How do you create a Install project in C# Express?

I've been using C# Express and couldn't find anywhere to create an
installation project, like I could in VS2003. Is this possible with the
"express" version of VS?

I think that is precisely what they left out.

Doesn't it only allow click-once deployment (or whatever it's called) in the
Express editions?

Yeah, I just found the product-matrix and the only thing that Express
editions have for Deployment Tools is the ClickOnce deployment. Not exactly
sure how that works, researching now...

And when you've done all the work, post the results here. It gets very
complicated when you want to add other files like databases etc.

I've been thinking that I might just do a normal VS2003 install program for my
program once I've worked out what files to include. ClickOnce doesn't allow you
to set the registry or create desktop shortcuts etc.

I didn't upgrade to VS2005 because I didn't think it was worth it to pay
$800+(Australia n) for a service pack.

Oh come on. VS2005 is more than just a service pack.

Can you do .NET 2.0 in VS2003? Cause AFAICT that's about the only difference
between the two...

There were some changes to C# but what are you going to do when C# 3.0 comes out
? Buy the product again? And then there is C# 4.0 ...

Anyway, I tried to make an install program in VS2003 to install the .NET 2.0
runtime by using the .NET plugin, but it seems to assume that because I'm using
VS2003 I only want to install .NET 1.1.

You've obviously never actually used VS2005 then.

If you want to do a real setup, download WiX from Sourceforge. It's a lot
better than the setup project that's bundeled with Visual Studio.

Hi to all. After working a while with visual basic express 2005 and SQLserver 2005 express, mainly to learn the vb language and to take my first steps with ADO.net, I decided to buy Visual Basic .Net 2003 standard edition. The install went fine and in the server explorer I can connect to all databases on my SQLserver 2000 MSDE, not to those made with SQLserver 2005 express, but this seems normal, isn't it?

I would like to create a database for my application when it is deployed. This database can be from different types depending on the tool installed on the customer computer and will be chosen during the startup wizard. Where do I write the code in the project? How do I open a new database programmatically? How do I open a new database and copy data to it from my files programmatically? Is there an example explaining this?

I want to create a database with one table on the host. I can't user SQL Server Management Studio to do it so I guess I have to do it programmatically. I have in mind that in the session start (or maybe application start would be better) I'd check to see it the database exists and if not create it. The problem is that I have no idea how to do that.

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.
