[RESOLVED] Assembly log4net GAC error when user tries to install

I am developing a Windows desktop application and my users have begun installing and testing. It's a C#, .NET application installed via click-once. A few people so far have installed it with no issues, but user #4 or so received this error: "Unable to install or run the application. The application requires that assembly log4net Version 1.2.10.0 be installed in the GAC first." What does this mean? He was going to google so see what he could find but wasn't finding anything useful. I googled and I'm not sure which of the many solutions applies to his case. All my users are internal at the same company, so our hardware and what we have installed doesn't differ very much.

I'm sure I'm not providing the whole picture so tell me what else you need to know.

Thanks.

InstallShield LE - getting a registry value

I'm still doing a search/research into this, but here's the deal:
I'm upgrading an old utility. It was originally done in VS2008, VB.NET, FW2.0, 32 bit... I need to make it compatible with the latest version of one of our products, which is 64-bit and running FW4.51 minimum. OK, so there's two DLLs, and EXE and a setup in the project. VS2008 only supports up to FW3.5 ... not good enough, so I ran the solution through VS2015 and it upgraded the DLLs and EXE projects no problem and threw the setup back out at me and unconvertable. Fine. No problem, I have InstallShield LE that I used on another project, I can use that here, too right? Not so fast.

One of the quicks of the project is that it has to install into a specific folder of ANOTHER application. So it needs to go to the registry, get the install path of that application and use that as the root app folder when installing this utility. That's where I'm having a problem. I can see how to check for a registry value as a prerequisite, I can see how to create registry values during installation, but what I don't see is a way to look up a regvalue, store it and then use it later as the root install path.

So far my google-fu has returned results on how to check it, but nothing (yet) on how to store the value and re-use it later. If anyone knows how to do this, or simply point me in the right direction (my next stop is the flexera forums to see if there's something in there that might help) of if it is something that just isn't possible in ISLE, if they could let me know, that would be great.

When I download my program from SourceForge, my antivirus thinks it's a virus

Wasn't really sure where to ask this question. Hope here is ok. I have some software that's on SourceForge (and another site) and when I download the file to test the install, my antivirus program thinks it's a virus and deletes it. I'm using BitDefender now, but have also tried it with Avast and Malwarebytes with the same results (virus detected). I've also scanned my install program directory and BitDefender doesn't find any viruses.

However, if I run the install program from my computer without downloading it, no virus found?? The program is about as simple as you can get. It does one thing then exits. The solution is just a standard project solution with no additional references.

Has anyone come across this before?
thanks

How to publish updates?

I am using vb.net 2015, developing winform application.

I develop on astandalone pc at home. Then I install it at the client with multiple users. What I do now is after publishing on my computer I copy the publish folder and put it on the network and each users copies it onto their computer

I would like to be able to copy it to the network, and when the users stats the app it checks and updates itself from the shared folder on the server.

How would I go about doing this?

Thanks for reading.

invalid data source

When the setup installation created using P&DW there is no error with the data report
But i am getting the error " invalid data source" when the setup installation created using INNO at the line --

DataReport.Show vbModal, Me

Do i need to add the following dll in my INNO setup script

MSDBRPTR.DLL

Need installer advice

Hello;

I am working on getting an old vb6 app (developed on XP) with Visual Studio Enterprise v6 to be UAC compliant and run on Windows 10, 64 bit machines.

This vb6 application uses dBASE level 3 and 4 tables and accesses them using Sequiter Software's CodeBase v6.5.

Have played around with the P&E Wizard but am pretty sure it will copy older versions of .dll's onto the W10 machine(s). (I don't see any way to tell the P&E Wizard to not copy a dll if it's older than the one on the W10 machine.)

I have quite a bit of experience using INNO with Visual dBASE PLUS, but am not sure this is the best way to go.

Any advice, tips, and/or tricks would be greatly appreciated.

TIA.

How to publish including geckodriver

I have a vb2017 project, works fine.
I am trying to upload the project so that I can install on other computers, but each time I try to install on another computer, failure.

Anyone can put me correct on this?

ClickOnce .NET 4.0 Prerequisite

I have a program that works under XP just fine as long as the user has .NET 4.0 installed. I'd like to add that as a prerequisite in the ClickOnce installer. However, in the Prerequisites dialog in the Publish tab of my Project there's only .NET 3.5 and then .NET 4.5 available in the list. (No idea why 3.5 is there but not 4...)
How can I add .NET 4.0 to the list of selectable items in the prerequisite window?

[RESOLVED] How to install an exe on itself ?

Hi,
When I compile a new version of my software it is advisable to copy the .exe at the same place because the folder also contains own user files.
Of cause the software cannot copy the .exe to itself because it is in use.
I give a message saying a new release is available which also gives the path where the .exe should be downloaded.
But often the user downloads at another place and is not happy because he has lost his childs.

How can I download myself onto myself, or start another .exe which does the job ?
Thanks for your help.

Bad URL in the Error dialog for ClickOnce

So, there's some sort of error in the ClickOnce setup. (I haven't resolved it yet, but that's a separate problem)

Whenever there's some sort of problem where the ClickOnce setup on a user's machine fails, it brings up a dialog. In my case, the dialog looks like this:
Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.
Name:  ClickOnce App cannot start.JPG
Views: 30
Size:  23.0 KB


What is the URL in the Click here part of the dialog? If I click it, it goes to some malware site that loads my browsers with hundreds of tabs and I have start the browser in safe mode to get rid of them all. A very bad URL to have a user click on - most think they just downloaded a virus!
I have no idea what this actual link URL is but it's bad.

Is this URL set in my ClickOnce properties somewhere? Can I just get rid of the Click here link or change it to my support page?

In the Publish Options of my application, I have the Error URL as my homepage, so that doesn't seem to be the URL it's using.
