VS 2010 Why Install Program Or Run From Published Location
Mar 1, 2012
In the past I have written VB6 and VB NET 2005 programs that are installed and on the user's computer. This had to be done because the salesmen in our company have has a set of local data on their laptops so that they could do work and not be connected to our network. I would then sync the files when they connected to the network. (This same program is used by the rest of the company as well, but everyone else uses network data.)We are now at the point where we are not using any local data. Our salesmen access our network data using an iPad, VPN, and a Citrix server, which works fine

I wrote this VB program to be able to throw a device we developed into programming mode where we use an ATMEL Flip installer to upload new firmware. I can program one device after another running the application off of Visual Studio Express 2010 or Visual Studio 2010, but when I go to publish this file and run it on another machine, it becomes unstable and crashes after each upload. On those same computers if I run the raw unpackaged program under Visual Studio Express, the system does not crash, and I can program devices repeatedly.

had 3 courses in computer science 10 years ago and decided to go into economics. After a 6 year and continuing career in economics, I decided to dabble in code to assist my economic career. In this pursuit, I have developed some neat things, but I have a simple problem. I code an application, hit build, hit publish, receive a setup and manifest, then put it on my usb drive. Plug the usb drive into another computer. Drag the setup and manifest to the hard drive, hit the button, a graphic regarding Launching Application comes up, then immediately a window comes up stating:
Cannot Start Application.Cannot download the application. The application is missing required files. Contact application vendor for assistance.
The errors stem from the manifest file. It says downloading the file (file path) Hello.exe.manifest did not succeed. It then follows with 3 lines of filepaths for the Hello.exe.manifest.
I am running VB 2010 express. I made a slot machine game for my mother for her birthday one Computer A. I moved the published files to Computer B as described above to test before giving to my mother. The game isn't too important at this point because I tried to test whether the game itself was the problem or if it was my error in lack of knowledge of how to deploy. As such, I created a program called Hello. In Hello, there is simply a form1 and a button1. When clicked, button1 displays a messagebox with some text. Not a rocket science program.
My intention is simply this:Allow the Hello program to be put on another computer via a USB drive and then installed.The two computers are not networked and let's assume the second computer cannot connect to the internet. When I go to the wizard, I select the location I want to publish to. In this situation, my desktop.Next, I select CD-ROM/DVD-ROM instead of UNC path or website. I don't know what UNC path is. I presume CD-ROM/DVD-ROM would be similar to USB drive in that it is a removal data storage item.I chose that the application will NOT check for updates.Finally, I receive this:The application will be published to:
file:///C:/Users/ComputerA/Desktop/
Where I find the files, put them on the USB drive and try to install on Computer B.Also, for more information, I can use those files on the originating computer and they do SUCCESSFULLY install and I can use the application. I have not figured out why it will not install on another computer.

I've written my own program to assist other engineers with their work at my company. Some people have been able to install the program with no problems, others can't seem to get it installed and I'm having trouble figuring out why. They install .Net Framework 4 as this is the Target framework that was setup in the file, although I don't think I fully utilize all the features yet and not sure when I will. I will post the portion of the log that contains the error. If anyone decode some of this so I can track down the problem. I'm not sure if downgrading the necessary version of .Net would work or not, but didn't want to be changing that unless there was a good reason too.

How can I tell what the size of my program is and how much disk space is needed to install. When I publish the program and install it on another machine it will show up in the control panel but does not show what size the program is?Also when I publish updates with it says something like installing 10mb. Is this an additional 10 mb everytime, I guess not, but can someone explain what it all means?

I'm using a dll in my program, it works fine. But when I publish and try to run on another machine, it says the dll is missing.Am I right in saying that I need to add it to my references, with the Add button on the references page? When I do that, it says it's not a valid assembly or com component.
How do I fix this? My level of knowledge is very low, especially with dll's.

My freeware program launches 50 freeware programs and provides a guide for PC maintenance and health. As mentioned in another post, my program was reviewed on Sofpedia. One thing the Reviewer criticized was the fact that my program requires the user to install these 50 programs in the default locations (usually C:Program Filesx). The reviewer thinks it would be best if the user can install to any location he/she desires and my program be able to point to the proper location when launching the application.

I created a small project in VB using a SQLExpress db. So far everything has been fine. I need to take the little I've done to the customer for a look and feel approval.
When attempting to publish the project, I get the following errors:
"The install location for prerequisites has not been set to 'component vendor's web site' and the file...." You know the drill.
The two files are SQLEXPR32_x86_ENU.EXE and SQLEXPR_x64_ENU.EXE
I have downloaded the files and put them in the following directory:

When that didn't work, I copied them to

Same error
What's different about SqlExpress than other prerequisites?

I edited the development copy of a cherished program beyond restore by CTRL+Z, the original version which I want to recover is already published and it is in the c:/deploy folder but I dont know how to open such files for editing. How can I open this deployed program to edit and add some methods. I was cautious enough to save the program before editing but I was suprised that the original was over written by the edited copy.

I have written a very simple program to simulate the operation of some electrical relays which respond to buttons pressed on a form.The important thing in the program is the pick and drop times of the relays so I use about 40 timers to simulate the operation
of the relays each stimulated either by another timer or the operation of a mousedown operation over an area of the window which has a GIF background.
The program works great when simulated within VB2010 Xpress but when I publish and install on either of my 2 laptops it freezes and does not respond to the mousedown procedures. It seems slightly better if I don't enable XP visual syles but still does not respond enough to be used. I am running 12 procs each time a continous timer runs out but altering the value of the timer does not make any difference. I've also noticed if I minimise the window and reopen the window it does move on slightly but still never responds to the mouse.
Also the timers in the program for the relay times seem to work at strange values and not those set sometimes? It seems to work OK on my main PC if I install it
