    Installing published application fails

    Hi everybody,

    [I'm using VS 2005]

    I tried to publich my application to a simple file location. (no online
    publishing or anything like that.)

    Running the setup that VS generates for me works fine on my machine but when
    I try to copy the generated setup files to another machine and start it, it
    gives me this error:

    "System Update Required"
    Unable to install or run the application. The application requires that
    assembly Microsoft.Visua lBasic Version 2.0.0.1 be installed in the Global
    Assembly Cache (GAC) first.

    Is there any way to have the setup know what kinds of system updates are
    required for the current machine and update it automatically? I have no clue
    how to install this VB Version without having to install the whole VS, SDK
    and what else ... The customer should simply have an executable setup he
    double-clicks and that works ...

    Help is very much appriciated,
    Thanx, Joe

      Hi Joe,

      AFAIK, the assembly version of Microsoft.Visua lBasic is 8.0.0.0 and the file
      version is 8.0.50727.42, so I am not sure why it is requiring 2.0.0.1.

      Is the .NET Framework 2.0 (not the SDK or VS, just the .NET Framework
      redistributable ) installed on the target machine? See:

          Hi,

          thank for the fast reply!

          I installed the framework from the given link. I still get the same error
          code.

          It is an XP Professional 2002 Service Pack 2 machine with automatic updates
          enabled...

          Any more ideas?
          Thank you again,
          Josef

              Hi again,

              even after installing VS 2005 on the target machine the setup fails to run
              with the same error message. And there it comes: even when starting the
              project within the VS 2005 environment it has the same error code.

              Maybe I'm doing something wrong with configuration when publishing the
              application. Since everything is "new" in VS 2005 and I could not find a
              detailed description of how to correctly publish an application (for example
              when I add some xml files as resources to the application it won't give me
              the choice to include these files into the setup program) maybe it would
              work just fine if I'd get all configurations done just wright.

              Hopefully someone can "guide" me to the solution,

              Kurt

                  Re: Installing published application fails

                  I found the solution:

                  I uninstalled the LINQ Tech Preview software package that I just installed a
                  couple of days ago, rebuild the project, published it and installed it
                  successfully... lucky me!

                  BTW: Why is the generated setup installing the software in such a crazy
                  directory (c:documents and settings/user/local
                  .../Apps/v2.0/lkjafdölkjsafd/...

                  ??

                      Hi Josef,

                      I am glad that you have found the solution.
                      Also this directory is a user specific ones, so the application will not
                      confused with another ones.
                      This is how Smart Client doing. That way another smart client will not have
                      the confliction.

                      Commonly we did not need to care where smart client deploy its application.
                      Because the smart client will check for update when it is lauched.

                      Best regards,
