Deployment Issue

[Guest herewegoagain]

At long last I finally begin to build a app for distribution for my coworkers. However during the setup wizard it states it is unable to remove the temp file from the release folder. Does anyone have any ideas on what to do about this? I have tried it several times and tried deleting the temp file with no sucess......

More information on this problem. Any help is greatly apprecaited!Went to go build my app built in vb.net. I used the visual studio.net

enterprise edition Setup Wizard for a windows app. I amn running Win XP Pro.

It continually bombs out

as it says:

 

Unrecoverable Build Error

 

Nothing Else.

Then I try to rebuild it it says:

 

Cannot remove output file

C:\folderlocation\myname\Desktop\programname\programnamesetup\Release\progra

mnameSetup.tmp

 

I clicked on help and here is where it gets weird. The one that applied to

me here was:

 

a.. If the Output file name specifies a root directory or a special folder,

make sure that the file is not marked read-only.

 

Mine was. So I changed it to not be readonly by unchecking the box. I also

went to online help where it told me to make sure adepquate permissions were

set up for the visual studio to access my program to write this file. Then I

rebooted. When it came back, that folder (the app was in) was again marked

read only. I changed it back to what it should be but the same process

repeated itself(the errors.) I am at wits end and would appreciate any help

anyone might be able to give.I am kind of under a deadline on this.

My references are: adodb, excel, Microsoft.Office.Core, System, System.Data,

System.Drawing, System.Web.Services, System.Windows.Forms, System.XML,

VBIDE. I am sorry for being wordy but am very worried

right now I am not going to be able to pull this off.

Is programnameSetup.tmp a file, or directory? What happens if

you just delete it from Explorer?

Hi thinker thanks for responding. THis file appears ot be created by visual studio during the build process. It then is attempting to remove the file and it says it cannot.

It would be located in the C:\Documents and Settings\Kelly Martens.KELLY\Desktop\progrgramname\ProgramName Setup\Release\setupname.tmp

If you or anyone else have remote assistance that can help please let me know.....

I tried deleting it by the way and unless I close the solution it says another program or process is using it which I assume to be VS. Then I close it down, delete the file and do it again with the same errors.

The file does not exist at the beginning of the creation of the setup. It is created by VS during the process.

problem was fixed by reinstalling. Just in case someone else runs into this issue.

Glad you got it fixed. :)
