[RESOLVED] Deployment Problem & PowerPacks 10.0.0.0

Visual Basic 2010 Express

After creating the deployment files, when trying to install on another machine, I get the following message:

Quote:

---

Unable to install or run the application. The application requires that assembly Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.Vs Version 10.0.0.0 be installed in the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) first.

---

I have tried to find the power pack but am unable to.

I also came across the "App runs on my computer, but now others" thread and in particular post #10, but am wondering whether this only applies to the full Pro version as I do not see how I can do this.

Moved To Application Deployment

Perhaps here's your answer: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/For...8-10a9c938a3c3

Thanks for the link.

What I did after reading that thread is to:

1. In the properties page, navigate to References tab.

2. Removed the references to 10.0 PowerPacks.Vs

I then created the install and tested it on a 64bit windows machine which was giving me the problems. It worked.

However, since starting the thread, I removed the rectangle shape that probably started all this, so this is not really a cure in the long run.

As I understand it, the file should be part of the deployment, but I do not know how to accomplish that. I also find it odd that version 10 cannot be downloaded from Microsoft.

I know this thread is old but for anyone having this problem like I did, all you have to do is go to application properties/references. Look for the reference name and click on it. Then in the properties panel set copy local to true. Then re-publish and it should work. :)

Unfortunately none of the solutions in this thread worked for me but I found that if I copy and paste the Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.Vs.dll into the same folder that holds the executable then the program runs fine.

I also found that the dll can be put in c:\Windows\assembly but the assembly folder has to be open to copy the dll into it.

This solved my problem! Thanks very much!!
