Creating A Windows Installer CD - Initiate The Windows Installer And Have Failed?

May 29, 2011

I have written a program in Visual Basic 10 and all is well. I have published it and have been burning the result to a cd and installed it on various computers, however it is the click once app, which has been fine till now. What I need to do now is to have the program install the .exe file and associated files (non click once app) to a specific drive on a computer or network computer. I have searched the net for instructions on how to initiate the windows installer and have failed. is there a program that you can select the source files then point to the installation folder tell it to go and an installation package gets made that I can burn to disk.

VS 2008 Creating An Installer?

Jun 9, 2010

I am currently in the process of creating a simple installer to copy files that come with my program and move them into another directory (a game, which I modded, I decided to create an installer to make it easier for people to install). However, I am looking around and trying to find out if it's possible to compile the files into one .EXE instead of a .EXE and a folder containing the files. Whether VS 2008 can do this, I don't know. If it doesn't, is there another program which can compress it into a standalone .EXE?

VS 2010 Creating An Installer

Apr 30, 2012

I'm normally an ASP.NET developer but my latest project has me writing a console app. For this console app to function, it needs two executables, two DLLs, an XML file that should be configured with a WinForm I've developed (so another .exe), and a working folder should be created (for when my console app runs). Further, it would be nice to have it automatically set up a Scheduled Task for batch operation.How do I package the various files into a self-extracting package? I'm playing with WinZip's self-extractor creator and it's okay, but I don't see a way for it to launch further processes, such as creating a working folder for the console or launching the WinForm above.Is there a way to create an auto-extractor in VB.NET where zipped contents are part of the "payload" of the .exe? It seems to me this would give me the most flexibility, as I could write a WinForm that does everything.

Asp.net - Communication Between Multiple Web Applications Using SignalR

Oct 11, 2011

Application A (Bidding Interface) - A web page to allow multiple end-users to place bids on certain items.

Application B (Managing Interface) - A web page to allow a user (or could potentially be multiple users) to monitor/control the actions from Bidding Interface.

So when a user from Application A place a bid on a piece, I'll need a way to alert Application B that a bid has been placed. Then from Application B, should the user choose to accept the bid, I need to send an alert back to Application A (to update current price, increase bid etc...)

How To Create Initial Installer And Upgrade Installer?

Aug 12, 2011

I'm currently developing an application for a POS Terminal using VB.net. Our project is approaching the last stage of development and I've been tasked to create 2 installers. 1 for Initial Installation, and the other for upgrade installation.

The project is composed of several elements. These are:

1. The application executable

2. Common DLLs that we developed

3. some resources (.resx and XML)

The requirement for the upgrade installer is that only those files with modification should be installed. (i.e. if only the xml or resx files are modified those are the only items that will be reinstalled, since the size of the upgrade installer is a consideration so we cannot reinstall everything).

I'm using Visual Studio 2005 for my deployment project but I'm a bit confused about how to set the properties of each file in such a way that during the upgrade, only the files that were modified would be updated and the rest of the files will not be removed since I'm setting RemovePreviousVersion property to True. I have a hunch that I need to do something with the custom action but I haven't been able to figure it out. The upgrade installer setup is almost the same as the initial installer except that all files are excluded.I tried to acquire a copy of Phil Wilson's book (The definitive guide to Windows Installer) but its not available in our local bookstore and it would take too long to order it.

Basically while tinkering with the settings/properties there are instances where the dll was not updated and there are also times when the application exe was removed.

I already verified that the Product code is the same for both installers and that I'm sure that the version number is being incremented for each upgrade.

If I will be redoing both installers from scratch, how should I go about it?

I'm also confused about the Condition property and the transitive property.

Building A Single Setup For Multiple Applications

Apr 7, 2010

I have been working with Visual Studio 2005 for about a year and a half but the deployment task was never left to me. So now I'm being asked at my company to build a setup which will prompt to install up to 4 applications, which can be chosen by the user using checkboxes.

All of the 4 share the same dependencies, so I created a merge modules package for that purpose. But I still don't know how can I build a single setup to install these 4 applications.

Office Automation :: Multiple Instances Of Applications

Jan 6, 2010

I am currently writing an application in VB.NET that draws to a Microstation(MS) CAD application. Like Excel, MS has a robust COM object library that can be programed remotely. Hence, I am posting this in the VB Office Automation forum.In the case where the user invokes my program and there are multiple instances of Microstation(MS) open, I need to let the user determine which MS application instance they would like the program to draw to. It could be potentially catastrophic if the program draws to an unintended application/file.So my problem is this, I need to know how to convert an instance of the application that was found by enumerating through the GetProcessByName method in the Process Class, to an "Micros tationDGN. Application" object.I have read the responses to Post 1317219 by jprg. In a response to that Post, (Post 1317389) Mike_R replied;But if you want to actually manipulate the Excel instance via automation in order to create and save a new file, etc., then it's pretty close to impossible to convert an instance that you grab within via the Process class to an Excel.Application instance.

Multiple Versions. Free - Options - Able To Convert Vb6 Applications

Jun 5, 2012

I am a vb6 enthusiast willing to try NET. I am confused by all the versions and the fact that limitations of the 'free' version are not spelt out. My requirement is to be able to convert vb6 applications (possibly, but don't mind a manual rewrite), to write applications (not for tablets or phones yet) that I can use myself and possibly publish to others. I would like to allow printed reports for my financial applications. I will have a small home network up soon but ability to operate on a network is not critical. I do NOT want to download a 'free' version and find that it is crippled one way or another, like allowing development but not publication.

Whether the 'free download' is OK, and which one (Express?), or point to a site where the versions are clearly laid out.

.NET Framework 3.5 Offline Installer Is 200 MBs Larger Than The .NET 4 Offline Installer?

Jan 13, 2011

I have code/support an application built on .NET framework that has always run on .NET 2. This year we are upgrading the application to use .NET 3.5 (or 4?). In preparing for this change we noticed that that Offline Installer (required for our customer base) for .NET 3.5 is 200+ MBs bigger than the .NET 4 offline installer.

Here are my questions.Why is the dotnet 3.5 installer so much bigger than the 4 offline installer?

Can we TARGET .NET 3.5 but distribute .NET 4. In other words, is .NET 4 backwards compatible? Assuming that .NET 4 was the only installed .NET could application still target earlier frameworks?

IF our application is compiled for x86 CPU (rather than Any CPU) do you still have to distribute the x64/x86 Client Profile or can we just distribute the x86 Client Profile? In other words, can we distribute the x86 Client Profile even though it will be installed on x64 machines if our app is compiled for x86 target CPU? Any risks or gotchas for doing this?

The issue is that if we upgrade our app to target .NET 4 there are a lot of application servers that we also have to upgrade which effects a number of other applications.

Creating Multiple Sql Stored Procedures From .net?

Jun 21, 2010

I'm creating a database installer where I have some code to create database, tables, stored procedures, etc.I don't have problems when creating the database, tables and inserting required data. My problem is when my code gets to the stored procedures section.

Here is what I do:I have different text files (database.txt, tables.txt, insertdata.txt, storeprocedures.txt) where my sql syntax is located.I execute every process/text file using the following:

ExecuteSql("master", GetSql("database.txt")) ' Creating 1 database.
ExecuteSql("mynewdatabase", GetSql("tables.txt")) ' Creating 15 tables.
ExecuteSql("mynewdatabase", GetSql("insertdata.txt")) ' Inserting data to many tables.
ExecuteSql("mynewdatabase", GetSql("storeprocedures.txt")) ' Creating 6 stored procedures.

Here is part of the error:In exception handler: Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'PROCEDURE'. "This is the second stored procedure because the variables I get below belong to the second one"

Must declare the scalar variable "@intVariable1".
Must declare the scalar variable "@intVariable1".
Must declare the scalar variable "@intVariable1".
Must declare the scalar variable "@intVariable1".

When trying to create 6 or even 2 stored procedures using the same file 'storeprocedures.txt' is not possible. If I leave just 1 it works but I really want to keep them together.

Creating 15 tables using the same file 'tables.txt' works, inserting data in different tables using the same file 'insertdata.txt' works.This is the general syntax I use:

Create Procedure sp_stored1
@intVariablex int
As

[code].....

Is is possible to create more than 1 stored procedure the way I'm trying to?Do I need to end every stored procedure with specific sql syntax, other than the 'end'?
