VS 2008 Unspecified Error When Executing Published Setup.exe
Aug 15, 2010
I have published application before and they all (3 setup files) work fine. The problem is I don't know anymore how I exactly did it. Now I am trying to publish another form which has a connection to my sql database. The publishing goes fine: publishing folder is: C:Movie-databaseApplication 4 and installation folder is the same, and I therefore leave it empty. Application is available only online. But when I execute the published setup.exe I get two windows with no info about the error: see attachment.

I have been developing a VB6 app for 4 years. Just this week I cannot make an EXE file. When I try to make an EXE (from the command line or the IDE), I get the message System error &H80004005 (-2147467259) Unspecified error
I am using a installer class as I need a custom action that will read in a xml config file.So when the user double clicks the setup, there will be a config.xml file in the same folder. I would like to read in this config.xml file on install event. The folder will contain setup.exe and config.xml.However, it can't find the config.xml file as it is looking for it under C:windowssystem32. I found this out by using application startup. path. However, the setup folder which contains the setup and config.xml is located on my desktop.I thought it will look for it in the current location. Which would be the setup folder. The difficulty is that my setup folder will be downloaded from the Internet and any user could download it and unzip it anywhere on their computer.[code]
I am vb 2008, with backend ORACLE 8i Server version In Intel Core 2 Laptop The project is upgrade from VB 6.0. When i am running a project by step by step(F8), it is working. If i do direct(without Step by step), it is rasing this error as "Unspecified error", Particualr time all the recordsets are closed. But on the same project, opening lot of recordsets,closing and set as nothing. After somtimes only i am getting this error. Why i am getting this error really confusing?
I am using VS 2008 Professional and connecting to an Access 2003 database.I have converted my app from VS 2003 to VS 2008.I have kept all the OleDbDataAdpaters.When designing,I like to have both VS and Access open, so I can see if my SQL queries and other code load/ edit/ append/delete the data correctly.The problem I am having, is once I open Access, I can no longer edit any of my database settings in VS. Examples:In VS I open the Server Explorer, and see the database I am using.I double click on it, and I get the error message "Unspecified Error".In VS I try to add a DataSource.In the Data Source Configuration Window, in the Choose a Data Source Type pane, I select Database and click on Next.When I see Choose Your Data Connection, I select my database, and I get "Failed to open a connection to the database "Unspecified Error" Check the connection and try again."In VS I try to configure the OleDbDataAdpater, I right click on it and get the Data Adapter Configuration Wizard window, in the Choose your Data Connection pane, I select my database, and I get "Failed to open a connection to the database "Unspecified Error" Check the connection and try again."If I run/debug my app, the data loads just fine. So I know the data is not messed up, and the connection is OK. I just have problems when I am designing in VS 2008 and after I have opened Access 2003. If I close Access, the problem does not go away. To get the problem to go away, I need to : close Access,close VS, open VS,load a new project,Add a new Data Source to the new project,re-open my project.What is happening? Is there a better way to "reset" VS ?
I developed a site it works well at localhost (IIS) but the problem is that when I upload it to the server it works for some time, for some entries & gives the error and after this error, it appears to all pages. The errors are 1. "Unspecified error" 2. Error in web.config (attaching the error image) though I fix it. I do not understand why it appears / displaying the error using the MS Access as database. Attached image(s)

When running setup to install published program, the following message occurs: System Update Required: Unable to install or run the applicaiton. The application requires that asssembly CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine Version 10.2.3600.0 be install in the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) first. This version is listed in the references of the program and in my mind, be included in build. How do I get by this error?

I am new to VB 2010. Just now i made a program in Vb and published it. In my computer it worked without problems. But in my friends PC, it shows Dont Send Error. I created the program using .NET 3.0 and my friends PC has .NET 4.0 Extended installed.
I am using VB .Net to connect to an access databse when using several connection sometimes i get this erro "unspecified error microsoft jet database engine" even though i am an administrator on my local machine.
I made an app in vb.net express edition after publishing there are many files in published folder, my question is if a user removes any of files in the published folder or replaces it with other files and runs the app the app must show an error is it possible?
I packaged a VB 6.0 application using the Package and Deployment Wizard. After that I executed setup.exe in the package to setup the application. On Windows Server 2008 (32 bits), however, I received the following error when processing the setup:
I am trying to build a ActiveX DLL using VB6. The IDE finishes the compilation phase and starts writing the DLL when it gets the error. I've searched MSDN and google without finding any answers.
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 written a fairly basic application. It reads txt files, loads a SQL, and outputs to text files. The application compiles and publishes without an error. The app works perfectly on my PC. I can not get it to work on any other PC. Application will install without an error but when I try to launch the app, nothing happens. Running out of ideas to try and hoping someone may have some tips or tricks to try and see what is going on that I have not tried.I am running Windows 7 Pro - 64 with Visual Studio 2008. The only references are for .net 2.0 and ADODB.DLL. I have setup the app to include all references as local copy to true.
I have tried installs on Windows 7 Pro, Windows Server 2000, Windows Server 2003, Windows XP Pro, and Windows Vista. All install without error. Have tried installed as user with admin rights and the PC's primary admin account. When you launch the app, there are no messages in all OS except Windows 7. It will basically Flash a message about checking for compatability and run you through a wizard to see if running as XP or Vista works and it doesn't.
Since i set my 3rd party addins to be copied local i am now getting an error which is below.
When i selected Build i set the build to release. Why is it so difficult to get your application published and running? It runs fine in debug but when you come to do a release build it wont run.[code]...
I am having a problem with my try catch block runs in the error "dastabase is not available". My problem is the try catch runs and catches the error, but it will not redirect to my error page. The code continues to execute the other subs. I have tried adding: exit, return, response.end. None of them worked.
Application runs fine on the computer that I used to create it.The application has 3 functions:
Button1...locate and preview an image file. Button2...creates an email with html link...creates an html page file...ftp's the image and html files to server...sends email. Button3...ftps image file only.
Publish and install on another computer and I have problems.
Button 1...Will load and preview file correctly. Button 3...ftp image file only. Button 2...I get an error (my own 'failed' message)
I have the same net framework 3.5 sp1 on all computers.What am I missing?I am thinking now it is code, but why does it will work on one and not the other.Do I need to install VB 2008 express on every computer that will be running this app just to insure that the computers are the same?
I have a windows form app. project and when I start the debugger my form with datagridviews works fine, but when I publish the application the exe file does not work. When I double click the exe file, I get two small empty windows and the second one has a ok button on it, when I click it both windows disappear. I work with vista 64 bit and I have made another small editform which works fine.
I 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?
We have several programs that run during off hours and I want to write a program to monitor them. I have defined a list of priority programs and have written code to verify that they are running using 'Dim instance As Process'. The problem is that I can't figure out how to determine if the program has a pop-up error window like "unhandled exception" or similar window. The instance.responding still shows 'true'. How can I identify a process that is executing but has an error?

I downloaded the .net 3.5 sp1 and it performed a repair but it still will not publish.
