[2005] Deploy new application.

[Pierrewhy]

I have finish my first VB.NET Windows project with Access DB and it is sitting on a server.
It was published on the same server on a different directory.
Everything works fine when running the setup file on the server.
My question is, can I take the publish files and install them on each users desktop and then run the setup file?
Will this give them access to the project on the server?
Being my first project I'm not to familiar with publishing.

Thanks for your help,
Pierre

If each workstation has the framework and all dependency files loaded on it, they should be able to run the exe from a server.

Strangely.... that's not quite 100% true... to run .NET apps off of a network share requires updating the manifest giving the app permissions to be run off the network... there's been several discusions here about that. Search for caspol, .NET and network.
