On a (very) old computer of mine, I have a folder : "C:\Users%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Geckofx"
I need this folder to use another workaround I use.
I now have a new computer, and I need that geckofx folder so I can use that other workaround again, but I cannot find out how this folder is generated.
Any ideas ?
Thanks a lot !
Installed, firefow, visual C redistributables, visual studio, msxml,java,...

ok so i made a couple of projects in VB2010 and i want to finally make them a standalone executable , as i'm still a beginner in VB ! i don't know if getting the .exe file only from "bin/debug" or i should really publish it then need the applications folder and the setup [because it's gonna be a lot better if i don't have to do the second one], anyways i tried to get the exe file then move the project folder to another drive , and it work , i know that to run the exe in other computer i'll need framework , [as far as i know my resource files are embedded into the exe] but if i need framework only , i guess runing it on computers that doesn't have it will ask them to download it ! i don't mind that , or that option comes with publish ,and i also really need the manifest file to run it normally ,
I actually don't know much about this so can you pleas tell me what i exactly need so my .exe files can run on other computers
sorry for taking some of your time , and thank you for reading this :D
Set your Solution Configurations to Release, build a solution (Ctrl+Shift+B) then navigate to your bin/Release folder and there you will find your exe file ready to be shipped. You can ship that exe as is, or you can wrapp it up in an installer application. If your application has some dependencies then shipping the exe file will not be enough.
You can change your target framework by goin' to Project/Properties.
Find the .exe in \\Your app\bin\debug\your app.exe
What you can do,open the project as if going to edit it, just go to "Project" then "Publish(Whatever-your-work's-name-is).vb at the bottom. Then use the wizard to finish. At the end, say you saved your exe on the desktop, three files will appear.
"Whatever-your-work's-name-is".exe And its icon shape varies.
A folder called "Application Files"
And a "setup.exe" Its icon a like a CD on something.
For the first time, click on setup.exe and open the app. From then on, the "Whatever-your-work's-name-is".exe will open normally. I have a website where I publish these things for fun, "tgamer.myfreesites.net", and downloading will only download all three in a zipped folder. The website is not awesome, but it's alright.
The thing is, the setup.exe and application files can be in a zipped file. You only the actual exe from the second opening and onward. This option makes it downloadable, like what I want. For you, choose the best for you, but remember downloading only the exe will not work.
I have created an Office addin and windows installer application for it.
According to this article, addins dll'a are copied to directory like this C:\Users\Robin\AppData\Local\assembly\dl3\VBJZ5WH8.6NJ\HRZA3JXN.LVG\b0520efe\3a5b99ef_2e21cb01\GoldMail Outlook Add-In.DLL. I wish to remove those copied files during the uninstall process. Could sb please tell me how to get the full path to those copied files in C:\Users\Robin\AppData\Local\assembly\dl3\ in my installer application (actually in uninstall)? Is it saved in registry or in any other location? I have noticed, it even happens, the files are copied multiple times. Any help would be appreciated, greetings.
Glad to see this site, Thanks guys for being active. :)
I have a problem in Visual Studio 2010/VB.Net
I have windows form in Visual Basic, I deployed the software(form) to one installer
Now I want to open My PDF file( i-e: Specific) with Button_Click_Event
I know that:
Process.Start("MyPDF.pdf")
But I dont know if user install my software in his PC so may be he install the software in C D or other directory, and also I dont know How to include PDF file in my project :)
Please suggest for me, I am searching this every where but failed so pl help me
Use Add->Existing Item on your Project. Then add the PDF File to your Project.
Afterwards you have to set the Properties of the newly added file to the following:
Now the file will be added to your "Output" Directory after you build your Project.
Now use your Process.Start("MyPDF.pdf") call. It will open up, as it resides in the same directory.
This is rather easy:
Simply include the file by dragging it to your project folder and in its options, tell it to copy to the build directory.
Thereafter, find the path through the my.application methods.
Build a correct path from that and launch it via process.start
Visual Studio 2012's Solution Explorer can be configured to display the actual files on disk (rather than just project files) simply by toggling the Show All Files button. Each project will display the files and folders located in the same folder as the project file itself.
Is there any way to change the root directory of what is displayed?
My cross-platform project is organized like this:
project/ide/vs2012/project.sln
project/ide/vs2012/project.vcxproj
project/src/*
I want Solution Explorer to show the files in my src directory, not my vs2012 directory.
I created a symbolic link under the vs2012 directory to point at my source code:
MKLINK /D src ..\src
Now Visual Studio sees the src folder underneath the project.
I think, if I understand correctly, you should open up the .sln file at the project's root in a notepad application and you'll find what you're looking for in there.
I am using Scott Mitchell's textBox Characters and Words counter control, i downloaded it from the website https://web.archive.org/web/20211020202742/https://www.4guysfromrolla.com/ and unzipped it to my desktop. then in VWD Express 2008, i created a new tab in the Toolbox, i chose the *.dll from the unzipped folder, i used the control, all is fine (try it, i recommend it) but when i backed up my code, copied the site, and tried to run it on another computer, i got a bunch of error all indicating that its looking for the dll file on my desktop, but when i checked under my bin folder in my website directory, the dll is there...
Help Plz...
If you view the properties of the reference you'll probably find that the path to the reference is incorrect.
I have often found that the quickest way of fixing the problem is to open the project file with notepad and correct the path to the reference.
