a) I fear there is not an easy way to do this. You can try to add the exe to the project as a biinary resource, then, at runtime, write it in a temporary folder and execute it using Process.Start.
b) In the File System Editor of your setup project, right-clicking on "File System on Target Machine", you can select Add Special Folder->System Folder.
c) Setup projects have a Registry Editor that can be used to write registry keys during setup.

a) It's not the same, but you are doing it the right way. I tought you wanted to embed an existing executable into yours.
b) Just add a directory called driver under the System one. If this directory exists, the setup will copy filed into it.
c) Well is not difficult: you add keys and value in a tree view just like you do for the file system.
In any case, there is a Code Project article on how to create setups.

Make sure in properties pallet for your Form ShowInTaskbar is set to true.

Wierd - it works for me. Search your project for ShowInTaskbar = false - it's possible that the setting in the designer file is being overridden elsewhere.

In solution explorer right click on project name and select its properties menu item. It will open the Project Properties page, on that page there will be resource tab available in left side click that tab and it will bring you the page to add resource to your project.

Images in Resources don't show

I use a NotifyIcon in the SystemArea.
notifyIcon1.Icon = Properties.Resources.Lamp_Black_Icon;
works.

I also use images resembling LED's on my form
picBox[i].Image = Properties.Resources.Lamp_Unavailable;
doesn't show an image.

For the NotifyIcon the image file is .ico. For the picBox, the file type is .png.
Both have Cust Tool Namespace set to the correct namespace. (Wouldn't compile if otherwise.)
Both are set to Build Acvtion Embedded Resource.
If I look in Project Properties Resources Images I can see the images.

The images used to display when I hade them loaded into an ImageList. (But that way I don't get them embedded in the exe file.)

What's wrong?

1. Add the image files to your project so that they show in the Solution Explorer.

2. Highlight each image file in turn, and in the Properties window, choose "Embedded Resource" for the "Build Action"

That ought to fix it.

Unfortuately, that is exactly what I did!!
Tried setting them all to Visible (just in case) as well.
Experimented and found that usinf a jpg file instead of png file works.
Looks like a bug. And I need png format because of tranparency.

If you are using SQL as a database, look into System.Data.SqlClient namespace. Or else, take a look into System.Data.OleDb namespace.
