This is not for a class. I would like to know if anyone has information to use the bootstrapper from MS or how to include MS DotnetFix.exe in an application to install onto a computer that does not have it. Also is this possible for mobile devices if the application would need to be packaged for them also?
View 4 RepliesI was wondering if it is possible to bundle a .net framework client runtime (.net framework 4 to be exact). Because not many computers have .net framework 4 Installed and i don't want them to download from the microsoft site. As i checked the program itself is a redistributable package <link>. Now the problem comes how do i integrate this into my own installer so that instead of asking for a download it would just ask to install the framework and then install from the setup that will be included in the package. I am using a standard setup project. Using VS 2010 Pro.
View 1 RepliesI'm getting a new computer, and I want to keep VS 2005 instead of upgrading because:
- I don't want to have to upgrade all 143 of my projects.
- I don't like the way VS 2008 looks.
- VS 2010 is just slow to the point of absurdity.
- I don't want to have to re-download the whole package and install it, which took about 4 hours for VS 2008, 10 hours for VS 2010.
Is there a way to just copy everything over? It's Express Edition. Also, would the old setup file work, or is support for VS 2005 completely gone?
I am building a winform vb.net program that uses an access db. I have added the database to the program using the design-time tools in visual studio 2008 (added a dataset to the project), and I am now using the dataset to bind items within my forms successfully. When I debug the program everythin works great, but then when I publish the program, I get an error saying that the database was not found in the appdata/app/2.0/(a very long encoded folder name) folder.
How do I modify the project so that it publishes the database with the project using the one-click install?

View 5 RepliesI am using a 3rd party dll in an application and the installer does not register the component irrespective of any settings in the install package.It will register manually though using regsrv32 after installation.My question is how can I use the System. Diagnostics. Process.Start("cmd.exe")function to call the regsvr32 with the dll name after installation from the install package, also the correct syntax for referencing the installation folser if the user amends it on install so that it doesn't fail on execution because of spaces.Dim stRegPath as String= "regsvr32 & "" & Path.GetDirectoryName (Assembly. GetExecutingAssembly().Location) & "rogue.dll".

View 1 RepliesI created a simple VB application in Visual Studio 2010.My computer, which I am using to create the program, is Windows 7 Pro, and SQL Server 2008 is running on a Windows Server 2008 Enterprise, which I have full access to.

View 2 RepliesI finished an important project (Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition) and now I have to deliver it with an appropriate installation program. My product is composed by a lot of projects and each of them generates an exe file with its images, help, xml , database etc. A main exe calls a sub exe for the work it has to do passing appropriate parameters. I think is not suitable to use a click-once feature and I have looked for the deployment wizard but I didn�t found a complete documentation and moreover some example step by step.where can I find that documentation, tutorial and example ? It�s possible to customize the forms generated by the wizard ?

View 3 RepliesI am currently working on an SSIS package that we are migrating from SSIS 2005 to SSIS 2008. The issue is that the developers of the current version used the fact that in SSIS 2005 the accessor of a NULL column returns 0, whereas SSIS 2008 throws an exception. Also, they extensively use expressions such as this one:
IIf(Row.X_IsNull, System.DBNull.Value, Row.X)
The problem is that in SSIS 2008, regardless of whether the condition is set to true, the program still tries to read Row.X and throws an exception. The package is big and it would take a very long time to convert all of these IIfs to manual Ifs with temporary variables.
I am wanting to include data in my vb2008 deployment package.I have tried many different ways, but with no success.Even with the "click Once" method, also using the setup method.

I installed the latest version of Toad yesterday. When I restarted Visual Studio 2008, the project that is my installation package for my application would not longer load. The message I get in the output window is "The Visual Basic Deploy Deployment Package ({CCD045E8-6236-4B3D-B820-97F7DD14C77C}) did not load because of previous errors." When I try to reload that project, I get the following error: " The operation could not be completed. No such interface supported" I tried to repair the VS installation, but that originally failed. The Deployment folder under Common7Tools was currupted so I ran check disk. A few bad files and clusters were found and corrected and the second run of check disk ran clean. I uninstalled Visual Studio and then reinstalled it, but am still getting the same error. I tried reinstalling .Net 3.5 before the reinstall of VS as well. I tried creating a new installation project, but that failed as well.
