Hey,
Is there a way to locate a folder on a user's machine regardless of what operating system they are using.
I want to be able to locate the 'C:\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\Application Data\' folder and then copy my own folder to it when my program is installed.
Is this possible
thanks for your help
Chris

Hello,
I'm trying to create an installation package for my rather simple VB.net application and the users don't want to use it because they don't want to have to install the ".net" framework that it asks them to upon installation. I thought there was a way to include the libraries in the installation package (or the program itself) so they didn't have to do this?
How do I build it so they don't have to install anything from MS?
thanks,
JennyP

It appears that you can't. The .NET Framework files in the deployment solution don't actually end up in the final set up file, they just exist there to stop the setup project build from complaining about missing dependencies.
Do you want to know more?

If that's true, it's VERY lame... I should have used Borland.

You are allowed to distrubute the redistributable on its own. And there are likely ways around it (creating a small installer bootstrap that calls one install after another is one that springs to ming). And I don't think Borland will be any different as, from my understanding, its a licencing issue rather than a technical one.

For the second time in a week, I simply cannot understand how somebody can get to the END of writing an app and only THEN discover that their client machines need the Framework.

Hello. In retrospect, I should never ASSuME anything, but I believed that there would be no real difference between 6.0 and .net---in 6.0 I was able to statically link the few libraries I used. In .net, it's not an option.

VB6 had a runtime too, the only differences were:
1) It wasnt the 23Mb Monstrosity that is the .NET Framework
2) It was pre-installed on most users's machine as VB had been around quite some time.
Within a few years the same may be true for the .NET framework as 2) above, but for now you need the redist of the .NET framework.

there is a bootstrapper right here:

There are projects out there that will install just the components of the .NET Framework that are needed to run your app. There is a HUGE downside to doing this though. If your clients eventually get around to installing the .NET Framework or expect that a .NET Framework Service Pack will fix a problem with your app, they are SOL because the fix won't install. The reason? The .NET Framework is not installed and the Service Pack will not install just the files it needs to fix your partial installation. Software has already hit the market that requires the Framework, so they'll have to install the thing eventually. Why not start with your app?

Hello,
I'd very much like to use this if you know where they are? My distribution is VERY limited (less than 50, I'd say), and the lifetime is less than a year.
thanks,

How do I create a sub prodecure and call that procedure from the navigation menu items.
|
|
|
|

Like this?
Public Sub Test(ByVal whereto As String)
If whereto = "gotohere" Then
GoTo gottohere
End If
MsgBox("Im here")
gottohere:
MsgBox("Im here too")
End Sub
Private Sub MenuItem1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MenuItem1.Click
Test("gotohere")
End Sub

or this?
SUBROUTINE linka(d, n, f)
INTEGER d, n, f, table, document
C In subroutine linka, via primary entry point
DO 10 i = 1, f, n
.
.
.
10 CONTINUE
RETURN
ENTRY search(table, f)
C In subroutine linka, via entry point search
DO 20 i = 1, f
.
.
.
20 CONTINUE
RETURN
ENTRY punctuation(document)
C In subroutine linka, via entry point punctuation
DO 30 i = 1, 5
.
.
.
30 CONTINUE
END
Sorry, the Punchcards are in cold storage but here is the Code Map.
PROGRAM main
|<---- CALL entry1(val)
| CALL entry2(val) ------>|
| |
| END |
| |
| SUBROUTINE sub |
| |
-----> ENTRY entry1(a) |
a = a + 5.0 |
RETURN ! Return to main |
|
ENTRY entry2(a) <--------
a = a + 10.0
END ! Return to main
|
|
|
|
|
oop's here it is:
PROGRAM main
|<---- CALL entry1(val)
| CALL entry2(val) ------>|
| |
| END |
| |
| SUBROUTINE sub |
| |
-----> ENTRY entry1(a) |
a = a + 5.0 |
RETURN ! Return to main |
|
ENTRY entry2(a) <--------
a = a + 10.0
END ! Return to main
