I have an application that I'm deploying via the Publish Wizard from Visual Studio 2008. I've added some code to my application that adds a few registry keys. I'd like to execute some code during the uninstall process to remove these registry keys.
View 1 RepliesA few years ago, I built a desktop application for a client in VS 2005 that was deployed using Click Once. Recently, the client asked me to make a simple modification to the site.
I no longer had VS 2005 (or the same machine for that matter) and was forced to upgrade the application to Visual Studio 2008.
Most of the application is fine in VS 2008 - however I am unable to Publish the application. During the project conversion process and whenever I try to publish the application, I receive a message like this:
"This project includes a password-encrypted key used for signing. Enter the password for the key file to import the key file into the local crypto-store database for use."
Unfortunately, I don't have any idea what the password would be for this application.What options do I have? Is there a way to get this working again without having to rebuild the application or have all of the users uninstall the application and reinstall it?
I'm about to upgrade to Visual Studio 2010, and I'm learning that there are now a few options for deploying web application projects. I've been using Web Deployment Projects in 2008, and my initial thought was to do the same in 2010.
Is there any advantage to using Publish or the Web Deployment Tool over Web Deployment Projects?
I need to automate the process so that the build and the deployment can be run from TeamCity. I'd prefer a method that would allow me to use the Visual Studio (sln) Runner but a custom MSBuild script would be OK too. See Web Application Deployment Workflow with SVN and TeamCity for more information on my current build/deployment workflow.
Why I don't have publish or add a deployment project in my visual studio express 2008?
View 7 RepliesI'm looking for a way to providing users (administrators) of a web application to automatically (meaning it's opt-in to update, but the installation should be automatic when started) update said web application when new versions are released.
The reason why I want an automatic approach is that I want the users to be able to update the web application while it's running remotely, without having to gain physical access to the machine (including RDP).
I could of course write my own code for this, but I would prefer to use something like ClickOnce that has been around for a while. Is it possible to use ClickOnce for this?
Or is there an alternative for ASP.NET applications that I have not been able to find?
It is important that it's the user that does the update and not me, so I don't think WebDeployment is the way to go, but I'm willing to listen to scenarios where this would work.
The users are not system administrators, so I want this to be as fool proof as possible.
I'm using Visual Studio 2010, ASP.NET 2.0 (.NET 3.5). If a solution requires switching to version 4, this is possible, but not preferred.
I tried to install Visual Studio Prof 2010 trail version in my system, but i got an error saying 'Please remove/uninstall Visual Studio 2010 load test controller' to proceed installation. i uninstalled my previous VS2008 software from system and i could not find anything like 'Remove/Uninstall Visual Studio 2010 load test controller' software in my Add/Remove Programs.

View 2 RepliesWhile attempting to download Visual Web Developer 2010 Express I received an error message stating that I needed to uninstall the Beta 2 issue. However I have not been able to uninstall it.
View 2 RepliesI cannot install the proper Visual Studio 2010 because I have the Visual Studio RC isntalled and I cannot uninstall the Visual Studio RC because it crasches. I think my last option is to download the Visual Studio RC install files again and repair that installation and then uninstall it to later install the release version of Visual Studio 2010. Does any one know where I can find the Visual Studio RC install files again?
View 1 RepliesCan I create an incremental deployment package using either Visual Studio 2010 Web Deployment Projects or Web Deploy (Web Deployment Tool) .

I installed Visual Web Developer 2010 on a machine that already had SQL Server 2008 Professional on it. Now that machine is running both SQL 2008 Professional and SQL 2008 Express instances.
Is there an easy way to uninstall the Express instance?
I recently "inadvertantly" installed VWD 2010. I still have my Visual Studio 2008 (full version) installed and want to remove VWD 2010. I want to recompile my active projects under VS 2008. Here are the steps I am planning to undertake. Am I missing anything?
1. Save all active projects 2. Remove VWD 2010 using "Uninstall Programs" from the control panel.3. remove ASP 4.0 via the same route.4. Reinstall VS 2008 5. Reinstall all service packs.Will this bring me back to a fully functional VS 2008? Need I make any additional registry changes?For the record, I do like VWD 2010 and would like to upgrade to the professional version but I cannot afford to do so at this time. I need to build some console applications and this is not possible under VWD. I am also unable to install C# Express.
I installed VS 2005 on my machine few months back and I worked with it. And now(its been 4 or 5 months I opened it last time) I saw that all the file options are missing and I'm unable to select any options( file->open ->website or web application) to open. so I uninstalled the VS 2005 from my machine and now tring to reinstall it. But I'm getting the following error.Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 SetupThe Windows Installer package:c:documents and settingsDesktopvs_setup.msicould not be opened.Choose Retry to try again. Choose Cancel for exit setup.Retry Cancel Mine is 32-bit XP machine.
View 7 RepliesI just recently upgrade my asp.net web project from visual studio 2005 to visual studio 2010. The upgrade was successful with no problems however im missing some features with this project. The One Click Publish feature(which is greyed out) in the header area of Visual Studio 2010 and the Add Config Transforms feature which is no where to be seen when you right click on web.config. When i create a new web project straight from visual studio 2010, these options work fine.
View 1 RepliesI have installed SQL Server 2008 express, reinstall it with advanced services, uninstall TFS 2010 and tries to reinstall it but fails. It doesn't want to completely uninstall.
So I'd like to clean everything by hand (deleting registries, folders) but can't find any info. I have deleted install directory but installer still memorized that TFS is installed.
I had Visual studio 2008 Team system installed on my machine and tried to uninstall that . When I did the uninstall, am getting a wierd error message "A problem has been encountered while loading the set up components .Cancelling set up".

View 2 RepliesI installed a VS2010 Trial and have since downloaded a copy from the company MSDN account. I uninstalled everything that said VS2010 in the Programs area and am now attempting to reinstall the MSDN copy. It does not work. The install ends up through all kinds of errors and ends with an unsuccessful install message.
What do I have to do to completely clean off the old versio, or may the new one overwrite everything?
I'm trying to publish my ASP.NET web application in Visual Studio 2010. I'm then trying to install it as a website on a server using IIS. I've gotten my application to publish (to a .zip file) but it points to the physical directory on my hard drive. This obviously will not work on the server.

View 2 RepliesWhen using Visual Web Developer Express there seems to be an issue when trying to insert a DDL into the Wizard. If I create a Wizard, and then insert a DDL inside the wizard, the source shows, correctly,
...
<asp:WizardStep runat="server" title="Step 1"> <asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList1" runat="server"> </asp:DropDownList> </asp:WizardStep>
...
However, if I return to the Design view and use the Smart Tasks button to 'Edit Items', although I can complete the relevant details in the 'ListItem Collection Editor' they are not transferred to the source. If I use exactly the same procedure on a DDL outside the Wizard everything functions correctly.
