Deployment Resources

[BGCSOCAL]

I have a concole application that I wrote in VS 2005 in VB. I is a console
applicaiton that will only run on one server. I did a build and then used the
publish application wizard, but nothing works.

Is there a way to do an old fashioned setup that loads whatever libraries
that I need? I tried copying the application but it needs ADODB and I have no
idea where to find it to load it. I did load MDAC and net framework, but
neither of those had it.

I looked at MSN but the articles were not very clear and I admit I am no
developer. Can someone suggest a resource that clearly tells you what to do?
Or if there isn't oone, give me the word to search help on and I'll figure it
out -- probably

Thanks
B

Hello BGCSOCAL,

If you have the professional version of VS, then you are able to create
a setup project which can include all the required files.

With the Express version you might want to check some Setup utilities
for that purpose.

Best regards,

Martin

ADODB is ADO, which will not be packaged by the standard set up project. It
is COM, not .NET. I think he wuld have to bootstrap the installer if he
were to go with a setup project.

peace and grace,

Why are you using ADODB?

ADODB is ADO, not ADO.NET, so it is not installed with .NET. The MDAC
should install it, if you have the right version of MDAC. I am not sure
what you installed against, so I cannot answer which version you need to
install. In COM, the versions are much more important than in .NET.

If you have the code and can use ADO.NET where the ADO code is, you can
drag and drop install the Console application ... most likely (90%+
surety).

Peace and Grace,
