View 1 RepliesI'm using Visual Studio 2010 and I have a Batch inserted into my project and cannot for the life of me get it to run with the program in someone elses computer after publish?
View 7 RepliesI've just finished my programme, and would liek to publish it for beneficial use . But when I publish the code, only my own computer (which has Visual Basics Express 2008 Edition installed) could use the published executable file. All the other computers comes up with a warning saying a .NET environment is required.
How could I publish the codes so that the programme could run on all (or most) computers without having VB installed in all of them?
Now I did a clean build, and tried to publish, and I get a lot of errors and warnings that I don't understand.

I created a hangman game and It works well when I debug, but when I publish and place it on my son computer, when you guess a letter wrong it shows an error and says it can't find the images. I just it is something that I'm doing wrong but I don't know what. Some of the thing that I have tried is including the images in resources. I believe that it has something to do with the startup path, the path that the images are looking for does not exist. The installer installs the program in the programs file
Private Sub ShowPicture()
Dim strImagePath As String
strImagePath = Application.StartupPath & "imagesfig" & intNumWrongTries + 1 & ".gif"
[Code]....
With the following code I can list the display name of all software installed on a local machine.
'Declare the string to hold the list:
Dim Software As String = Nothing
'The registry key:
Dim SoftwareKey As String = "SOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionUninstall"
Using rk As RegistryKey = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(SoftwareKey)
'Let's go through the registry keys and get the info we need:
For Each skName As String In rk.GetSubKeyNames()
Using sk As RegistryKey = rk.OpenSubKey(skName)
[Code] .....
What I need is to get the FileName
to be used to start the application like notepad.exe and not just the displayname
Dim p As New System.Diagnostics.Process
p.StartInfo.FileName = filename & ".exe"
instead of all listed in the registry key, "Microsoft Digital Image Library 9" doesn't even show in installed programs list. [Code]

View 3 RepliesI am creating a project with VB2008 Express Edition. The end result will be a CD containing tech manuals in pdf format which will be accessed via various buttons on a form. I am going to include Acrobat Reader Redisributable on the CD which the user can install by pressing a button on the form if required. What I want to do is this:- When the user inserts the CD into the PC, the form will load.When the form loads, I want to search the users PC to determine if Acrobat Reader is installed.If the Acrobat Reader program is not found on the system, then display a MessageBox to inform the user to install the reader from the CD.Would this involve searching the users registry? I would need to insert in my Form1_Load sectionTarget systems would be Windows XP/ Vista with programs on the C: drive as default.

View 3 Replieshow if it possible to publish program straight to wep. I asked before another question about publishing and making setup files, that worked well. But now I have finished other of my programs and I want to know can I somehow add it straight to wep site? I have now used suntuubi.com as own wep site, it's not the best but its free :) And I have usually posted a link to download setup from mediafire (or some other) but can I run that program from my page without any downloads? I made that program with windows forms application, do I need to use wbf broswer application? ( if so, can I somehow fastly switch it without making everything again?) And one more, if it is possible in some other wep site than suntuubi.com can you recommend it?

View 8 RepliesI have a WinForm program developed in VB.Net with Visual Studio 2005. The program needs Microsoft Office Runtime installed atleast on the computer to allow the application to run without any errors.
Is their a way to check the computer to see if the minimum of the Runtime or Microsoft Office is installed on the computer? If either isn't I would like to display a message to the user on the startup of the application that states to atleast go to Microsot's site (I have full link to Runtime Download) and download the runtime for free.
Or is their a way to include the runtime as a component with my install for the application so if it isn't installed on the computer already it will install when the application is installed?
How do I fix this error in Visual Studio? "The project file cannot be loaded. The application for project ... is not installed" I have copied a whole project onto my PC, both into My Documents/Visual Studio and into inetpub/wwwroot, but when I try to open the project in Visual Studio, it tries to open just 1 file .vssproj and gives me error messages, like : "The project file cannot be loaded. The application for project ... is not installed.". What am I doing wrong? The VS edition is 2005 as are all the projects aI am trying to load.

View 5 RepliesI am coming to the end of coding this system in Visual Studios 2008 which I took over from a guy who has worked on it for a year.He is not here anymore.He made 9 projects and put them into one solution(screen shot below).I have only published a .NET website for VB and have never published something like this.P3Data is the only one that the publishing tab comes up with. All the other projects the publishing tab does not come up. Why is P3Data bold? How can I publish the whole solution 'P3Data' as one whole entity?

I have tried to publish my program. For the time being, no errors when save or do anything. Then again, when I check the database (Ms Access 2007) that is being used, there is no data in there.

I have finished developing a small, completely useless but working project. It was my first in VB.
What i wouold like to know is how is the best way to get this project online for download?
I dont have a web site or web page, and this project is just a bit of fun (fitness test).
Could anyone tell me the steps I have to take? All i want from it, is to be able to place a series of screen shots explaining the project and then if someone should wish to download it they can.
I dont need prime time internet coverage, just a place to put it online, pref free. Plus, there have been many kind people from this forum who have given me thier free time and effort to help me with code issues, so if I am allowed and any one is curious i will post the site link to here and you can see where your effort has gone to, and should you wish provide positive and negative comments at your leasure.
Since I'm unable to publish my main project, I've decided to start from scratch to see if I can locate the problem. I created a brand new project, just a simple form and dragged 4 controls onto it (a label, a button, a combo box and a checkbox). There is no code in any of the controls.I published this using Clickonce at url...(I'm aware people may not be happy clicking links). It's set to run only from the webpage. It runs fine on this PC, but on my friends PC and on my spare PC, it simply churns up a page of html error codes.

View 11 RepliesIs there a way I can publish *.ascx files without adding them to my project?I am trying to make my user controls in Visual Studio 2010 reusable. I have a project containing my user controls called ControlsLibrary solution directory. I copy the ascx files to the web directory upon building the project with build events.I use the command copy "$(SolutionDir)ControlLibrary*.ascx" "$(ProjectDir)controls"
This copies the *.ascx files from G:/SolutionDirectory/ControlsLibrary to C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/WebProject/controlsNow when I publish WebProject, the publish does not copy the *.ascx files from C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/WebProject/controls to my website. This is because they are not added to my project.
Is there a way I can publish *.ascx files without adding them to my project?I know there is a way to publish all files by selecting the option "All files in this project." That includes more files than I want.
I am by no means a programmer, but I was recently tasked with moving our website to a new server, since the website manager quit. The Visual Studio solution was written in 2008. I can compile and run the solution, so I'm sure it's working just fine. But every time I try to publish the solution, either to FTP or to my local hard drive, the .asp webpages get deployed to a sub directory, where on the live site, they are in the root.
View 1 RepliesI am getting two errors
1) Cannot publish because a project failed to build.
2) An error occurred while signing: SignTool.exe not found.
Regarding #1, I can manually build and rebuild the application without error. I only get this error when I try to Publish.
Regarding #2, I looked in my SDKv3.5Bin directory and indeed the signtool was not there. In fact I only had 3 files (genasm.exe, genasm.exe.config, and hidpi.res). I copied the signtool.exe from the Visual Studio 2005, (file dated 10/26/2006), but I still get the same error saying it can not find the file.

I have a very old plug-in software developed in Visual Basic quite years ago, now its getting time to modify the copyright info. At this point, the issue is now that I was not the author so I don't know anything about it.
I have updated the source files which includes a SLN, VBP, WIP, MSI and so on, then I tried to use VS2008 to open the SLN file and after Conversion it given me a message "The project for XXX.wip is not installed, please make sure the application for the project (.wip) is installed", Apparently this is not right version to get going on. Can everybody tell which VS version can proceed it? or any idea how I do this?
