Unable to install My program. Mostly has to do with Crystal Reports - vb.net

Okay, This question has probably been asked before but I can't seem to solve it with anything that I've seen.
I published my program and tried setting it up on another computer. At first it gave me this error:
"Unable to install or run the application. the application requires that assembly microsoft.reportviewer.processingobjectmodel version 9.0.0.0 be installed in the global assembly cache (GAC) first."
After searching I found that including everything in the 'Application Files' before publishing made that go away, only to be replaced with
'Application cannot be started. Contact the application vendor.'
After searching and doing a lot of things on the computer that I want this program to be setup on, I checked (Crystal Report Basic For Visual Studio 2008 (x84, x64)) in the Prerequisite.
On the Computer that I need this program on, it won't download this at all. It gives me a message box to either retry or cancel.
Some pages suggest that the Crystal report package that automatically downloads is not the right one. When I tried following what is said here, I got stuck because the links won't open.
Any help appreciated, It's frustrating because I've been working on this program for months and I get stuck on the last step :/
oh .. and ... I don't know if this has anything to do with this, but I built the program using Windows 7, then updated to Windows 8, then updated to Windows 10.

I finally managed to make it work :)
Here is what I did:
I followed this video and I was able to install my program to the other computer.
When I opened it, I got a problem that the program can't find my MS Access DataBase, so I went to the setup project -> Right click -> add -> File, And I navigated to my original project's folder and added everything in there, and Viola! ... It works :)
I hope this helps somebody else :)

When i added missing dll and ran regsvr32 name_of_dll.dll it shown me weird message

So
I downloaded game, and it shown me that API-MS-WIN-CORE-HEAP-L2-1-0.DLL is missing in my computer
I downloaded missing dll file from dll-files.com (i downloaded right one (64 bit))
I found tutorial how to add it so i can try to run the game, I've found different methods how to add it, tried every1 but it still didnt work for me.
It started to showing me something different "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application.
i tried to fix that problem, so i did that: "Click Start then Run and type in "regsvr32 name_of_dll.dll" and hit enter."
It shown me: "The module "api-ms-win-core-heap-l2-1-0.dll" was not loaded but the entry-point DllRegisterServer was not found.
Make sure that "api-ms-win-core-heap-l2-1-0.dll" is a valid DLL or OCX file and then try again.
I gave up in this moment. btw i have Windows 7 Ultimate, 64-bit OS

VBA /Visual basic projects/macros issues while compiling

I have so many problems with any of the VBA/VB projects, that I am by now not sure which category these problems falls in. Some of the issues listed below may or may not be interrelated. But any thing that is related to visual basic project is causing me so many problems since 1 year.
I have researched so many time but have not got a solution till date :(.
But this time I could not stand it any more and therefore I am here to post it.
I had Microsoft visual basic 6.0 installed in my system last year. I was able to create some small windows based forms->compile and run as well. However, when I have a project from external resource for supporting VB applications, none of the project were compiling and running through IDE.
So i researched a lot and found the below issues:
Missing references/missing dlls. added references but no use
Tried help got this error: msdn collection does not exist please reinstall msdn
Tried Compiling - got error:
Compile error: cannot find project project or library
Tried adding components : failed by getting error Dlls are not registered.
Error in project loading, found the below error
Then I tried registering the MSCOMCTL.OCX file through regsrv.exe but it gave admin related errors as below
call toDllRegisterServer failed with error code 0x800280c
Even though I have all admin rights and I am logged in as admin for command prompt.
I also had copied the files from syswow64 to system32 or vice versa whichever way it did not work
Somewhere I had googled that we need to unblock the files to register , but these files were not blocked.
Tired, I just left the problem just like that due to other prioritised work.
But again today my colleague gave me an excel sheet which had macros written in it.
These macros do not run, instead it redirects me to Visual Basic for application IDE where the first window i get is Compile error followed by automation error
Again I thought of researching more on to it, and finally found from SO only that we should be registering MSCOMCTL.OCX.
But no matter what I do, I am unable to register any dlls.
Can any one tell me what is causing so much of compile issues , the solution and why I am not able to register any dlls or files?
And by the way, my system is window 7 64 bit and I seem to be only one in the workplace having this problem.
This issue was present even before any updates. The same profile with the same updates are running in my colleague's system. Even though there were no patch updates etc.
Try this:
Open a Command Prompt:
Open START menu, in Search box enter: cmd.exe, a link will shows, BUT doesn't press Enter key, instead RIGHT-CLICK on the link to open context menu, then choose Run as administrator
A Prompt DOS (black) windows will open on C:\Windows\System32 folder.
If your OS is 32 bit then type the below commands:
regsvr32 mscomctl.ocx press Enter
regtlib msdatsrc.tlb press Enter
If your OS is 64 bit, need to navigate to C:\Windows\SysWOW64 folder: Type the command:
CD C:\Windows\SysWOW64
then press Enter key to confirm.
Type the below commands:
regsvr32 mscomctl.ocx press Enter
regtlib msdatsrc.tlb press Enter
Now should working

Unable to debug ArcGIS 10.2 add-in on ArcMap with “No GUI components found in this Add-In”

I am working on an ArcGIS add-in (a very simple toolbar with a few buttons) with VB.Net and ArcObjects SDK in Visual Studio 2010. The solution was built successfully and the debug settings were configured.
When I hit Debug, ArcMap application was opened. I couldn't find the toolbar docked anywhere on the ArcMap toolbar. I went to "Customize" -> "Add-in Manager" and the add-in being debugged was not there. Then I tried "Add From File...", located the "esriaddin" file and clicked "Install Add-in". It populated a message box saying "No GUI components found in this Add-In."
I made some Google searches but haven't got any luck to reach a solution yet.
What was I missing? Has anyone come across the same issue and any direction?
Thanks in advance!
Try clicking build first, then open the arcmap separately and check the add-in manager inside of arcmap to see if it got added to the application. If so, you should be able to find it and turn the toolbar on.
I'm not sure about .Net, but I debugged this issue for the Java SDK. You have to make sure you are using the correct versions for compiling. In java, it was an old archive version of jdk1.6 32 bit.
Then I was referencing something wrong inside the xml document. I had changed the name of my JAR file (taken from project name by the ArcObjects SDK). In the xml document it was still pointing towards the old name.
This may not help you, but if anyone else searches this error and is using tje Java SDK, hopefully it will help.
I struggled with this same issue with a 10.0 add in. We had a 10.1 update that worked with 10.1 but trying to install it to 10.2.2 gave me that exact error. So much for upward compatible! I then tried to build 10.2.2 code and kept having this error. Others mentioned needing to build to x86 so I did that although the 10.1 was on Win7-64 and ran with AnyCPU....
I believe the final key for me was in the config file. I had set version to 10.2.2 As soon as I changed that to 10.2, the darn add-in installed just fine. Nice waste of a day for an extra '.2'

VB 2013 Error when trying to load designer or code for form "Make sure the application for file type (.vb) is installed

I have worked on an application for some time now and after booting up my PC today, entering VS 2013, opening my project and trying to load my main form an error popped up.
There is no editor available for (Location of form) Make sure the application for the file type (.vb) is installed
I have not uninstalled anything since last time the form worked, which was yesterday. My PC has a thing of sometimes randomly turning off, I don't know if that could have anything to do with the problem. I see several people with the same problem but they all seem to have a fix.
Involving re-installing some content that you have uninstalled and I do not think that is the case for me. When I execute the program VS prompts me saying that there are build errors, if I choose to run the last successful build the program works completely fine, but I still can't access the designer or code window.
This may be due to some reference file missing . Please make sure that all the references for the application is correctly added. If there is some file paths are shown like 'System can not find the reference specified' ,then remove the same and add them again from the correct path.

ClickOnce Application Not Opening

I have a VB.NET ClickOnce application that I am trying to install on my computer. Previously, I was able to install and run these apps without issue. Now when I install the application, I can see the flash of a window opening, and then nothing. (There are also no processes left hanging or anything when viewed with the task manager.)
After some digging around I noticed that there are files in my Temporary Internet Files with names like "FusionBindError" and then my application name and different DLL names.
I have done everything I can find on the net to do, reinstall applications, reinstalled the .NET Framework, deleted my Local Settings folder and relogged in.
Does anyone out there have any other ideas for me to try?
I tried the Mage.exe suggestion, but it failed to help. Same with the other installation location suggestion. The application flashes at the bottom of the screen but does not open. I have tried using FUSLOGVW to check the bindings and nothing shows up in there. (Good or bad, there are no binding entries.)
Have you tried using mage.exe? This is a command-line tool that comes with .NET framework. Start up a VS command prompt, and try mage -cc. This will clear your applicaiton cache and will force a new click-once download. This is the first thing I do when my click-once applications fail and it works 99% of the time.
A couple of suggestions:
FusLogVW isn't working for you because you have to enable assembly binding failure logging inside the registry. This MSDN article describes how to do this.
Another thing that comes to mind is, perhaps the ClickOnce app install, or perhaps the whole ClickOnce store is corrupted. Try deleting the ClickOnce app store then reinstalling the application.
It's possible that new prerequisites were added that you don't have on hand. If the URL you are using points directly to "my.application" or whatever your equivalent is, prerequisites won't be processed.
So try pointing to the setup.exe that is created in the same directory as the .application file.
Other than that, it sounds like you're doing all the right stuff...
Also, it could be useful to run the fuslogvw utility on a machine where the application actually works. Or reflector.
And then see if indeed any of its dependencies being loaded surprise you.
Also, for these types of errors, be sure to check if disabling the antivirus resident protection helps. Sometimes it causes problems accessing assemblies' manifests and such.
I uninstalled my Kensington Mouse software, and that resolved my installation errors.
Who knew that mouse software that I never used could cause so much trouble??
Sometimes if your machine is working for days this problem will show up. Try to restart your machine. The same problem happened to me and it disappeared when I restarted my machine.
