Hi, I want to install the DirectX 9c user package in quiet mode. Is there any option like /quiet /q /qb etc. None of these worked. Note: With this file DXSETUP.exe /q not the extractor file directx_9c_redist.exe /q ( this works fine.) ...
I have a project that relies on some libraries from the Visual Studio SDK. The installer created by Visual Studio added these libraries into thee installer project automatically. I am just wondering if it is legal for me to distribute them with my project or if I need to require the users to install the Visual Studio SDK separately. ...
Any idea if Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable package (x64) is supported on Windows 7 (64 bit) ? I was able to get to this page : http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=EB4EBE2D-33C0-4A47-9DD4-B9A6D7BD44DA&displaylang=en but the supported operating systems does not include Windows 7. Also the same question on 32 bit ...
I'm making a programming learning game for my senior project and I'm looking for a compiler that can compile a DLL that can then be dynamically loaded into a Visual Studio 2008 C++ application. The important idea here is that the compiler is redistributable. If VS was redistributable I'd be using that. So far I'm had some success using...
Hello, Our c# project requires two things on the target computer to run. The first is .net 2 or higher, which is a fair requirement for the users. The second is the c++ Redistributable. We need this because we use skincrafter. This is slightly more rare to find on a target computer. At the moment we deploy using visual studio and this c...
Dear developers, I have an application that requires Microsoft VC++ 2005 (SP1) Redistributable Package. I know that I can just download it and install it. The problem is, in our server, there is Microsoft VC++ 2008 (SP1) Redistributable Package already installed. Now, do I still need to install the 2005 (SP1) version? Or the 2008 (...
I'm bundling an application for distribution and SQL Server is a prequisite so we're including SQL Server Express. What's the easiest way to include SQL server in a point and click installer? In the past I've used NSIS, but it was always flaky when installing the .NET Framework, so .NET, SQL Server and our app seems like an impossible ta...
Hi, I am developing a software that uses 2 libraries. These 2 libraries both use VS2005 and both need VS2005 redist package. However, their redist package are in different version. So, I have several questions about installing the redists. 1) Can I just install the newer version without problem? 2) If I install these two redists, how W...
Does the .NET Compact Framework have a service pack? If so does anyone know where the redist download is? I found this: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=E3821449-3C6B-42F1-9FD9-0041345B3385&displaylang=en But it is just for 3.5. I think that is current, but I don't want to get burned by setting up older st...
I am planning to use py2exe to make an application developped with Python 2.6. It seems that my app need the VC redistribuables : http://www.py2exe.org/index.cgi/Tutorial#Step5 I've read this tutorial and the redistribuables license agreement and I am not sure if I can freely redistribute these files with my program. (I don't have VS20...
Hi there, Is there a specific version of .Net that I can target that is bundled with all versions of Windows of XP SP2 and higher? We are trying to create a simple setup stub without having to resort to a low-level C/C++ app... currently something is cooked up in VB6, but there's a fair amount of low-level network code that I would muc...
I thought that latest Matlab does this automatically. I have tested the following exe on a clean Win XP VM: namespace DotNetTest { using System.Windows.Forms; class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { MessageBox.Show("Howdy!"); } } } When I run it on a computer which has all...
I am developing a WPF based application using .NET 3.5 SP1, which required windows media player 11 to be installed on end user machine. For pain free installation I want that the setup should handle everything. Is there any redistributable package of WMP 11 is available? In other words, What is the best option to solve this problem? ...
Is it possible to configure the ClickOnce installation so that it requires .Net Framework and VSTO but includes only the VSTO binaries and downloads .Net Framework if necessary? Including the VSTO in the package isn't too much of a problem but the 350MB .Net Framework is something I'd do away with if possible. (Dynamics CRM SDK depends ...
Using Visual Studio, I have built an C++ application running in 32bit. It will be deployed both to 32-bit and 64-bit Windows servers. It won't be run in 64-bit mode (but rather under WoW). Should I include both the 32-bit and 64-bit Visual C++ redistributable, and install 32bit on 32bit Windows and 64bit on 64 bit Windows, or is it enou...
So I migrated from VS2008 to VS2010 with my clickonce application. I use to have the 2008 C++ redist as a prereq for my application. Upon moving to VS2010 that option no longer exists and the 2010 C++ redist will not do. I have successfully been able to re-add the 2008 redist into the Visual Studio 2010 prereqs list. My question is...
