I will get that book. Thanks for the help!!! I still want to use VB.net to automate software installs....

Thank you so much. Can you tell me how to tell if a certain window is up, so I can send the keystrokes to that particular window?? Thanks again.

Do you mean the search in the VB.net help library, or where should I search. thanks much

Here at work, we are trying to automate software installations. We presently use Winbatch, but I want to use Visual Basic.net. I just took my first course in VB.net and I really like it. Can someone help me figure out how to send key strokes or send messages to screens that have input focus? This would enable me to automate some software installs that we received from vendors. Then we would not have to install them one at a time by hand. thanks in advance for your help.

May I have some help with this process? I am trying to do the same thing here at work. I need to automate many software installations, but we have been using Winbatch, and I want to use Visual Basic instead. I know Visual Basic can handle it. I am encouraged by your comments. Can I see your sample code? Please help. thanks much

How can I redistribute the framework with the exe I am creating? I want to install the framework right before I run my exe. Thanks.

wow you are a genius. you are the only person who could figure this out. i have asked about 10 people about this, even the professor. it works great now. thank you so much.

Hi, I am taking a Visual Basic.Net class and we have to build a webform. I can build the form in Visual Studio and I can see the web controls, but as soon as I try to view it in a browser, I can't see the web controls. I can only see the text, but no buttons or text boxes. The file has an aspx extension. Any ideas?? I am running Windows 2000 Professional as my OS. I installed IIS first and then installed Visual Studio. I have an inetpub folder and a wwwroot folder that is shared. Thanks for your help!!!
