I have made this little program and installed it and am also using it, but every time I'm working on Updating or modifying the program something happens to the exe in my installed version. Why is that ??

It is because for sure you have mixed up some things :p
how would you do that? I'm not installing anything and I'm for sure not working out of that directory.
"Something happens".
Uh, be more specific. They shouldn't affect each other.
I know that! that is my whole point.
For some reason (and this is as specific as it's going to get) at some point in time the exe comes up missing. I don't know why, and I don't exactly know when.
I only noticed it again because it asked me to reinstall when I used the shortcut to make an entry.
I guess I don’t even know that VS is doing it, that was only an assumption because that is all I worked in all day long.
Just explain what you did. Is this what you did?
1- Developed your program.
2- Added a setup project to your solution.
3- Installed the package on your own computer in a proper directory, with proper shortcuts.
4- Went to VS and made some changes.
5- Now that you try to run the installed program, it says you are missing that?
Is that what happening????
Somewhat!
1. Developed Program
2. Added Setup to Solution
3. Installed Package
4. Later went to VS and deleted the Setup Project
At this point it was still working fine
Last night I was making more changes to the Program, It was still working then.
And a little while ago I tried using it and the exe was gone.
???
This part is confusing: The changes you made to program has nothing to do with the installed one. You dont mention what was working then, the one you made changes or the one you had installed? Did you hope to see the changes in the installed one? Were did you install the program? Maybe you installed it in the setup project directory and when you deleted that it is all gone.Quote:

No,no!
I did not mess with the Installed Version whatsoever!! I only deleted the Setup Project because I’m about to make a New one.
And besides, that should not have anything to do with my installed version!
My program is installed to C:\Program Files\My Program and VS resides on my D: Drive.
Are you sure about that? They shouldn't affect each other at all.Quote:

If C is your primary drive, then how did VS let you install on your D drive? :confused:Quote:

Mine refused to let me install anywhere BUT the main drive.
I have three Operating Systems Installed, about VB.Net not letting you install to D:\, I don't know about all that.
Anyway, this is not the First time this has happened, I had that exact same thing happen with another program before. I'm really thinking about Renewing my PC.
Is it possible you have Norton or something similar running on automatic, and your exe somehow is being recognized as a virus & getting automatically deleted or quaranteened?
