about the publish wizard

[mikalush]

hi,
i have a small application in vb.net with access mdb.
i want to make exe file that will have the mdb file in it.
i try the publish wizard, but i didn't find a way how to make him
copy the mdb file to the exe files
( i want that when the user first run the startup file it will copy the
mdb file to his computer
to the root i choose, so it will work fine with the application)

hope somebody can help,,

Mikalush,

You can use the deployment and setup project for that, be aware that you
should in future set not the mdb file in the only for the administrator
available program files folders.

You should not place any files on the computer in the root "you" choose.
It should be the install folder or in the user's folder if it needs to
be per user.
