App v2, only App v1 will be visible. What I want to have is to have them both installed. I am using Visual Studio 2008.

i have created an application on my windows vista 64-bit computer. I need to be able to install the application on other computers. I copied over the setup.exe file as well as the other files that the publish wizard created onto my flash drive. I then put my flash drive onto a windows xp computer and copied over the install files. I ran setup.exe, it said it was installing .NET Framework 3.5 SP1. The progress bar didn't move for an hour. I canceled that and tried to just run the manifest. It prompted to 'run' it etc... i did that and it said the .NET Framework that i canceled was required.
When i built the application ClickOnce was not enabled, the second time i did it ClickOnce was enabled. I then started to play around with the files that were required. What is wrong? I need to be able to install this application on other computers but mine. It works perfectly on my vista but wont even install on the xp. Do you think i am just doing something wrong as i publish/build it?
