Before I start down the road with my first VB2005 app, how do I distribute
the finished app? Assuming it is strictly a standalone, how do you create
the install package? I am coming from the VB6 world and there are many good
installers that would identify the libraries needed and include them in the
package.
I have used Package and Deploy from MS, InstallShield Express, and Inno to
create good VB6 installations. Is there something similar for VB2005?

There are two solutions. One is the so-called "XCopy deployment", in which
you need only distribute any files that appear in the "bin" subdirectory of
your project - presumably in a ZIP file or other similar archive. The
other solution is to add a Setup project to your solution; when you do
this, there is a wizard that will help you. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

My dial-up connection sometimes hangs up and has to re-connect. The VB2005
installer/downloader apparently doesn't know how to resume when the
connection is re-established. It just aborts!
I've wasted many hours on this.
Can the whole package be obtained at once with a "smart" download manager
instead of having to use the VB2005 installer?????

1. Is there a more suitable, dedicated newsfeed for VB2005 yet?
2. I'm confused as to which version to get. I work for a small company and
we will just need VB2005 on my PC. Therefore that tends to suggest the
express version, but I write some pretty complicated stuff (including
SQLServer transactions, network programming etc) and I am wondering what is
missing from the Express version in terms of components, functionality etc.

Hello,
I just upgraded a vb2003 app to vb2005. The vb2003 app had/has a statusbar
object - which contains panels and I can see the properties of the statusbar
in the properties window in vb2005.
But in the tools list of vb2005 I do not see a statusbar selection. Instead
I see a statusStrip, and even though the Items collection has a property to
set the statusStrip labels to sunken, etched,... I can see these appearances
when I...

Although circular dependencies are something developers should normally
avoid, unfortunately they are very easy to create accidentally between
classes in a VS project (i.e. circular compile-time dependencies). But
then I started wondering how "easy" it would be to similarly make a
NON-RUNTIME circular dependency between (implicitly linked) DLLs.
Indeed authors like John Lakos, who focus on compile/link-time
dependencies (not run-time),...

I am presently a user of classic vb6 and hang out on those newsgroups. Some
of you may be aware that there is a very anti MS and vb2005 feeling there. I
have tried to get them to tell me which features of vb2005 are actually
worse then vb6 in practice, and forget the philosophy of backward
compatibility for a moment.
I would now like to hear "the other side". Could *anyone who previously used

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,...
