Application Publish

[storm5510]

I have a small applications that I would like to run on another one of my computers. It has .Net Framework 3.5 and Windows Installer 3.1 already on it. I thought that would be all I needed. Wrong!

I tried to make a setup file using the Publish feature. The first time, it wanted to download and install Framework. It was already installed, so I stopped it.

I customized the Publish settings to exclude Framework and Installer. That didn't work either.

So, now I don't know what to do... :confused:

Which programming language are you using?

[storm5510]

VB 2008.

It turns out this is not the issue. The application is creating an error upon loading.

I created an installer with a 3rd party app which would place all the dependencies in the proper place. No success.

The only way to solve it was to install VB2008 on the other computer.

Wah-wah-wah... (http://www.sadtrombone.com/) Sorry, I can't help. Maybe a .Net deployment guy will chime in.

VS 2008 or did you mean VB.Net 2008 Express Edition? I'm pretty sure Standard Edition and above offer a better set of deployment tools.
