vs2008 vb application installation

I am trying to deploy my first application using vb. I have tried to use the one click but here is my problem.

I have a group of data files, some *.txt and one access data base (*.dbf) that I need to have placed in a folder (that is created) located at c:\monitor.

I can't figure out how to do it in either the one-click or in a setup project. Can anyone help.

I would also like to have a condition that if the files exist that they are not overwritten with an updated installation.

Any help would be wonderful.

Unfortunately, you can't use ClickOnce/Publish to do what you want. You'll need a separate Setup project or a third-party installer.

I'm unfamiliar with the Visual Studio Setup project but is should be able to do what you want (I use a third-party installer): that is, detect the existence of files and overwrite, or not, as necessary.

Hi,

If you looking for a Tool that helps you to create windows installers you can find it here.
