Build Project Running The Advanced Installer?
Apr 5, 2011
so instead of when i build my project running the advanced installer t make it a exe i just went to my visual basic projects folder and ran it from there and it worked good, so i though if i make a zip file the files in it password protect, and just leave out the startup icon then my users can just click that to use my program while not being aloud into the source code, but after i zipped the folder the program doesnt work anymore, any way to do this?

I was studying visual basic 2008 and had reached almost 60% of it when I was told that my course curriculum included visual basic 2005. I will now have to reinstall visual basic 2005(.net framework 2) instead of visual basic 2008(3.5 .net framework). I was wondering- will it be completely different vb2005 and vb2008? I really wanted to stick to vb2008, I was getting the hang of it. Also, I was wondering, can I run my application vb2008 in .net framework? Is there any way around? Also, I used advanced installer to build a setup file for my application? Now the question is will the other computer(the one which will install from the set up) need .net framework of 3.5(since I built apps in vb2008)?

In my project properties I have the version/build numbers automatically incrementing... I'm on 1.0.0.16.
The problem is that with each new/updated installation, my build numbers aren't changing... even though my project properties page shows the appropriate version/revision incrementing. I created the installer project at version 1.0.0.13. Although I'm now at 1.0.0.16, My "About" form still shows 1.0.0.13.
I do not hard-code the version in this form... I use the following
Me.LabelVersion.Text = String.Format("Version {0}", My.Application.Info.Version.ToString)Hope this isn't too vague. The installer project creates a setup.exe and setup.msi file. When I publish my solution is also creates a setup.exe file.

How is conditional compilation controlled for a VisualBasic web? For a VB Windows app, I put a conditional variable in Project > Compiler tab > Advanced > Custom controls.
How in a VB web app is a conditional compilation variable assigned that can be accessed by all the files of the web app?

I made a change to a project and hve induced a major problem. I have warnings and errors now, but I can still debug the project with the "last successful build" Iwould like to just revert everything to that build but I can't find a way to eliminate the problems I induced or find a way to go to a earlier build. Hopefully I can get back to an earlier version or I will loose the entire project as I can no longer get to the designer.

I am using 8 different vb projects in one solution, beside this I am also using one 3rd party control ion all the projects, while compiling the application it takes around 5 minutes to build the project, While building the application I have observe that it uses lc.exe file which is used for "Reads text files that contain licensing information and produces a .licenses file that can be embedded in a common language run time executable." at this point it takes too much time.

I use VB 2008 express edition. I want to be able to make an installer for my project. If I run the executable file from the development computer, it works fine. When I try to install the program in other computer, it tries to download .net framework. Is there anyway to prevent this to happen? I have the .net framework installer in a CD.

I've decided to go with a Windows Installer (Setup Project) in VS Prof, rather than ClickOnce,I've added this project to my main project, and have right clicked and selected 'View -> Launch Conditions', it requires the .netframework 3.5.21022...
But I've created the installer project for .NET 2.0 framework, is this going to stop someone from installing the project without .NET framework 3/3.5?EDIT: I've found under the properties of that installer project, that .NET framework 3.5 and Windows Installer 3.1 was selected as a prerequisite, unchecked those, and checked .NET Framework 2.0, however the version under the launch condition .NET Framework is still 3.5, it should be 2.0

Recently I created one windows form application and also created setup project using VS2008.My application works with external software, which needs to be available on the PC.I want to bundle this external application installer in my installer, so that I can check if it is already installed and if not then install it and then install my application.I figured out how to work with pre-requisites that Setup project identifies such as .net framework?

I'm trying to build a setup program using the built-in Visual Studio Installer. I'm using VS 2010 and working on VB.NET.For the most basic kind of program, I have an EXE file which works on a XML file (the XML file is treated like a database). So on a Windows 7 platform with UAC enabled, the best deployment is to install the EXE file in the Program Files folder, and the XML file in the application data folder, for security purposes of Windows. (Windows, now, does not allow creating/writing files inside the Program Files folder unless your application is running with administrative privileges).
So I have added VS Installer to my current project and have opened its File System Editor. So to create the above layout, I've added Primary Output to the Application Folder. Then I've added its shortcut to the User Desktop.Now I need to place my XML file to the application data folder. VS Installer gives the option of User's Application Data Folder, which is the %appdata% folder in the environment table. I need to access the All Users' Application Data Folder.
1) How do I access the All Users' Application Data Folder over here?
2) I tried using the User's Application Data Folder. It doesn't work. It doesn't create any folder in the %appdata% (e.g. C:UsersFarazAppDataRoaming). I tried to play around with various properties, like AlwaysCreate which is supposed to create a folder obligatorily. It doesn't create anything.

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)?

I am using vs 2003 to build a setup project but got this error message"Could not find file ..., Not enough storage is available to complete this operation."I checked the path of the file, it is correct. After I remove this file from the setup project, I can build it successfully and the result msi file is about 250MB, the file I removed is about 260MB, is there any limitation about the size of the file in setup project or the total size of msi file? If so, how can I build the setup project?

I added a setup project to a winform vb.net app which otherwise builds fine. Once the setup project is added to the solution, however, the build fails with the following error;Unrecoverable build error.As there does not seem to be much information I can't figure what the problem is. What can I do from here to fix this to get deployment package?

In VB.NET, my application is quite simple, and it accesses many images and creates a list with them.The images are in my application's Resources folder.The images are accessed in my code where I typed the path, in my PC, how to reach said folder.Works like a charm, my project displays the images etc.Now I go to Debug->Build.Now I go to the bin folder, release folder, and find my application. I upload it.I share the download to a friend.My question is, will the images my application should show will appear? Considering the path I created in the code was manually written?

I have written a small VB.NET simulation program that uses an XML file to configure the simulation. I want to include this file in the project build so that when the application is installed, there will be a default XML file in the required directory.
When I do the Project Publish (within VB 2010 Express), there is no option for including any extra data files in the process.
Is it possible to do this with VB 2010 Express ... or should I try some other project builder/installer.
