View 20 RepliesI want my app to load a .exe file specified by the user, crypt it then save the crypted .exe file on a path also specified by the user. I need some guidance on this. First of all, I am currently using IO.filestream to store the .exe file. When I save the completed file (so far in development, that means a copy of the file as I haven't added encryption yet) the .exe file appear there alright, but without the icon (it has the standard/no icon instead) and it does not work. I tried outputting it to a .txt for examination and it was a bunch of tokens as one would expect. Here is the statements:

Setup and deploy for my project worked fine for a while allowing you to install my program and uninstall the old version, but now it installs two entries. I don't get it, before I got it do do that it would give an error that it needed to be uninstalled first. Now like I said I get two entries in the programs uninstall window. RemovePreviousVersions = true. I change the version number and update the product code. Even tried changing the upgrade code. I just don't get why it doesn't work anymore, and its really annoying! Also, is there a way that the setup file can just be one .exe rather then a setup file and a data file?

I have form, on which a component is placed, which is inherited from Forms.UserControl. This component, called Panel, handles the layouting as visible in the screenshot below.
The screenshot shows 10 Panels. Each Panel contains its own title bar and visible area, in which any UI can be displayed.When the application starts, the application contains only one single Panel. When the user decides to split this Panel into 2 Panels, those new Panels are displayed side-by-side in the area of the old Panel either horizontally or vertically. Inbetween these Panels a splitter is added, so that the user can resize the Panels. The user can do the splitting multiple times, so that you reach a layout as given in the screenshot above with 10 Panels.
Minimizing and the maximizing the application causes a painting issue as displayed in the screenshot below. The red rectangle indicates the area, where the layout is not displayed properly.
Here some additional information:
1. Windows 7 The issue occurs only on Windows 7 machines. On Windows XP the application is running properly.
2. .Net Framework The application was developed for the .Net Framework 1.1. I upgraded it to 4.0. All warnings were fixed, which occured after the upgrade to 4.0.
3. Layouting Technically The Panel works internally with mutiple Forms.Panel, 1 Forms.Splitter etc. objects. If the Panel is not splitted, it displays the title bar and a visible area below, both instances of Panel. If splitted, the Panel replaces the title bar and visible area with 2 instances of Panel again but divided by a Splitter.

View 2 Repliesi have few questions about the user interface when working with a VS setup project
1. i have added a Checkboxes dialog, i have 3 checkboxes they are used to select upon 3 tools to be installed, so during the progress of the instilation, how should i let the project know which of the 3 tools was selected ? (i hope i was clear)
2. a bit of silly question - is it possible to edit something in a dialog ? like in my case in the "finished" dialog my customer didnt like the the end button is named "close" and he wants it to be named "Finish"
finally, this is an extra non programing but it would be good if i was able to find an answere :P, when i plug a USB in the computer it opens the autoplay, and i have my instilation file in the USB (it will be distributed on a USB rather than a CD), so i want to add to the autoplay a button that runs the instilation file
We're in the process of releasing software and i've noticed that our standalone version (Windows forms) reinstalls for each users, the issue for this is that we sell to colleges and generally they install of network shares. When the software tries installing for a user it can't find the network share (e.g. permission denied).
How can i stop the installer from launching when the user launches the software.
