    Application Deployment - please help!

    Hi

    I've developed an application in VB.NET and i am now
    trying to deploy this on a different machine.
    Following one books instructions i have done the
    following:
    Included a setup & deployment project into my solution.
    I checked for set up a Windows application and then to
    include:
    Primary output, localized resources and content files.
    Under User's programs menu i included a folder containing
    the exe file.
    When trying to build solution (properties set to release)
    i get a warning:
    WARNING: File 'ProduktBildeRa pportering.exe' should not
    be installed into a User's Profile folder because it may
    not be available to all users.

    and error:
    ERROR: 'oledb32.dll' should be excluded because its
    source file 'C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\Ol e
    DB\oledb32.dll' is under Windows System File Protection.

    The build does give a .msi file but it is only 1.5 mb and
    trying to install the app on a machine without (even
    with) vb runtime result in an application that does not
    want to start....just throws a lot of errors.
    Looking at the output of the build it hardly packs any
    dll files at all....only a few related to crystal reports.

    Does anyone know what why it does not work or how i
    should create a deployment program?

    Thanks!
Working...
