Development & Deployment Questions

Hi...

I'm looking for some quidance on how to develop and deploy an application
that will be installed by the user(s) on a single PC.

Recognizing that the software could be used by different users having
different login account on the PC, I've developed the software tool so far
to pull values for each user from the current user registry hive. And if
the registry entries aren't setup for the user when new values are being
saved, the application will create the registry entries before saving the
values.

Is this the best way to do it, or am I better off having each user run the
installation process and setup the entries at deploy time and only read the
values from the registry. And if so, how should I handle software removal
of the .exe and other files which are currently stored in the program files
directory if more than one user has installed the software and are sharing
the program files? Do I need to check to see how many users have entries in
the registry on the PC before deleting the files/registry entries? Or
should I put these files in a different directory structure all together?

Hopefully this makes sense.

Thanks

Steve

I've just started using VB.NET, so the following two questions are probably going to seem ludicrous, but... 1). When some items are added to a project, how exactly are they used? For example, if a folder is added (or a text file), and then a deployment project created for that project, the folder (or file) does not appear to be included in the installation. It just seems to get left behind. I assume that these items have to be added...

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,...
