Publishing VB2008 Express Program?
Mar 24, 2012Published VB program will not run on another computer yet works fine on the computer the program was written on. Message window during set-up on the other computer reads "Cannot download the application. The application is missing required files." The set-up file is being run from a flash drive.The entire error summary is included below. A recurring line in the error message summary is "+Downloading file:///C:/Documents and Settings/username/Desktop/Application Files/filename_1_0_0_6/filename.exe.manifest did not succeed."The word "filename" is the name of my program. "username" is the computer's owner.Interestingly, the "manifest" file on my computer is kept in C:UsersusernameDesktopApplication Filesfilename_1_0_0_6filename.exe.manifest" I'm running Windows7; the other computer is running Windows XP.How do I get my program to run on another computer?

Publishing A VB2008 App Which Include A Webpage With Images?
May 26, 2011As part of my VB2008 Express edition app there is a web page containing help info. This web page is accessed locally from the app using a form containg a Web Browser control. The page (e.g. "foobar.htm") contains approx 15 screenshots - and so there is a directory ("foobar_files") associated with the htm file.
I can successfully add the help page to my project and then after installation access it from the apps startup directory (or copy it to the user's My.Documents directory) but I'm at a loss as to how to include the associated "foobar_files" folder and it's contents - such that after installation the web pages images become viewable in the apps WebBrowser control.
I have also tried creating the page + images as a single file web page (i.e. foobar.mht) format - but the VB2008 WebBrowser control doesn't seem to handle this.

Dec 21, 2009i went up to "Build > Build Project" then "Build > Publish Project." So I went to the director i published my project in, and I ran Setup.exe, I followed as prompt, and then when the Splash screen unloaded, the project stopped responding and closed. So I ran the debug on VB8 and it ran fine passed the splash screen. Then, I tried going to the debug folder, and run the project from there, it ran fine to. So I tried another solution. I copied, and pasted the .exe file in the debug folder to my desktop, along with the .dll files in the debug folder to, ran it, and it got an error instantly after running it.So the only way I could get it to run, is to leave the .exe in the Debug folder, and to run Debugging in VB8.Also, I really don't like the way VB8 publishes the files and you have to run the setup each time you want to run the program. Is there a way to just make it a normal .exe file, like the ones vb6 makes?

Not Getting Data Access After Publishing Project
Mar 21, 2011I want to publish my vb.net project, but when I publish the project, there is no access to database. It is showing error : "System.Data.OleDb.OleDbException: Could not find file 'C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Apps\2.0\N3WEXXZN.DE6\JHJXMQC9.9N6\mara..tion_c355efc190f94c5f_0001.0000_d27846b1540f4a39\EventsTable1.mdb'."
I am giving connection string as
"Provider=Microsoft.JET.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath & "\EventsTable1.mdb"
OR
"Provider=Microsoft.JET.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=|DataDirectory|\EventsTable1.mdb"

VS 2008 Publishing A Project With ClickOnce?
Aug 30, 2010I have a project and I'm publishing it with ClickOnce. As it publishes, it asks: "Version 1.00.xxx (etc) already exists on the server, do you want to overwrite it?" -- well, I click yes, and then I run the setup file and install it (I publish to my desktop), and guess what -- it's the old version of the project.For some reason, unless the version that is published is greater than the prior version, even if I tell it to overwrite that version, it is not published properly!
This has caused me some headaches, as I test my program on another VM, find errors, fix them in code, republish, and find the same bugs in my program as I test it again because it didn't publish the latest or newest version of my program, I even tried the simplest thing, I changed the text on my main form window that opens to something different from previous, and no matter how many times I publish, and click overwrite the old version, the old version remains!

Mar 18, 2009I am trying to publish a project. Via the publish wizard I have published the project. So I have:Project.applicationSetup.exeand a directory application files in which:Project.applicationProject.exe.deployProject.exe.manifest.

2. there are a few xml and mdb files I want to include in de project (or else the project does not work).
But because of (1) I don't know where to do so. Or beter yet, I would like to include these files in the installer.3. Why doesn't the installer ask me where I want to install?
Publishing A Project With Sql Server Database Access?
Dec 20, 2011i am trying to publish a vb.net project that has is connected to a database. the project can be published and installed and runs fine without the data base part. i get following error message: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException (0x80131904): A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)
i assume that it simply cant find the database. where do i need to adjust the database file settings to make this work.

Oct 13, 2009I am using Visual Basic Pro 2008 SP1. I am currently working on a windows application form project and everything was fine until recently when I try to add a new item (does not matter a new form or control), the whole program is frozen up. If I look at the task manager, the "devenv.exe" process memory usage keeps increasing until FatalErrorOutOfMemmory. I can run build, debug without any error. I can publish the project and run the program without any problem too. I have tried to open a new project and I can add a new form or control without any problem. I wonder if there is something in the project causing this problem and where I should start to troubleshoot it.

(I want it appears in the Program menu on moving the Cursor on the Program. 2) How to create the "Uninstall" for a program?3) I couldn't make my program to appear in the list of Program Menu after installing (I'd to make a "Shortcut" of the program in the Program Menu), it didn't appear in the Desktop also - again I had to make a Shortcut on the Desktop also manually.The Tutorials didn't explain anything about this but only showed these options are available.

Feb 15, 2010 In one of my forms witch I imported from VB2008 there are all properties saved in the *.resx file. One Property, of the Type System.Windows.Forms.Keys, can contain the Value 'Ctrl+F1' witch compiles fine in VB2008, but not in VB2010. To reproduce, simply add the following to any resx file:
<data name="cmdFenster.ShortcutKeys" type="System.Windows.Forms.Keys, System.Windows.Forms">
<value>Ctrl+F1</value>
</data>
It will compile fine with VB2008, but not with VB2010. Notice: The VB2010 also generates this Code in the resx file

View 5 RepliesVS 2008 - Timer - Project A References Project B So Can Open A Large Form In Project B
May 5, 2010For reasons that are beyond my control, I have three Projects. Projects A and B reference project C. Project A references project B so that it can open a large form in project B. I now need to open that large form from project C, but VB won't allow me to add a reference from C to B because that would create a circular dependency. I found a way around it, though. I created a Timer in A, and when I opened C from A, I passed in that timer. When the user performs a certain action, I enable the Timer from A, and this causes C to open B for me.
View 2 Replies.net - Publishing WCF App?
May 12, 2011I had a working WCF published to IIS on my server. Recently I created another, self-hosting WCF (windows service) and added a reference to it from my WCF on IIS. Like this:
ASP --> WCF (in IIS) --> WCF (as win service)
Now, I can't seem to add a reference to my first WCF in my ASP app. So I've got this:
ASP XXX WCF (in IIS) --> WCF (as win service)
Here's the service model from the WCF in IIS. I'm publishing to http://localhost/LetterWriterASP/
