Visual Basic .net

[VoodooWizard]

Ok just curious how many VB users use VB.net yet? and if you do, do you know where I can find a package and deployment wizard so I can distribute my programs? right now I cant unless they got the .net framework on there computer and it sucks cause not everybody does.

vs .net comes with a «packager»

yeah, but the framework in still required to run.

but you can include the framework in the package ( i think):rolleyes:

i think so as well....at least that would make sense. I have never played with the "packager"

of course it will be a huge setup:(

BsCis99: I believe you have to start by adding a Setup Project to your solution: File >> Add Project >> New Project, then choose Setup and Deployment Projects, and then Setup Wizard. After completing the wizard, you should see the new project in the Solution Explorer. Llook in that project's Detected Dependencies folder and the .NET Framework redistributable should be there. By default, it is NOT included even though it appears (since including it vastly bloats your deployment). Right click the file and clear the check mark.
