how I can include a file in a setup.exe package and have it copy/add that file into a specific folder/directory when the install is run?
I have a Crystal Report that is in the application's "Release" folder in the development environment. I need to have this .rpt file copied to a folder on the user's C: drive when the Setup.exe is run.
I have developed a windows forms desktop application using vb.net 2005. It is installed on client computers using a setup package.
One of the clients wants to redistribute the setup package to other users.
He wants to provide the users with an initialization file containing the database server name which they will be using, so that it is available when the application is installed. They are apparently incapable of physically typing in a server name themselves after installing the application.
Is there any way I can include a separate file with the setup package which the application can find after it has been installed?
I have developed an application which includes CR to display reports. I just found out to run these report, CR runtime engine needs to be installed.

But how to add CR Runtime Engine installation to my set up?

View 2 RepliesI finished an important project (Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition) and now I have to deliver it with an appropriate installation program. My product is composed by a lot of projects and each of them generates an exe file with its images, help, xml , database etc. A main exe calls a sub exe for the work it has to do passing appropriate parameters. I think is not suitable to use a click-once feature and I have looked for the deployment wizard but I didn�t found a complete documentation and moreover some example step by step.where can I find that documentation, tutorial and example ? It�s possible to customize the forms generated by the wizard ?

View 1 RepliesI've created a setup project for a VB.NET 2010 application that I've written. The application, and the installer both work fine on my development machine.The installer works fine on other machines, but when I run my application it immediately crashes and dies without telling me anything useful. I've tried it on Windows 7, Windows XP, and Windows Vista machines... and all had the same problem, so I think it's more of a package configuration issue than a machine-specific problem.Here's the most useful information that I was able to get out of it:

The setup will check if MS Access 2010 Engine and Crystal Reports Runtime 2010 is installed. If the installer detected its already installed it will just install the application.
