User installer for an application

Re: MSDN "Walkthrough:De ployimg a Windows Application"

Attempting to generate an installer for my application I ran into two
error messages executing instruction 5 of paragraph one, namely:

The name 'Shell' does not exist in the class or namespace '<my app.>'
The type or namespace 'AppWinStyle' could not be found

Am I to understand that the installer is bugged?

In view of the time elapsed since my posting I am not expecting a
response any more. Should you read this query and have a suggestion I
would be very pleased to hear about it at pa************* **@hetnet.nl
Many thanks.

The sample code is for VB, so my guess is that there are a couple of
namespaces that you are not importing (using) in your app that are defaults
in a VB program. The fully qualified line would be:

Microsoft.Visua lBasic.Shell("n otepad.exe",Mic rosoft.VisualBa sic.AppWinStyle .
NormalFocus);

Or, you can try the following line:

System.Diagnost ics.Process.Sta rt("notepad.exe ");

Would there be a walk through for C# that you know of?

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,...
