I am using Microsoft Visual Studio Installer Projects to make a setup file for my C# app and when I install my app it says:
Failed to update database because the database is read-only
Here is screenshot of my database in Microsoft SQL Management Studio that shows read-only is false.
Here is screenshot of my database file in installer that shows read-only is false.
Yet after installing my app I get error above.
Any idea?
Solved
While comments above were helpful but easiest solution for me that didn't require lots of editing and coding was to change Application Folder path to outside of Program Files (86) folder something like this
C:\[Manufacturer]\[ProductName]
Here is screenshot of where to change that path and everything works fine now
Now it will install on path like C:\My_Company\App_Name where there is no permission restrict for system to access database file.
I have a new .net Core 2.0 Web API project (In Visual Studio 2017 Version 15.3.5) where I can´t build the solution if I add a new database project.
error MSB4019: The imported project "C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk\2.0.0\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v11.0\SSDT\Microsoft.Data.Tools.Schema.SqlTasks.targets" was not found. Confirm that the path in the declaration is correct, and that the file exists on disk.
I have tried all kinds of solutions
Installed almost everything missing from the Visual Studio Installer
Installed Visual Studio Build Tools 2017
Repaired Visual Studio
Without luck I tried to find Microsoft.Data.Tools.Schema.SqlTasks.targets file on C:\ to the add reference to it in the project file (I then don´t know if that works while building the solution in VSTS).
So why can I add a database project to a normal API project and everything works just fine but not to a .net core one?
Do database projects not work with .net Core? I have searched for information on this but sorry I just can´t find it.
I´m not sure what to do. Hope somebody can help.
Ok I managed to find the Microsoft.Data.Tools.Schema.SqlTasks.targets file on my computer.
I then needed to unload the project and edit it
There I changed this line
<SSDTExists Condition="Exists('$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v$(VisualStudioVersion)\SSDT\Microsoft.Data.Tools.Schema.SqlTasks.targets')">True</SSDTExists>
to the hardcoded path of my file
<SSDTExists Condition="Exists('C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\VisualStudio\v14.0\SSDT\Microsoft.Data.Tools.Schema.SqlTasks.targets')">True</SSDTExists>
And now it builds on my computer and on VSTS.
But why this is like this I don´t know.
I was having the exact same issue building a SQL Server project on an Azure DevOps CI/CD pipeline, and locally on VS Code. On Azure DevOps none of the pre-built build tasks would work for me, and locally I could only compile the SQL Server project on Visual Studio, which was annoying. Your solution didn't work for me, after doing what you suggest, I would get a .dll missing error, related with the first error.
I solved this by avoiding to add a SQL Server project to the solution.
I achieved this by using an MSBuild SDK, capable of producing a SQL Server Data-Tier Application package (.dacpac) from the set of SQL scripts. By adding this second project to the solution, I managed to continue taking advantage of linking the project to a live database through SQL Server Object Explorer on Visual Studio. I gave a more detailed explanation about my implementation in this answer.
Wakanda Studio (Ent. recent release), is crashing upon opening a project.
The answer to this problem has been posted on the Wakanda Forum, which I cannot access.
Make sure that you have full (read/write) access to the solution (.waSolution file, project folders, etc.).
Also make sure that the .waSolution file refers to existing .waProject and .waSettings files.
You can also clear the preference folders located at the following locations:
C:\Users{Name}\AppData\Roaming\Wakanda Studio
C:\Users{Name}\AppData\Roaming\Wakanda Server
C:\Users{Name}\AppData\Roaming\Wakanda Enterprise Studio
C:\Users{Name}\AppData\Roaming\Wakanda Enterprise Server
C:\Users{Name}\AppData\Local\Wakanda Studio
Rename the folders above when Wakanda is not running and then launch Wakanda to let the application recreate the default preference files.
The studio crashing bug was solved by creating a new project, and copying into it from the crashing project all the .js files, etc.
I have a small windows forms application created in Visual Studio 2012 that uses ReportViewer version 11.0.0.0.
The application target framework is .NET 4.0 and its deployment method is ClickOnce
On my PC it installs but on client machines, intallation fails with error
the application requires that assembly microsoft.reportviewer.processingObjectModel version 11.0.0.0 be installed in the global assembly cache first.
On the client machines, i have installed
.NET 4.0
ReportViewer 2010
Microsoft Report Viewer 2012 Runtime CTP
SQLSYSCLRTYPES.msi
in the project application files settings, i have set microsoft.reportviewer.processingObjectModel publish status to Include(Auto), in the references i have also set its Copy Local property to True.
what am i missing?
I have even followed the instructions here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms251723.aspx
Here is (arguably) the best way to deal with this issue... without downloading or installing any extras. This worked with Visual Studio 2012 (Ultimate)
Goto the main project within your solution(default/statup project)
Right Click and Click Properties / Select "Your Project">> Project>> Properties
Click on "Publish" Tab to see publishing options
Goto "Install Mode and Settings">> Click "Application Files" and Dialog opens
Go down and look for the items set with "Publish Status" > Prerequisite
You will find ReportViewer and Several Other Files set to Prerequisite
Change all the Publish Statuses to "Include" in the drop down
I know you only need the ReportViewer Only but this will eliminate other potential problems I came across
Now all the required files will be added to your installation setup good to go!
For interest, you can change include a desktop icon under "Install Mode and Settings">>Options>Mainfests>Create Desktop Short Cut
you are missing the ProcessingObjectModel.dll file find the version 11.0.0.0 in gac assembly C:\windows\assembly\GAC_MSIL\Microsoft.ReportViewer.ProcessingObjectModel and add it to bin dir.
We had the same issue, but the thing is, its automatically adding it to the references (microsoft.reportviewer.processingObjectModel), if u EXCLUDE it from the publishing properties(properties->publish->application files), It might fix it.
A better option would be to install the Microsoft Report Viewer 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package at:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=6610
Your users will need to have this package installed as well. If you just copy and paste a MS DLL, you'll have to redeploy it every time you upgrade your application.
If you are using WinForms, to me it seems pointless to worry about installing this DLL in the GAC when it's being used for a report viewer that is deployed via click-once. This isn't a big file and you're probably using it as a report viewer control on a form, nothing more. One possible solution is to do the following:
In Visual Studio, go to the reference in your project for the assembly Microsoft.ReportViewer.ProcessingObjectModeland locate the file path to the folder for that assembly. Mine was version 12 and so my file path was C:\windows\assembly\GAC_MSIL\Microsoft.ReportViewer.ProcessingObjectModel\12.0.0.0__89845dcd8080cc91
Copy the file path of the folder the assembly is in and remove the reference from your project (right click the reference and select "Remove").
Win + R to get a 'Run' prompt. Paste that folder path in there and execute to jump right into the folder of that DLL.
Find the DLL, it should be the only file in that folder, and copy it to your Visual Studio project folder. You shouldn't care about 100kb of extra space on your drive consumed, and I don't think this DLL is one you'll need to update.
Back in Visual Studio, right click References, Add Reference, and browse for that DLL in your project folder. After adding the reference, make sure that the Copy Local property is set to true.
Clean and rebuild, test the application on your local computer, than Deploy your ClickOnce again.
Now when users install your application with ClickOnce, the reference will not refer to the GAC at all and there won't be any need to rely on the prerequisite check/installation process for this DLL because you have included it directly in your published application.
It depends on the setup type you are using but basically, it means the required library is missing from your server or computer. To enable the application to download from the server (In a client-server architecture), you need to include the file(s) in the project.
Go to your application option and locate the "Publish" tab
Click on "Application files"
In the ensuing dialog, select to include all the libraries you want included (or that are required to run your application on the client machine and click "Ok")
Build your application and then publish to the server.
I hope this works for you, it worked for me in Visual Studio 2010 Professional
In case of Windows 10 it won't work installing Microsoft Report Viewer 2010 SP1 as describe by user1236560. First you need to install Prerequisites for SQL Server Management Objects (SQLSysClrTypes.msi) need to choose between x86 and x64 depending on your hardware. You could find it on: http://origin.www.ms.akadns.net/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=16BC778C-357B-46E9-8356-D575903AC831
After that you need to install MICROSOFT® REPORT VIEWER 2012 RUNTIME that you could find on: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35747
Both of this package will have to be installed.
I encountered this error
System Update Required
Unable to install or run the application. The application requires that assembly
Microsoft.ReportViewer.ProcessingObjectModel Version 11.0.0.0 be installed in the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) first.
Please contact your system administrator.
this error popped out when installing an application made from Visual Studio
meaning I am one of the client
I have Visual Studio 2015 and a Microsoft SQL Server 2014 and didn't know about Crystal Reports and other related stuff to it. I do check the version of my .NET Framework which is version 4.6.2.
I have several extension files and distributable files downloaded and yet doesn't solve my problem.
I do not know if I solve the problem generally but I do become successful in installing the application
so I downloaded and installed the ff:
SAP Crystal Report for Visual Studio 2015(latest, just to make sure)
Microsoft System CLR Types for Microsoft SQL Server 2012
Microsoft Report Viewer 2012 Runtime.
the problem took me about 2 days to trouble shoot, Be careful on downloading and installing extension files and distributed files cause it will munch some space too.
The Best answer is:

It reduced all of my head aches.
I need to get hold of the Sharepoint DLL's. I understand that these are available from the Sharepoint server however the company I work for is quite large and the server is not anywhere I can get close to to copy the DLL's. Is there somewhere I can download these so I can start to develop my VB.NET application locally!
You need to be developing on a Virtual Machine with SharePoint installed on that machine. If your company has an MSDN subscription you should have the ability to download installation media, if it is not already available.
However Microsoft has guidance on doing this on your physical machine here.
You can download the Sharepoint Foundation installer from here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=49c79a8a-4612-4e7d-a0b4-3bb429b46595&displaylang=en
No MSDN is required - this is a free download, and Sharepoint Foundation is completely free, as long as you already have SQL Server and Windows Server already licensed.
As Nat has mentioned, it is highly recommended to do development on a virtual machine, and to have the full Sharepoint setup installed there.
Here is a setup guide, but there are many others out there:
http://www.drowningintechnicaldebt.com/DennisBottjer/archive/2009/11/30/sharepoint-2010-foundation-development-demonstration-installation-guide.aspx
After you have Sharepoint installed on your VM, you can find the DLLs under c:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\web server extensions\14\ISAPI
Install Windows SharePoint Services to get it.
You can download it from below URL
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=14117
is located in Local_Drive:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\14\TEMPLATE\SiteTemplates\sts
