Hi All,
I have few questions about deploying windows apps developed in .Net
framework. These days it is all about internet apps and services, and
I need to develop small windows app and deployed it on a machine with
no internet access, no database installed and no .Net framework
either. This small Widows app includes presentation layer, business
logic and data access layer.
1) Because client machines, where app will be running, doesn't have
any database and I don't want to install new one (in order to save
space), could XML files be a solution for storing and retrieving
information needed and created by the app? Are there other options?
2) In order for app to run, I'll need to install .Net framework on
client machines. Because there is no internet connection on client
machine, can framework be distributed on same CD as the app and be
installed seamlessly for the user (behind the scene with less
interaction as possible)? How can app installer install framework, if
in order to run installer, framework should be installed? How this
circle can be broken?
3) In future more class libraries will be developed. How can I design
app now, in order to simplify plug-in of the assemblies in future?
I understand that each question is a discussion on its own and just
need some point of reference at this moment to start my search for the
best solution of all these issues.
Thank you for any advice in advance,
EB

EB,
Xml could work depending on the scenario.
If you add an Installer project, you can bundle the framework install with
it. The app installer itself is not .NET. It is an MSI with a
bootstrapper.
Hope this helps,
Steve

Hi
I am deploying a winforms app via the windows installer and a VS.Net 2003

At the moment, I am adding launch conditions for the .Net Framework 1.1 and
MDAC 2.7 or higher, and am prompting the user to run the relevant setup
files if they're missing. I'm including these setup files on the CD.
I can't work out from the Data Access downloads page, which MDAC file I need

Hi All,
The company I work for has traditionally used COM/ActiveX for the
solutions that it provides. We are in the process of moving to .NET and
a few applications have been written in VB.NET up to this point.
Some of the applications are class libraries which need to be callable
via the COM interface from some of the older applications. Could
someone please explain to me the issues involved in deploying such a
class library?

I've developed a Commerce Server application and am having deployment
problems. The issue is not Commerce Server specific, so I'll ask here,
since questions get answered here.
The application is developed on a remote machine. My compiler runs locally,
but the source files and destination is on the remote machine. The remote
machine is running Framework 1.0.3705.
This morning I PUP'd the Commerce Server site and deployed it...

A quick scan of the group did not immediately reveal an answer to my
questions so here goes.
First let me describe my app and then I'll ask the questions.
I am writing a Windows Forms App (not Web Forms) that serves as a thin
client to some web services. In other words, the Windows Forms app will be
installed on the client machines and that app will call web services that
are deployed on my server.

We have a native Windows DLL (let's call it native.dll) we developed a .NET

..NET interface to talk to the Windows DLL we always thought that managed.dll
must be copied to the application directory (where the .NET application
runs) and that native.dll can be anywhere as long it is in PATH or is
somehow else found by Windows.
