Installing Application - MyApp Has Encountered A Problem And Needs To Close
Jun 21, 2010
I have built my first VB 2008 application and now I want to install it on other Windows 7 & Windows XP computers. I have tried various Install Programs but they all giving similar problems. Is all I have to do is copy the contents of the bin directory to the other computers? [Code] When I try to run my application I get the message "MyApp has encountered a problem and needs to close". Can you suggest what I am doing wrong?

I have completed and distibuted a VB.net (VS 2008) winforms application to numerous users.
One user reports the following error when opening the application:
"[Application] has encountered an error and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. If you were in the middle of something, the information you were working on might be lost."
I can't reproduce this.

sometimes, when I use Form.close() when debugging my program, although the form is closed, the application is still running. I noticed this behaviour when using the msgbox function.

When I used the Published program to Install it in my same computer it got installed in "StartMenu".
I didn't get the option to select the Drive for Installing it like what we get when installing other program.
how to make that option to appear on installing the program?

i can publish my app fine.it creates the setup and the rest of the files, whatever they are.on my operating system, the setup runs fine.when trying to install it on another system, it asks for the microsoft 3.5.net.this update can take quite a while.how can i publish my app, in such a way that it can run from the files in the setup and not have to have any other addons, as .net framework. i know it's possible, since i was able to install other software before i had the .net framework.

I want to distribute this program I've made and it has a database it needs to install. So I made the setup project and put the database in the "application folder".
I built the setup project and ran it. It does successfully copy the database file into the application folder. But when I run the program it says file cannot be found, even though the file does exist and at the path specified where the program says it cannot find the file.

We are using a Windows 7 virtual machine as a testing platform for our VB 6 application. Th application utilizes an Access database.The application locates the database by looking at a configuration (ini) file.When I install the application on the virtual machine, it places a database where InstallShield directs it to and writes that path to the ini file. All well and good.However,somehow a second copy of the database is created in a user local folder.
If the user uses the "run as administrator" option, the application uses the database that is in the location designated in the ini file and that works fine. But if the user does not select the "run as administrator" option, the application apparently somehow attempts to use the local database and is unable to locate it.
Is this behavior is peculiar to the virtual machine, or is it something we need to be concerned about on "real" Windows 7 systems?If it is peculiar to the virtual machine, is there some way to get the virtual machine to behave more normally?

I am not an expert in using vb.net, but I am trying to make my vb.net project accessible to others. I've done it before (about 5 years ago) with another program. This program is basically the same just for a different product line for us. I have all the files on a server. I published everything to a directory on the server...the directory is in the same spot as the other directory. I checked all of my project properties and have now made sure they are the same as my other project. The publishing works fine. But, when I try to run the setup.exe or the .application file, I an error message that pulls up a log file. I've looked all over and found similar log files, but no solution that seemed to work. Here is what the log file is telling me. Any help would be great. I am thinking it is something simple...remember I am not an expert. And, I know I got the other one to work a few years ago when I moved it from visual basic 6.0 to vb.net. I am using Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition to work with my project.

I've done a vb.net program. The program basically uses few reference for example system.io etc.In order for my program to run on another computer, the computer need to have .net framework 2.0 installed.Instead of installing the whole framework, can I just pack the references I used in the program together with the vb.net program.? What packager/packer program should I use and how do I go about doing it..?

My application runs using Framework 1.1. It runs perfect when the client PCs have Framework 1.1 (without SP).After installing Framework 1.1 SP1, Framework 2.0, 3.0, 3.5 (and their Service packs), it gives a Nullreferenceexception error when adding a row to the datatable. This is the entire exception message

I'm going to be using a text file to record and save values, line by line, and then pull these values out again upon restarting the application. Almost like a save file of sorts, just for some basic numeric variables.Getting the information in and out won't be too much of an issue, however I am wondering if there is a way that during the installation of this application, I could specify a place to create and save this text file, for eg:
c:ProgramFilesPOSxstocklevels.text
I have VS8 Professional, so I do have the Setup Wizard tool, which may allow me to attach files.

We are installing our application on windows 7. The application utlizes a Acces database. The application locates the database by looking in the registry under at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SOFTWARE / WOW6432NODE / COMPANY NAME / SOFTWARE NAME /STARTUP. When i install the application on windows 7 it places the a database where installshield directs it to and writes the path to the registry. However, somehow local copies of the database are showing up under the user profiles. (Example: c:/users/profilename/AppData/Local/VirtualStore/Program FIles (X86)/Company/SoftwareName/Data). We recently changed it to store the information in c:/ProgramData/Company/software however the same issue occurs and its creating local copies of the database and when the application runs it points to the local copy of the database. What we need is for all users to be pointed to and use the same database in ProgramData, is there something we are missing to accomplish this?

I have an app developed with VB .NET as front end and SQL Server Express 2005 Database. Now I want to install it on a server so that other client PCs can access it. My gquestions are:
1. Do I have to install SQL Server Express on the Server before I can install my database on it?
2. Do I have to install Visual studio on the clients before I can install the front end?
3. Is there any online walk-through/tutorial on how to accomplish this (ie, installing a database app on a server and connecting the clients)?

When I try to install the application from the files it produces when I follow the prompts from Build - > Publish (Visual Studio 2010) onto another computer, and then run the application on the other computer, it wont connect to the SQL database on the original computer. I've been receiving a timeout error or one which says it can't find the server.I have no idea where to start looking to fix this, both computers are running XP and 4.0 .NET Framework. The computers are linked on the same network.I think my connection string is the culprit, but I don't know how it should be set up to run on multiple computers. Here's my connection string:[code]The connection string works on the application I've installed on the original computer, but not the second computer I've tried installing the application on.My second thought was that it could be the server which is wrong, I've just used the name of my computer for that, is this correct? I thought it may be because all the computers are connected on the network.

I had developed a vb.net windows forms application for my company. It is working fine in our company. The database of that application is maintained in a separate server. I had direct connection to that database through sql connection in my application.Now one of our colleague wants that application to be installed in his laptop so that he can work on it when he is at home. How will I do that? The application will get installed but the problem is that the data won't get saved (as he won't be connected

I'm working on a MySQL database with a VB.NET front end, and I'd like the installer to first install MySQL and Connector/.NET (if they aren't already installed) and then run a query to load the dump file that I'm including among the program resources.Is this possible, or will I have to instruct my users how to install MySQL and Connector/.NET themselves beforehand?
