vb2005 - how to create setup/deploy -- no wizard -- VS2005 Pro?

Hello,

I have Visual Studio 2005 Professional. I have been deploying VB2005 apps
using "Click Once" which works great and will add .Net 2.0 framework where
needed and adds all prerequisite files, the Report viewer for printing, com
references, ... Everything works great! on our intranet.

But now I need to add an app to a machine (XP pro) that is not on our
intranet. So I need to create a setup/deploy project. My VS2005 does not
have a wizard when I select Setup/Deploy project :(. I don't normally use
wizards, but the searches I have done for this all suggest "use the wizard".
Is there an explanation somewhere how to create a setup project and include
all the required files/references/icons... manually for VB2005 projects?

Thanks,
Rich

mysteriously, the setup wizard finally showed up in the right pane of the New
Projects dialog box. It was not there before...hmmm.

You can deploy ClickOnce to a folder, copy it to a CD, and use that to
install on the user's machine. If they don't have intranet access, you will
want to turn off the updates feature.

Like the title says, my installation of VC# 2005 Beta 2 doesn't seem to have a Setup kind of project available. Actually, except for the Screensaver Starter Kit, it has only four types: Windows app., Console app., Library and Empty project. I have the .Net Framework SDK 2.0 installed (of course, also the Framework) but no use. I was used to this handy kind of project since VS 2003 but now I have to resort to 3rd party software to deploy...

Hi I've developed an application in VB.NET. I'm now trying to deploy it to another computer which has XP pro and .NET Framework 1.1 installed.

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,...
