Deploying express apps

I am a long time VB 6 developer and am using VB.NET 2005 Express. I have
written a small app that I want to deploy to another machine. I can't find
any documentation that relates to the express version about how to do this.
There isn't a deployment wizard or a publishing wizard that I can find.
Help!

AFAIK, there is no deployment support integrated in the Express editions.
Express editions are not dedicated to professional developers, so
theoretically there is no big need for deployment projects in these
editions.

Presumably I need to get the VS.NET 2005 beta to do this then.

Herfried,

An unexpected good answer (more than a coding problem) from you.

Compliments

From what I know the Standard edition will include Setup templates, but no
wizard. Professional edition (and "better") will include a Setup wizard
too.

I have solved it. It was a very simple application with only one external
dll reference. I created an application directory and installed the .exe and
the dll to it. Then I installed the .NET framework v2 beta after which the
application ran as intended. A great relief and a nice surprise. I'm getting
to like this dotnet thang.

Can anyone tell me the catch in VB.NET 2005. I've been trying to figure it out from the marketing gobbledegook. The biggest catch i can find is the reference to one click deployment (as meaningless a phrase as i can think of). does that mean i can't create a regular setup deployment? rules it, and the expense of an upgrade right out if that's the case.

Hi, I'm wondering how I deploy a database with an application. I know that I can require SQLServer Express to be installed, using the ClickOnce deployment system, but I also need to know how I can include the database files and have them installed into SQLServer Express as a part of the installation process. I'm running VBExpress, SQLServer Express (but I also have access to SQL Server 2000, full version). thanks.

I have a "newbie" deployment question. I want to confirm what's involved in deploying a web created with Visual Web Developer Express Edition to a production Server2003/IIS 6 server. The project to be deployed has a typical membership database created through the administrative interface ("App_Data/ASPNETDB.MDF"). For that dB to work on the webserver, does SQL Server Express Ed. have to be installed on the webserver as well?

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,...
