VB.NET 2005 Express creates bad setup file

4 New Member
Hello,

I have created an application that I am ready to deploy. When I publish it through VB.NET Express 2005 I get no build or publish errors, it says the publish was successful. When I run the setup.exe file that is created I get the following error: "WindowsApplica tion1 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."

The setup does place a shortcut in my programs menu, although it doesn't work. This seems to be a bug with the publisher, does anyone know how to resolve this?

try to use a global try catch block to catch the exception and pop it in a messageBox.
This could be an issue connecting to the database, but at the moment you should catch the exception and then evaluate what is going wrong

Hello all, Just wanted to get some clarification on something. I was setting out to create a login page for people to login and then be able to access certain aspects of the website. Instead of doing what I usually do which is store the username password in a db table then compare what the user enters from the text boxes to what's in the db, I thought I would try the login components from the toolbox.

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,...
