C# - Program Installation - With The Default Location?
Feb 18, 2012
I'm a beginner. I recently developed an application in C#. Now I wanna develop its setup. I read a few articles online, followed them, found it very easy. I also changed the default location of application folder from C:Program Files to C:. My application folder is containing a few folders besides exe and dlls which I added manually.
Now here the problem starts, when I install the application and change the location say from c: to d:, my files (all files including exe and dll) are going to user's given location. But my folders (all folders in application folder) are going to c: (which is default location given while creating setup). But I want output files and that folders at same location

[ProgramFilesFolder][Manufacturer][ProductName][Version] is the Default. i Want to change the programfilesfolder to documents folder.
I already try this:
[DocumentsFolder][Manufacturer][ProductName] but it doesnt work. error in installing the product. ERRROR: "Could not access network location Polongo companyMC"

In my setup and deployment project, I have made all the directories I needed. The problem I have is: With the registry keys, how do I enter the value field with a wildcard for the location to the new installation. People don't always use the default location, so I need my key to dynamically set the registry to the correct place. So what do I do? [ProgramLocation] or something?

I need help changing the default installation directory for a deployment package installer. The application's default directory is currently: [ProgramFiles][Manufacturer][ProductName].
What would I change this to, so that I can install the software directly on the root drive; Such as 'C:ManufacturerProductName'?

Just started using the Windows Browser in one of my forms so the user can select a photo they need to load. This was surprisingly easy (This seems to be the norm in Basic, if you think it will be hard it isn't and visa versa). What I am struggling with is how to set the default location to 'Computer' rather than a disk letter and directory name. The photo is most likely to be on a card reader or Memory stick so the drive letter is likely to change.
I am guessing the command will be:
OpenFileDialog1.InitialDirectory = ???????

Computer.FileSystem.FileExists(Environment.GetFolderPath(ProgramFiles) to get the Program Files directory in my application. The problem is that when running on a 64 bit version of Windows 7, I am getting the Program Files (x86) directory, not the 64 bit directory. As far as I can tell, everything is compiled as 64 bit.This code is actually in a DLL that is accessed during the installation of the program.
Is there any way to get the 64 bit path?

Basically I want my program to do the following, it's all theory atm but i'll put it down psuedo style..
WHEN formloads CHECK
does userdetailsexist
IF userdetailsexist THEN
loginform.show
[code].....
Get it? First time the program is opened, the user creates an account with it and a file is created stating that an account has already been made, and then the user logs in.Second time its loaded, if that file exists, don't show the NEW USER page, and allow the user to log in, checking their details against the local file.Now whats best, a txt file? A db?Whatever method as I need all the settings chosen in the program to be there every time it loads up...Also, Is it best to make this program have to be installed so it has access to all the resources on the computer?

I'm working on the VB.NET VS 2010. We are creating a software distribution list. Currently a user needs to go to the Add New Programs wizard to view their available programs and then click install. We'd like to automate the clicking of the "Add" button to and kickoff the installation via a script.

I'm making a custom installer program and I have a next and back button, and 2 forms, Form1 and Form2. I click the next button and instantly the next form is there. I tried to do that with .show and .showdialog but if I do that another window pops up to either replace or add to the current form.

I've just finished a project, but in it, you can switch between three backgrounds, and I want to export it to another computer with an installatinoprogram, but I have no idea how to do that. I know that it should put these pictures somewhere so the program knows were they are. while it's installing, i want a picture to come up over the status bar, and maybe something that you must agree with terms.

I'm working on a project that will be finished pretty soon. But I've got a problem: I have songs in the program, and in the installation program I want to add a sub folder that installs on the computer in the same place at the game. In the sub folder pictures and music should be. But how do I do this and how do I change the file path so it can independent be installed on a new computer?

I'm looking for suggestions on keeping a program that is running on a network updated. Installation consists of 15 users, each have the program on their local pc, but they all access same date from sql server. I am looking for a clean method that would allow me to update one folder on the network and for each computer to get updated when they run the program and the programs sees a later ver on that folder on the network. (Obviously I can do this inside the program itself since it won't allow being overwritten while opened.)
