I have my main project file. I added another solution within it. So BOTH solutions are under the MAIN project file. I can use a custom setup file, and all that other fun stuff, coupled with the 'Check for updates' via Clickonce.
IF i were to use the clickonce setup file..is there a way to have both programs be in the SAME programs folder on the start menu?
if we need to install ClickOnce application on client's computer, if we need to run a setup file made with ClickOnce?
Also, when we publish, how can we specify if we want to use ClickOnce or Windows installer?
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?

Welcome to the All-In-One Code Framework! If you have any feedback,
This is my first time using this ClickOnce thing (not liking it) howver I'm attempting to setup a file association. I added my extension to the project properties - publish - options - file associations screen and once I publish and install it associates to the file. Double clicking the file opens my application however I can't manage to get the path for the file in my application.I used to just use the command property but that seams to work fine in debug mode does nothing from the ClickOnce file.I tried useing My.Application.Deployment.ActivationUri.ToString as one site I found suggested but that just crashed my program.Try as I might I just can't find a useful explenation or example on how to get that file name into my program so I can open it.

View 1 RepliesI have created a clickonce application with a file format to be associated with it. (publish -> Options -> File associations) I have tried to get the file name from command line arguments but i can't. I think that there is an other way to get it.

View 2 RepliesI've used VB2008EE to create a Windows Forms app which includes a Help form. The helpform contains a Treeview for navigation and a WebBrowser control which displays the relevant part of an HTML page containg the help information.The app is intended to be used offline - so I need to include the HTML page file as part of the published app, and I need to be able to specify where this HTML file will be installed on the target computer so that the URI in my Helpform which loads the Help page will locate this file.
(I expect the HTML file should live in the directory pointed to by the:
My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.CurrentUserApplicationData property)
how to specify the Project settings and Publish Wizard etc. (& whatever else is necessary) in order to achieve the above.
I am trying to deploy a VB.net application that is currently using SQL Server 2008 as its database to connect to.I need this application to be able to include a copy of its data so that wherever I install the application there is no need for them to install SQL Express.
What i have been reading is that I should of been using SQL Server Compact Edition to do this. Is there any way that I can do this with using an .MDF file?If not, is it possible to convert an .MDF file to .SDF and then just include it in my vb.net app?
How do I publish/deploy the WinForms application including a database file via ClickOnce?

Welcome to the All-In-One Code Framework! If you have any feedback,
I've built a VSTO add-in for Microsoft Word and deployed to a webserver. Installation goes off without a hitch. When I create an updated version of the application and redeploy it to the webserver, the add-in correctly detects that there's a new version and attempts to update it. This is where I'm running into the following error (the "xxx" indicates that I had to censor something):url...The customization cannot be installed because another version is currently installed and cannot be upgraded from this location. To install this version of the customization,first use Add or Remove Programs to uninstall this program: xxx. Then install the new customization from the following location: url...This appears to me as if I left a local reference of some sort in my Project, but I can't find anything of the sort. The only reference to this file is within the xxx.vbproj.FileListAbsolute.txt file that's generated in the bin/Debug folder.Not sure if this is also a clue, but I'm seeing Registry Keys added referencing this as the location of the VSTO Project Manifest.
