I don't think your Visual Studio has a problem.
Frankly, I never used the packaging and deployment system that comes with Visual Studio.
For years of developing and deploying applications, I use IndigoRose Setup Factory.

Developing an app is a major headache, deployment shouldn't be that bad too.
My recommendation, get rid of the package and deployment system that comes with
Visual Studio and invest on a more mature deployment system.

I think the pros would agree with me on this one?

Thanks to both for replying. Actually I have installed VS on another system thinking that it was due to OS conflict, its winXP without service pack and off 2000, which shouldn’t be after I make the setup. connection was don tru DNS. Anyway like you have rightly put it, “Developing an app is a major headache, deployment shouldn't be that bad too”. I am going to use IndigoRose Setup Factory ; I just hope its not complicated to use, but I am sure it will be worth it. Thanks a lot to you TheCrow.

Many thanks again.
Regards!

Re: Setup Error... Please Help! cannot locate .MDB file

The software is finally installed and working fine. And how stupid of me!! The message Path to mdb file not found was given because it seems I didn’t create DSN on the computer I am installing the software I created. So after creating the DSN, it worked!
But was that necessary?? I mean do we have to create the DSN on every machine we install the S/w? Is there any way that can address this problem through a code?
Ofcourse ADO/DAO etc are there but apart from this, is there any way?

And I thank each one for your help, suggestion and time. You guys are just so helpful all the time.

Regards.
