I have four PCs. I developed a Visual Basic 2010 program (using Visual Studio 2010 Professional) that runs fine as an .exe file on the PC on which I developed it. It will not run on the other 3 PCs I have even though all are up to date and have .net 4 installed. I shared the file with others and they were unable to run the program as well. How do I get my .exe file to run on other PCs (that do not have Visual Studio 2010 Pro installed on them)?

I want to include System.Data.SQLite.DLL file
I recently had to format my PC, So I moved my project files and build files to my External Hard Drive, and continued to work on my project.. I started to receive emails saying that the application is saying "Cannot download the application. The application is missing required files. Contact application vendor for assistance." After clicked view details, I found this:
+ Downloading file:///C:/Users/myuser/Downloads/Browser.application
did not succeed.
The .application file is not in Downloads, its supposed to download it from my website. And if I were to open my project on a computer with it already installed, it won't check for updates - it opens really quick without the "Viewing Application Requirements" window.
When a project is built in VB, the executable file is created in the \bin\Release folder. Apart from the executable there are other files that get created:
MyProject.application
MyProject.exe.manifest
MyProject.pdb
MyProject.xml
Are these files required to run the executable? Is having just the MyProject.exe file in the setup enough? And what are these files for?
I need to get file size of some files, which i can get very easily by using FileInfo class.. As of now, I'm looping through all files in My Directory and then taking their file sized into a notepad.But the real problem for me is,Like this, I'm having around 100 Root directories, each contains ~ 1000 subdirectories and each sub directory contains ~ 80 files..Yes, I know, that, I can use a recursive function and loop through all dirs and sub dirs and thus the files.. which was taking huge efforts in terms of time.I want to know, If there was any other alternative, which will make my task more easier and efficient.
View 4 RepliesHi, can anyone help me with a click once deployment query?I have packaged an application, using Click Once - it all works absolutely fine, with the exception of some files I need on the C: drive. For example: My application populates an Excel.xlt template with data, using an export function. The path of the template is c:program filesaem
eport.xlt
If the application is packaged, there is no option that I can see where you can include this template and the path to the file. The only way around it is to manually copy the template (and half a dozen other files in the same folder), after the click-once deployment - but this kind of defeats the object.
Where can I find the files (of the project) I need to create the setup? The builder in Visual Basic sucks really hard, so I'll try InnoSetup.

View 2 RepliesI created a simple BMI calculator through the guide.I have built it and published it on my laptop running Vista Home Premium with .net 3.5 SP1 installed.I can run the setup and subsequent exe file fine on my machine but when I try it on my girlfriends netbook (one of those fiddly little things) it wont install saying that some of the files are missing. It is running XP and also has .net 3.5 SP1 on it.There are only 2 extra files in addidtion to the setup.exe that vb 2008 creates and they are the application manifest and the program icon, both of which are located with the setup.exe but it still won't install. It is an offline installation but won't run.I copied the bin folder from the project to the setup folder and tried that, still no joy, yet if I try and run the actual program directly it works?
