Deployment Confusion. Setup.exe does not work.
I am trying to install my application on another machine. I am using the setup.exe automatically created by VB.
When I try run the setup it throws out GAC errors specifically about the ADODB.
This is my first attempt at deploying a VB app. I assumed that the setup.exe would take care off all installation issues.

I read that before. Didn't really help me any.

Re: Deployment Confusion. Setup.exe does not work.
What part did you have confusion with? Sometime you have to use a different approach to understand the approach you want to use or at least tell the difference.
Without knowing what you have in your app and what your app is doing, no one can tell...

Re: Deployment Confusion. Setup.exe does not work.
Like I originally stated. The setup does not update the GAC properly. So, how does one include that in the setup.

Re: Deployment Confusion. Setup.exe does not work.
Global Assembly Cache?
No one knows what you are doing or how....

Re: Deployment Confusion. Setup.exe does not work.
Ok. I am using VB 2005 Express. I let it create the setup file (clickonce).
When I use this setup.exe on another machine it gives me the following message:
Quote:
Unable to install or run the application. The application required that assembly ADODB version 7.0.3300.0 be installed in the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) first.
So that is what I am trying to solve. Obviously my application is using ADODB and the PC that I am trying to use this does not have this.
So how does onecreate an install for a VB app that does all it needs to do.

That sounds like an MDAC issue. Have you included and installed the MDAC?
-
Re: Deployment Confusion. Setup.exe does not work.
Tried installing MDAC 2.8. Received message that it was not compatible with that version of Windows. That all the features of MDAC were already included with Windows.
-
Re: Deployment Confusion. Setup.exe does not work.
That is because you are probably installing the RTM version of 2.8. I assume you are installing on XP?

Re: Deployment Confusion. Setup.exe does not work.
Hmmm...which one do I need to use then.
-
Re: Deployment Confusion. Setup.exe does not work.
What OS are you installing on, XP?

Re: Deployment Confusion. Setup.exe does not work.
You should be fine there then. Your problem seems to be your installation contents.
-
Re: Deployment Confusion. Setup.exe does not work.
What should I look for then. What info can I post here that would be relevant.
-
Re: Deployment Confusion. Setup.exe does not work.
Post what you have included in your installation...
