Thanks, that reference discusses how to handle it from the VS2005 XML editor by writing a custom configuration file. I just wanted to know how to fill in the blank in the exisiting launch condition property window of the deployment project in Visual Studio 2003 in Vb.Net. It was one of those...

Just to complete the story. After a week of struggling by trial and error I found the answer. Simply have 'both' dotNets on the development machine, then in the deployment projuct launch condition for dotNet set the property: Supported runtimes = 1.1.4322;2.0.50727 The simicolon was the key...

Of course you're right. I am simply trying to rig something that will install correctly when only .Net 2.0 is present because we have been careful to use only very basic features that do in fact work in .Net 2.0 and our software works fine it it. Just doesn't install. For example, we can...

Thanks for your help and comments. However, in Visual Studio 2003 using vb.net I find that it is impossible to change the runtime reference condition for the deployment project. It is seems to be a fixed launch condition set to 1.1.xxxx does not allow changes or even deletion. Is it possible...

I am really disappointed at the lack of compatibility for the .Net framework which seems to require both 1.1 and 2.0 to be installed together and then it 'might' work (see thread796-1184649 of Jan 21, 2006). This is clearly NOT what Microsoft promised companies like ours when persuading us to...

Our application is vb.net and built in Visual Strudio 2003 with a standard deployment package (just plain jane fill-in-the-blanks with no scripts or special add ins). With a few thousand users there isn't much trouble, but on a rare occasion the program icon does not show up on the Add/Remove...

I can determine which panel of a status bar was clicked by the index with the following code. Private Sub StatusBar1_PanelClick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.StatusBarPanelClickEventArgs) Handles StatusBar1.PanelClick Dim stbPanel As StatusBarPanel...

Is there a way to detect from code if a text box has the focus?

Although all print operations work well in Windows XP, the print preview (and page setup) dialogs crash in Win 98. Its a real system crash (with the fatal error dialog) that ignores all the error traps and leaves the machine locked up. This occures on all 3 of the Win 98 machines that I use...

Not much help. Those are old drivers and I have newer printers and drivers. Hearing back from some of my beta testers, just about every HP machine (laser and ink jet) give the wrong margins. Also Epson Stylus gives the wrong ones. So far no one has found any printer anywhere that works...

When printing to a physical printer (via print dialog or via print preview), the margins are 1/4 inch off in Potrait and 1/2 inch off in landscape. Print preview shows them as perfect. Also printing to pdf files is perfect and then printing from the pdf to the physical printer is perfect. I...

Here are discoveries we made relative to the instability of vb.net on windows 98 when using double precision arrays (see thread796-863966). 1) Calculations of the sort: A(i,j) = B(I,J)*C(j,k) + whatever... when all are declared as double will not store a double in A(i,j) if the right side...

This is the thread originator reporting back with what we discovered and our workaround. Out application creates the matrix from a dynamic model description. In Win 98, when the matrix is first created by detailed calculations, the first time a NaN value is stored in each double precision cell...

My application does precise mathematical calculations involving extracting roots with a QR algorithim. The test case is a difficult-to-extract matrix. The program works fine in both debug mode and in release mode when run under WinXP. Performance on Win 98 however is very odd. A debug...

I spoke too soon. Continued to search and found the answer in this forum in Nov 2003 (thread 796-701934)
