XCopy Deployment???

[Alan M Dunsmuir]

Having completed the development of a VB Windows Form application using
VB.NET 2003, I have attempted to install it on my back-up machine, which
I recently upgraded to WinXPPro SP2, but which has not had VS.NET
installed on it.

I did this by simply copying directly the entire packet of directories
associated with the application to the target machine.

When I attempt to launch the .exe file in either the Debug, the Release
or the bin folders, I get the same error message:

"The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). Click on OK
to terminate the application."

What is causing this?

What am I doing wrong?

How do I avoid this problem when installing the application on other
machines?

Hi,

You have to install the dotnet framework on the target machine.

Are you sure the .NET Framework is installed on that machine?

..NET Framework Version 1.1 Redistributable
<URL:http://msdn.microsoft. com/netframework/downloads/framework1_1red ist/>

You may want to install it as part of your application's setup:

I thought that the Framework was included as part of the OS with WinME,
WinXP and WinServer2003?

That you only needed to install it separately on Win98 and Win2k
machines?

See my reply to Ken. I thought that the Framework came as part of the
original Systems install with WinXPPro.

Does that mean that for Windows Forms applications I need to pre-install
the Framework on EVERY target machine where this hasn't already been
done explicitly?

Yes. There is no guarantee, even not on Windows XP machines, that the .NET
Framework is installed.

Re: XCopy Deployment???

Go to Control Panel - Add/Remove Programs and you will find Framework and the
installed version if it is in fact installed on your computers.

Thanks, everybody. I've checked, and indeed it is not installed yet on
my back-up machine.

Re: XCopy Deployment???

This application was developed under Framework 1.1, using VB.NET 2003.

Will it run on machines on which Framework 1.0 has been installed, or do
I need to install Framework 1.1 there as well?

Can 1.0 and 1.1 co-exist on the same machine?

What happens to applications running under Framework 1.0 if I install
Framework 1.1 on the machine?

Re: XCopy Deployment???


nope. I use a vmware instance with Win XP SP2 and nothing else as one
base for testing installations and on that the .net framework must
also be installed.
