Deploying in VB2005? Whooah
Hello - I have made an application in VB.NET 2005 which uses a DNS less connection to SQL Server. I now need the best way to deploy this for multi users.
In the past on VB6, I could create a .EXE file and copy this to a server share.
I could then package and deploy the project and install on a client.
I could then point a shortcut from the client PC to the .EXE on the server and the program would run fine...If I ever changed the code, I create a new .EXE and replace the one on the server (instantly updating ALL clients)
...Now how to do this in VB.NET 2005 ?
(Any advice here would be much appreciated)
There seems to be no option to create an EXE file?
I do see one in the projects BIN folder...Is this it ?
If I copy this .exe to a server share and run it from my own PC where the app was made it seems to error with security (I think at the SQL connection part)

Its just asking for the location of where you want to locate the package, not where it will be installed.

Re: Deploying in VB2005? Whooah
I dont want to get taken down a road if its not going to get me where I need to go. In my first post I did ask 'a few' questions -
I was hoping for a slightly more in depth answer/confirmation to these than "Create a Deployment project in .NET"
I'm greatfull for any help - but if I knew HOW to do this and if it will recreate what I used to do In VB6 then I would not need to have asked.
Before going along this road -
Can anyone please check my original post and provide help on my questions?
Further explanation on my last post:
If I created an application within the folder.
c:\myapp
I now open Visual Studio and select new Setup & Deployment package and choose Wizard.
The name is 'myapp installer'
The location ? ...I thought this is where It will create the folder where it will put the installer, that is where I can browse to to find the setup/msi file to install myapp.
My last post was querying where I tell it that I want to package up the application I made stored at c:\myapp and not d:\SomeOtherApp?
