Creating A Windows Installer CD - Initiate The Windows Installer And Have Failed?
May 29, 2011I 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.

View 2 RepliesUse A Windows Installer To Set Group Policy
Feb 18, 2009how to build something like the following:I have an application that will reside on Kiosk style PCs that are out there in public settings. While the application is running on the Kiosk I'll need to restrict the access to certain PC features (reboot, command prompt, download files, etc.) so they don't mess with the PC. I need to build a Windows Installer that deploys the application and does all the set up needed to lock down the PC. The installer needs to do all the work; there can't be any manual steps besides running the installer. The installer will install the application, this part is standard. In addition it will create a local user and use Local Group Policy Objects to restrict the user's access to the machine. Then the machine administrator will log in as that local user and run the Kiosk application under this account. The hope is that the account is locked down and people playing with the application won't be able to stop the application or do anything malicious to the PC.I have been looking for a way to create GPOs in C# code. This way I can implement the GPOs as a CustomAction in my installer. So far I am not finding the right API for GPO management so I'm starting to wonder if I'm even on the right track.If you know of a nice solution for how to accomplish the Kiosk lockdown via a Windows Installer or you know something about managing Group Policy in a C# application

View 2 RepliesIDE :: File Versions Work With Windows Installer?
Mar 25, 2012I've read about revising the File Version (and Assembly Version) to ensure that an updated file does replace an older/previous file when a WI update installation is carried out, but I don't understand the four-part construction of the File Version ... and my re-versioned files sometimes refuse to transfer to the target computer.
For example, a .exe I have recently updated had it's File Version set to 1.0.0.0 (it is resident now in my Program Files (x86)/MyApplication folder) and File Date 23/03/2012, but even now with the File Version set to 2.0.0.10 and a File Date of 24/03/2012 when I use WI to install the new program over the original the 1.0.0.0 file remains in place and the new 2.0.0.10 file does not get installed instead.

VS 2008 Windows Installer Project Version Req?
Apr 5, 2009I've decided to go with a Windows Installer (Setup Project) in VS Prof, rather than ClickOnce,I've added this project to my main project, and have right clicked and selected 'View -> Launch Conditions', it requires the .netframework 3.5.21022...
But I've created the installer project for .NET 2.0 framework, is this going to stop someone from installing the project without .NET framework 3/3.5?EDIT: I've found under the properties of that installer project, that .NET framework 3.5 and Windows Installer 3.1 was selected as a prerequisite, unchecked those, and checked .NET Framework 2.0, however the version under the launch condition .NET Framework is still 3.5, it should be 2.0

VS 2008 Performing A Minor Update With Windows Installer 3.5
Mar 27, 2009I am using the windows installer which comes with VS 2008 to deploy my software. My initial deployment went well and I have several happy customers now. Unfortunately, one of my users found a bug. I have been able to locate and repair the issue- a simple math error in one of my forms. Now I need to deploy the repair to my existing customers without causing them too much headache in the update or, worse yet, inadvertantly deleting their stored database files.I know I can have them back up their existing db file, reinstall thenew app, and replace the new db files with their backup versions- but what a pain in the neck that will be, and it really won't look too professional, either.Does anyone know how to produce a patch to replace only the form that was repaired? Or, can I somehow exclude installing the new database files in the patch? I know the solution revolves around the Upgrade Code and Product Code, but I'm not putting the information together in my head very well.

View 1 RepliesUsing Visual Studio Installer For Deploying Windows Forms Project?
Feb 1, 2011I'm trying to build a setup program using the built-in Visual Studio Installer. I'm using VS 2010 and working on VB.NET.For the most basic kind of program, I have an EXE file which works on a XML file (the XML file is treated like a database). So on a Windows 7 platform with UAC enabled, the best deployment is to install the EXE file in the Program Files folder, and the XML file in the application data folder, for security purposes of Windows. (Windows, now, does not allow creating/writing files inside the Program Files folder unless your application is running with administrative privileges).
So I have added VS Installer to my current project and have opened its File System Editor. So to create the above layout, I've added Primary Output to the Application Folder. Then I've added its shortcut to the User Desktop.Now I need to place my XML file to the application data folder. VS Installer gives the option of User's Application Data Folder, which is the %appdata% folder in the environment table. I need to access the All Users' Application Data Folder.
1) How do I access the All Users' Application Data Folder over here?
2) I tried using the User's Application Data Folder. It doesn't work. It doesn't create any folder in the %appdata% (e.g. C:UsersFarazAppDataRoaming). I tried to play around with various properties, like AlwaysCreate which is supposed to create a folder obligatorily. It doesn't create anything.
