ClickOnce?

[Ajb2528]

I am trying to create a Windows forms (VB.Net 2005 Beta2) install using clickonce. The application has many Crystal Reports files. When you publish the application, these files are not included. How do you include these files in the install?

On another note it needs the MDAC2.8 install but this does not seem to exist!

Am I missing something here?

Regards,

Alan

On your install package, you should be able to right click and add files. Then you can goto the file view (right click on the project, view, files <I think>), and set them up for what folder they should get sent to.

MDAC 2.8? Is that part of the .Net framework install? Maybe I'm having a brain fart, but the last standalone MDAC Version I remember seeing was 2.7.

ThatRickGuy,

Thanks for the reply...

The files are in the project window but I cannot see any way of including them using the publish component. If you view the projects properties and select 'Publish' you get all sorts of options - none of which allow you to add files to the application. There is a section called resources and I added the reports files to this section but they were still not included anywhere in the output from the Publish....

Regards,

Alan

I don't beleive you want to publish them, you want to include them in the distribution package. Do you have a project for the deployment?

Rick the clickonce thingie is all new to 2005 and I think it works just a little different or am I mistaken.
