Problem in publishing a solution in Visual Studio 2008

Question

I have a solution with 2 projects and I want to publish this application. Publish is successful, but when I try to install I get a problem. It says that it can't find a txt file I'm using. In my application, I use 2 other txt files, as well, and it doesn't show a problem regarding those 2 txt files. The error is shown below. Does anyone know what the problem might be? Thank you in advance!

See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

Have you include your txt files in the setup solution?

Dimitrios Zlitidis 26-May-11 22:07pm

Dimitrios Zlitidis 27-May-11 8:27am

Well, I am assuming that you are using Visual Studio Set Up application. So here are the steps how to include additional files and folder in you set up package.

How to create a Setup package by using Visual Studio .NET[^]

[EDITED]
In addition to this, you have to make sure that how your application reads the file. When you implement your application, is it supposed to read from common files folder, shared folder , current user folder... Even operating system has impact for such case.

Good luck.

I tried it. I included the three txt files I'm using. The installation is successful. When I try to run the application at the time it uses the txt files, it pops a message saying that the access to the txt file is denied. I go manually and change the permissions and give write permissions. Then it runs properly. Is there a way I can give permissions, so I don't have to give permissions manually after its installation? Thank you very much for your reply! :-)

Good. This is permission issue. Your application doesn't have the right permission to access your files.
1. Try to run your app. as an Administrative privilege. Take a look at the following wiki.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Account_Control#Requesting%5Felevation
2. If you are installing in Vista or Window 7.You might need to disable UAC.

Great! I disabled UAC and now it works just fine... Thank you very much!
