Application And Installer Doesn't Register Component Irrespective Of Any Settings In Install Package
Jul 22, 2009
I 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".

Using Visual Studio 2010, Windows 7. Setting up project on one machine, then attempting deployment it on another machine with Windows 7 on it:
How do you get the installer to install an application normally, my app is installing on roaming profile, and I do not want it to install that way . . . I want it to run as a normal software application, it is not created for network use!
In short, I want the application to install under the Program Files directory, and the data files to install under the ProgramData directory. I have already designated the Application Folder's DefaultLocation as [CommonAppDataFolder] and the application data folder as [CommonAppDataFolder], . . . but it makes no difference, it still installs as a roaming profile.

i have created a user setting named 'setmeup' as string, scope = user, value = "magical meow meow!".in my code i access it and assign it a new value like this...my.settings.setmeup = "howdy cowboy!"my.settings.save()application.restart()when the application restarts, i expect the my.settings.setmeup = "howdy cowboy!" but when i check its contents its still "magical meow meow!".but when i use application.exit() instead of application.restart() and manually restart the program, my.settings.setmeup = "howdy cowboy!" which is correct.what must i do? i want to use application.restart() because i don't want the users to double-click the icon again to start the program. i want the program to restart automatically.

I am trying to create an msi install for my windows service. The reason for creating an msi is that the intended users want to be able to quickly install the service with as-little intervention as possible.
i can get the service to install as a msi but i have a variable within my code that i need the user to define when the msi is being installed. the variable i require from the user is the file path which they want the xml files my service creates to be located.
i thought i could configure the app.config application settings to contain the file path that the xml files should be written to. However i'm struggling to do this and im not to sure if its the best way to do it?
I have my setup project that contains my executable and has my textbox which will contain the one variable from the user.I have an installer class which contains my serviceinstaller and process installer. This is where im struggling to understand what i need to do next. Do i need to override the install method? The current code of my installer class was automatically generated and is as follows:

I've been switching over to VB.net with visual studio 2010 and there is two big questions that are bothering me When I want to create an installer for my program, how do I do the following?
1. Pick the folder on C:\ drive where I want it installed? (ie c:\program files\myprogram)
2. I have about a dozen access databases and monarch models that I've created to work with my program. How do I include these in the installer?I'm not quite sure if this is a vb.net forum question, so pardon if it isn'i'm just starting here because this is afterall vb.net that i'm writing all of this in.

I want to create a windows installer package using visual studio. It is my understanding that there was a simple way to do this in vb6, you could add an installer like you can add a new form.
How can I do this in vb.net? I downloaded and installed the Windows SDK from [url]... because it said somewhere that it could create installer packages and had tools to do so for .net

I 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.

I'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?

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?

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?

I'm using VB.NET 2003, and I'm using the installer that comes with the language. I remember reading on this forum a couple of years ago how to configure the installer so that it will automatically overwrite the previous installation. I had configured mine to do that and it worked great. Recently, the installer was lost do to a drive crash, and this trick was lost with it. I have looked through the forum for the post I read, but have not been able to find it. Does anyone know how to configure the built in installer to overwrite the previous installation when installing the program?

I have a ClickOnce app that has been working fine for a couple months, until a day or two back some internal politics borked the server. The result of this was that the path for ClickOnce during install changed just slightly at one intermediate level. It used to have /is/ in the path, and the is has changed to something else. I changed everything I could find, including recreating the whole target directory in IIS on the server. However, when I publish, though the link is correct, installation is failing. The log shows that, after checking and installing some prerequisites, the installation is attempting to go back to that /is/ path to find the app for installation.
Can anybody suggest where that invalid path is located? I have gone through every property I can find in Project|Properties, and they are correct. I have looked in App.config, and that is correct. Where else should I be looking?

I created a small application and an installer project for it. I can install and also run it, only thing htat i dont like is that during setup, it downloads .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 and this takes long sometimes. I want to have it on the installation CD later.
I have seen in the installer's detected dependencies, that there is the 3.5 framework contained and it has a InstallURL property = [URL]..I am a little confused about all the Framework stuff on this site - so just 3 simple questions:
1) which file exactly do i have to download,
2) where to put it and
3) what to write into the property InstallURL then? (Maybe needed to change also other properties)?
