My end result is that I want to launch another setup project after the first setup project closes. The problem is that since setup.exe is just a wrapper for the msi package.WaitForExit is quitting when the setup.exe is finished and not foo.msi.
Using Process As New System.Diagnostics.Process
Process.StartInfo.FileName = "setup.exe"
Process.StartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Normal

I am really new to Visual Studio and VB and I am having trouble closing a single form:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Me.Close()
End Sub
When I use Me.close() associated with this button it closes the entire project and not just the single form can anyone.

View 4 RepliesIn my program I use WebBrowser control for OAuth. It's located on vk_auth_window form. So in the code I call vk_auth_window.WebBrowser1.Navigate(vkauthurl). If authentication is successful, I silently get token, but if user is not authenticated a form vk_auth_window is showed to them to enter username and password. To check this I catch _DocumentComplete event and check for the right URL. I need no other code being executed until the user finished authentication or closed authentication form. ShowDialog() does the trick, but it somehow hides cursor from username and password fields in WebBrowser control. So I introduced a variable Dim showform as Boolean=True in and set it to False from the _DocumenComplete event and in the main code I use infinite loop.
While showform
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(100)
Application.DoEvents()
End While
However it makes userinput slow due to thread sleeps. And If i remove them, it loads CPU quite a lot. Is there a better way to wait for form to close? What is it?
I have a little log in screen that pops up if a user selects a certain item on my main form. How do I get my code to stop executing til my log in form closes?This is what I am doing so far. Basically i want o execute the code after MyLogin closes.
BMSSplash.MyLogin.Show()
If isLoggedIn Then
BMSSplash.MyBuddy.Show()
Cursor.Current = Cursors.WaitCursor
End If
In form I have one button which has functionality to pick up some data from (by mouse click) Parent application.
I have handle for parent application handle, but even if i tried to bring it on top i am not able to do selection because form is modal.
Requirement here is open modeless dialog and wait till it close. other wise it goes further and executes functionality below.
Another option can be open form as modal and at runtime change it to modaless.
I have something like this:
For Each Entry In CheckedListBox1.CheckedItems
SheetName = Entry.ToString()
Form2.Show()
Next
but I don't want to continue the loop until Form2 is closed. I tried something like this:
For Each Entry In CheckedListBox1.CheckedItems
SheetName = Entry.ToString()
Form2.Show()
Do
[code]....
But that just froze everything and used up all my CPU.
I'm trying to run a batch file via VB and I need to wait for it to complete/exit before progressing. The issue I believe I am having is that when a batch file is executed, it opens cmd.exe and not the batch file.
This is what I am executing with VB
My.Computer.FileSystem.DeleteFile(My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath & "PingCheckmachines.txt")
FileCopy(My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath & "machines.txt", My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath & "PingCheckmachines.txt")
Dim psi As New ProcessStartInfo(My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath & "PingCheckgo.bat")
psi.RedirectStandardError = True
psi.RedirectStandardOutput = True
psi.CreateNoWindow = False .....
The problem I am having is that it will just delete ping.bat before it completes.
How do I go about monitoring the process from the batch file I call. Then once it exits, continue with the script?
In my MDI Application code I have a form that launches a second form then hides itself until the spawned form closes. It works great unless I choose to close the application while the spawned form is still up.
The following is some example code.
Dim ChildForm as New frmTaskWindow With { .MDIParent = Me, .AddingNew = True }
ChildForm.Show
Me.Hide()
[Code].....
Me.Show() ' error occurs here because my form is already closed by the system. Is there a way to get around this without just an error catcher?
I've finally got a project compiled and tested and ready to roll out.I have discovered that the "Publish" option is not what it seems, and that we must create a separate "Setup Project" to carry out the task of installing the files.This is not the most intuitive process I've seen, and the online help on that subject is not easy to understand.I was hoping that someone could direct me to a tutorial or guide that would step me through the specific approach I need. Many of the other guides online are vague and address multiple scenarios and do not separate the approaches very well.I have the contents of my project in /bin/release. It runs nicely by iteself with no errors.Here's what I need:
1. To create a setup exe that I can distribute that will install my software, with all of the supporting (resource) files and folders.
2. I need the setup process to force the installer to "agree" to a EULA.
3. I'd would like to provide an image on the installation screen/popup.
4. I would like the software registered in the registry and rely on it being there in the registry.
5. I need it to default to program filesprojectname (it does by default)
I new to this Forum and relatively new to VB programming. I have read some really good posts here and thought I would ask about a perplexing problem I'm having. I createdindows Form application, built it and deployed it with no problems. However, when I added a small block of code, re-built the app and went to add the app to the Project Output Group in the file system editor the project was not in the Project drop down list. I closed the Setup project and deleted it from the project folder and checked my code and re-built the app and tried the Set Up project again with the same result

I need to run a second project from the start up one and then the first project should be closed.

i have included an exe in my setup project. how can i run this exe while running setup.exe,also tell me how to pass parameter to this exe.
View 2 RepliesOk, imagine the simplest solution in Visual Studio 2008 with framework 3.5 (OS = Win XP) where I have added a class library. Then I've added a COM Class. This COM Class is so simple, it only exposes 1 function:

Return " Hello."
End Function
