Hi Jassi,

I have never seen this error, but a couple of things to try:

a) Silly but just to be safe - make sure your edition of VS .NET supports
setup and deployment projects
b) Make sure you have excluded the .NET Framework MSM module from the
installation
c) Try to repair VS .NET, it might be that registration for some VS .NET
components has been lost.

Hi, I want to know if there is a place to learn about Setup Projects, because I'm trying to make one but can't do the things I want to do, like add a registry key or allow the user to select/unselect optional parts. Can somebody help please or supply a link to a place where I could find the ansers or just learn how to make these projects? Thanks

Installing Merge Modules from C# Windows Form Application (not using a setup and deployment project) Hi, Currently, we have an InstallShield project that creates a setup.exe that only installs 20 or so merge modules. It does nothing else. We then have our own custom, C# Windows Form application that installs our software applications. It does this by copying files, creating registry keys, etc.

OK, sorry for the silly question but..... I have been writing apps for a while now in VB.Net but I have always just run them from the IDE. This time though I have written an app that I want to install on many computers. So, I went to the program group looking for "Package & Deployment Wizard" as in VB6 but it isn't there! So, how do I create a setup program?? Thanks

Hi, I want to create an installation for my project (built using VB.Net 2003). I have two components in the setup and user may install only one of them to start with. I would like to give users the ability to run the setup again to install the other component. I have built the setup using the Setup and deployment project in VB.Net. But after installing, when I run the setup again, the only options I have are 'Repair' and 'Remove'. I don't...

I want to deploy a service with a windows app and the setup program must conform to the Vista certification requirements. Can that be done with the standard .net setup project? Assuming cost is an issue, what else is available?

I am not sure if I post this issue at the correct newgroup. If I need to post it somewhere else, please let me know what is the correct newsgroup for this. I am using VB.NET 2005 and I create a "setup and deployment" project. When I use this installation to install on a user's machine, how can I merge some registry settings into the user's machine ? Thank you

In VS2005 I have a working setup project that installs several CABs with the main app. I also need to have a setup project that only installs the app itself. I created a new setup project and added the build output of the deployment CAB, and the primary output from my custominstaller dll class. So the only difference between the first, working setup project and the new app-only project is that I didn't inlcude the additional CABs and INIs in the...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

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,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
