Setup and deploy for my project worked fine for a while allowing you to install my program and uninstall the old version, but now it installs two entries. I don't get it, before I got it do do that it would give an error that it needed to be uninstalled first. Now like I said I get two entries in the programs uninstall window. RemovePreviousVersions = true. I change the version number and update the product code. Even tried changing the upgrade code. I just don't get why it doesn't work anymore, and its really annoying! Also, is there a way that the setup file can just be one .exe rather then a setup file and a data file?
I have developed a s/w using acces and sqlserver 2008 and now trying to make a setup file. How could be the possible way?? I tried in VS2008 software and development. But after installing from the msi file and running the s/w it shows an error "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0 provider is not registered
i am publishing an app in vb.net. it's creating setup.exe and a folder called application files. i am told that setup.exe is stand alone and does not need any other files. is this right? because when i put setup.exe in a different directory it says that some files are missing.
The program I am building requires a lot of initial user input. I was wanting to stream line this by creating a 'config' file so to speak that after the user enters all the initial data they can click a button that will save their entries into a secure file. When they leave for the day and come back they can click the load button and it auto fills in all the relevant data that will be stored in the file.
Still digging through the MSDN for help, but no luck on options yet.
I was thinking save the information to a text file somehow, but passwords will be stored and I would like to make it secure if possible.
I want to create a folder " c:imagebox " when the user runs my setup.

I am creating a VB windows form applications , the working can be summarized as users fills some form and data is saved in sql server database.Now the problem i am facing is that i have to deliver this as a setup file to someone, and that person will further distribute it to different users to run on their PC, what i am thinking is that the code once installed on other computers and executed will give errors because of the connection string of sql server db as it will not match with that computer . I know that if a distribute projects i can put connection string in app.config and every user can change it according to his/her machine .But as i am giving a setup file how to solve this problem

I am creating a visual basic project for class. It is all running as intended though I am not sure how to set up the login to database function. When you click the link for the specific report it should display the page. But I get a login to database page. I am just wondering how I set that up so that one can actually see the information. ie:
Is it possible to create a custom start menu shortcut link?
The only possibilities I see in the setup project are shortcuts to folders or primary output.
Update:
What I ended up doing is creating a custom action on commit that dynamically creates the link using Windows Scripting Host. Then on uninstall, removing the link.

I have my main project file. I added another solution within it. So BOTH solutions are under the MAIN project file. I can use a custom setup file, and all that other fun stuff, coupled with the 'Check for updates' via Clickonce.
