Producing a finished product

Hi everyone, I'm pretty new to the programming process. I've never done a complete program until now. How do I create an install file for my program, in order to distribute and install my program to multiple computers? Right now I'm just running it from the debug file... Thanks for your help Eric

You create a setup project for your application, usually by adding it to the solution your application is in. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/996a3fxs(VS.71).aspx[^]

Web : copy all the files to the server and create a virtual directory. windows : compile in release mode and install the exe in all the comp. I think you need to complete the program first before you can do all this :)

Thank you, I'll give it a try..

Just for a follow-up. I think it has worked for now. But I won't know until tomorrow. It didn't create an install file, but an application file. Hopefully this will be sufficient. Thanks again

So you would manually create a folder and copy all the files to 1000+ systems in your organization. :laugh::laugh::laugh: You would probably carry a floppy disk around to every system to do this right. :laugh::laugh::rolleyes::rolleyes::laugh::laugh: Would you make house calls to all of the people who bought your app. :laugh::laugh::laugh:

Great attitude mate, u sound like a complete MVP :) 1. The guy has not even completed a single app 1000 comp installation will be a bit less. 2. I think Bill Gates runs to his customers with a floppy disk in his hand (for may be Windows XP). -- modified at 1:57 Tuesday 19th June, 2007
