Way To Package A Vb6 Hybrid Application?
Jun 15, 2011
I've been working on a project for my company that's completely implemented in VB6. However, we've been transitioning small parts of it over into VB.NET (v4.0). Previously, we would simply use the Package and Deployment Wizard to bundle everything up into a single setup executable, but I'm not confident that it will be enough this time. If it can, we'd like for the setup to check if the .NET framework is installed on the target machine and then install it if it is not, which I'm pretty sure Package and Deployment Wizard cannot do.
I've been reading up on INNO scripting since it seems an appropriate alternative for packaging both VB.NET and VB6 projects, but it has a lot of warnings about including the wrong or unnecessary dll files. I'm a complete noob and this doesn't instill a great deal of confidence in me. I don't want our customers to run our installer and have their computers crash as a direct result.I've been doing my own research (apologies in advance if this question has already been asked, I didn't see any relevant threads)

I am wanting to use an application to package all my files together into a setup package. I have tried InstallShield 2011, but when i click on Visual Basic .net wizard, it tells me I do not have Visual Studio.NET installed on my system. I am currently using VB2010 Express How can I fix this... or is there a better application available for packaging?

Does anybody know how to edit a key in a Hybrid Dictionairy collection? I have a Hybrid dictionairy with keys in the string format, and the value in a hybrid dictionairy format.Now I want to change the name of a key without losing any items.[code]Groupname is a value that you get from a user input box. But this doesn't work very well.

The DBA has created a DTS package to update a SQL Server 2000 table. We have a VB .NET 2008 application that needs to execute this package. We thought that having the application execute a stored procedure to do this would suffice; however, we are exploring a way to execute the DTS package programatically.

I've got a DetailsView which has some static fields defined in my markup and adds some extra fields dynamically in the VB codebehind. It should be noted that the DetailsView lives in an UpdatePanel.Assume that I would like to get inventory information for a number of warehouses, but I only want to see those which have stock on hand. In addition I have some static information such as product, sku, etc.
The problem I was having was that every time I clicked the "Details" button it would just keep appending the dynamic fields to the end and never re-rendering the table. I figure I either need a conditional or to tell it to re-render somehow. I suspect this problem arises from my use of the UpdatePanel but it's important for the user experience of my customer to keep this.
'Warehouse Stock by Location
Dim stockDT As New DataTable
For Each row As DataRow In stockDT.Rows 'Add column for each Warehouse that has stock

I have created a windows application which Installs Multiple MSI's based on some condition. The project is created in Visual Studio 2008 with .Net framework 3.5; If this application runs in a machine which has atleast Dot Net 2.0 installs, it works fine. but the system without framework 2.0 throws an error "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135)"
How can I stop my application from crashing. I tried giving a check in the Main(), but it is not even firing the Main(); Is there any way I can give a prerequisite, But not in the Publish, Coz i am using the output exe and not the clickonce output..

I've developed a database application in VB.Net 2010 Express and published a ClickOnce deployment package, the only choice in the Express version. The installation is supposed to create a listing on the Start menu but this isn't happening. Also, I'm using a specialized Hebrew font in the application that is not carrying over to the installation. what I'm doing wrong or if the ClickOnce publishing method is not capable of working in this way?

I am using a 3rd party dll in an application and the installer does not register the component irrespective of any settings in the install package.It will register manually though using regsrv32 after installation.My question is how can I use the System. Diagnostics. Process.Start("cmd.exe")function to call the regsvr32 with the dll name after installation from the install package, also the correct syntax for referencing the installation folser if the user amends it on install so that it doesn't fail on execution because of spaces.Dim stRegPath as String= "regsvr32 & "" & Path.GetDirectoryName (Assembly. GetExecutingAssembly().Location) & "rogue.dll".

I created a simple VB application in Visual Studio 2010.My computer, which I am using to create the program, is Windows 7 Pro, and SQL Server 2008 is running on a Windows Server 2008 Enterprise, which I have full access to.
I want to click a button and have an SSIS package execute.I looked around on the Internet and found examples, but they do not seem to work for me.I try to add a reference, Microsoft.SqlServer.ManagedDTS.dll, as a few sites advise, but it is not listed when I go to PROJECT>ADD REFERENCE.
I also type:
Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Dts.Runtime but all I get is a squiggly green line, which when hovered over states "Namespace or type specified in the Imports 'Microsoft.SqlServer .Dts.Runtime' doesn't contain any public member or cannot be found." Below is some code I copied from one of the websites and pasted in my button click event (the path is correct), but a get blue squiggly lines under "Package" and "DTSExecResult":
Dim pkgLocation
As String
Dim pkg As
New Package[code]....
What can I do to make the SSIS package run when I click the button on the Windows application a created?

My DBA has several SSIS packages that he would like the functionality of providing the end user with a way to input values for variables in the package. What would be the best solution for creating an application that would take the user input and pass the data through to the SSIS package variables?
I can get this work locally using this code
Dim packageName As String
Dim myPackage As Package
Dim integrationServices As New Application
[code]....
Problem is this requires that the user have SSIS installed locally.

I have a Visual Studio 2005 project. Formerly, all our PC's and servers were 32-bit but we have rearchitected everything and purchased new hardware and we are running 64-bit servers. Here is my scenario. I would like to convert my 2005 project to 2008, maybe that will solve all my problems, if you think so tell me and I will concentrate on that. But when I tried to convert the project via the Conversion Wizard, I got 102 compiler errors and I think there would be more but that was the max. So I gave in and just worked on it in VS2005 on a 32-bit machine. The solution consists of five projects, one is a web program, one is a windows service, one is a library and the other two are install programs - one for the web program, one for the windows service. I want to install the Windows Service on a test machine which is 64-bit. When I tried to run setup.exe on that machine, I got this error:MsiInstallProduct returned '1638'

I need a DLL to be available to my app at runtime but the app has to be standalone with no installer so I can't package the DLL and ship with the app.I am using the technique discussed in this thread: url..That works perfectly. My problem is that I need to do the same thing with an additional DLL and I can't figure out how to do it. It would be easy enough to create a "stream2" and a "raw2" but how do I return both of them from the function? Or how do I only return the one that is needed at the time?

I am basically an EAI consultant and for my work I took an initiative to develop a windows based GUI whose functionality would be to simply execute a couple of Oracle SELECT queries and display the results in the form. I took the help of my friend who is a VB.NET expert and he was kind enough to develop the complete code for me within a day (He isn't available now). The application did work fine and we tried to package into an MSI using the Deployment & Packaging Project option. Now when I installed the application on a different computer, it throws OraOps10.dll not found ! I also tried the Setup Wizard from the same Deployment & Packaging Project option but it results in the same error.
Please note the following:
-> We used .NET 1.1 and the backend database is Oracle 10g.
-> We downloaded the Oracle Data Access components for .NET from Oracle's website. The DLL file in the error message actually came with this installation.
When I am packaging the solution, I expected all the dependencies including this OraOps10.dll should have also been packaged. What could go wrong here? I don't think I can request my customer to install the Oracle Data Access components for .NET, in this case we don't even need a packaging feature. I would be grateful to you guys if this silly issue is fixed very soon.

I was wondering if it is possible to bundle a .net framework client runtime (.net framework 4 to be exact). Because not many computers have .net framework 4 Installed and i don't want them to download from the microsoft site. As i checked the program itself is a redistributable package <link>. Now the problem comes how do i integrate this into my own installer so that instead of asking for a download it would just ask to install the framework and then install from the setup that will be included in the package. I am using a standard setup project. Using VS 2010 Pro.
