Hi Dave, I tried exactly as you had instructed and saw the the icon file as added to my project. However, after building the solution and running the setup on my Win 2000 machine, I'm seeing the Paper icon instead (looks like the default). Is there another step or setting to go through? Vi

Hello, I just finished a small application from VB.NET and tried to install onto my PCs as a test. The install worked fine on my Win 2000 PC and the program launches fine. However, when launching the application from my Win 98 machine, I am getting the error that the _294823.exe is not a valid Win32 application. Firstly, I'm not sure why it's being refered to as _294823.exe. My application name is Timer Utility.exe. When installing, I got the error that I didn't have the .NET Framework, of which I've gone and installed after this error and before installing my application. Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks so much! Vi

Hello, Never mind my question. I was being an idiot. The Settings is only activated for the Web Bootstrapping option. Thanks! Vi

Hello, I am using the standard VB.NET and when viewing the Property Pages of my build application (Project / Properties), the Settings button for the Bootstrapper option is grayed out. I do have the option of choosing None, Windows Installer Bootstrapper, and Web Bootstrapper. Is this because I don't have the professional edition? Vi

When building a setup program, is it better to set conditional statements such as having the setup program install certain components needed in order to run the application. For example, if deploying an application, would it make more sense to have the setup program search the user's computer for required components such as the .NET framework. If the setup program does not detect this, it would automatically install on the user's PC. Also, what is the standard practice in software development and whether there is a downside to doing this? Or is it best to let the user install the missing components on their own? Vi

Thanks so much Dave. Your instructions were extremely clear. I found it right away. Vi

Hello , I'm using VB.NET 7.0 and would like to apply a customized icon to a small application. I was able to apply the icon to the main form, however, I would like to apply it to the application when the user installs it on their computer. Currently, the user sees the default white window when viewing from Windows Explorer. Could someone please direct me to the proper area for this? Thanks so much! Vi

Excellent! Thank you so much Mike for taking the time to post this. I will most definitely do some digging. :)

Hi Mike, I forgot to mention that I'm using VB.net . I'm a new user and have just gone through my first book Visual Basic.Net Step by Step. I'm trying to create a utility for use at work and have no idea where to begin. Any ideas / help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much! Vi

Hello, Is there a way to create an entire Access database (I know what tables and the relationships needed between the tables) using VB code? For instance, if a user clicked on a "Create Plan" icon, the following database would be created in the back end: Database: Census Tables: Client Plan Employees Contacts If you know of references you could direct me to in order to learn more about this, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much! Vi

Hello, I'm running a Windows 2000 Pro machine (30 GB hard drive, P4, 1800 MHZ, 130,128 KB RAM (I'm not sure what that equates to)). My computer is slow after VB.NET is loaded. Can anyone tell me why this is or how I can fix this? Thanks much! Vi

Thanks so much for your response, Dave. I found out that the IIS was not even installed on this computer. I installed it and I'm up and running again. Yay! Vi

Does anyone know how to create an icon out of a custom logo? Thanks much! Vi
