simple deployment question

[Guest]

Hi,

I've created a small program using vb.net (an exe). I created another
project to install this program on another machine (XP). This install program
directs them to the msdn website to download files.

How can make my install program install all files needed? My understanding
is that this was the default behaviour of the setup project wizard.

I'm not sure if this info is needed to answer my question but I'll include
it :

under the project 'setup_MyProgram','primary output from MyProgram' has
these dependencies :
ms.vb 7.0.5000.0
mscorlib 1.0.5000.0
system 1.0.5000.0
system.data 1.0.5000.0
system.drawing 1.0.5000.0
system.win.form 1.0.5000.0
system.xml 1.0.5000.0

under the project 'setup_MyProgram', detected dependencies
dotnetfxredist_x86.msm

'setup_MyProgram','primary output from MyProgram' has 'exclude' set to false

I tried to set 'exclude' to false on 'setup_MyProgram', detected dependencies
dotnetfxredist_x86.msm , but it gave an error when I tried to build it.


Thanks,
Guy

Guy,


Normally it should add all your dependencies in one time.

Be aware that as result VS2002 is different from VS2003

I hope this helps,
