Deployment of Dependencies

How do I add componants to the installation package so they will be
installed with the installer?

I have some COM DLL's that have dependencies (late bound) and I wish to
include those dependencies in the deployment project. If I add them to the
project directly, .NET wants to build an interop around it which is not
necessary. I see a node for detected dependencies in the deployment
project, but no place to manually add files.

Thanks,
Troy

All you need to do is add the files to the File System Editor, in the
folder you want them to be installed to, usually the Application Folder.

Hi gurus. I've got a deployment project that included the project output from two other project in my solution. They have almost identical file dependencies. In fact, they both have references to a 4th project in my solution that house core biz functionality. My problem is that the deployment project shows duplicate depencency items for everything. What's the best practice here? My compile works and the install works but I get tons...

Hi, I have deployed a .NET winform application using a web server.

Hi, I've created a small program using vb.net (an exe). I created another project to install this program on another machine (XP).

Ok, I am just checking some information. I have created my setup package. The only dependencies that are not included are the OWC.dll and Office9.dll.

I was intending to use an XCOPY install for a VS2005 C# WinForms app but when I copied the files and ran the app on a clean machine it failed when it needed Crystal Reports. Can you not use XCOPY deployment if you have Crystal Reports dependencies? Is there an available Crystal redistribution package I can run before doing my XCOPY deployment? TIA

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
