Deploying an application that uses a DataRepeater

Hi Everyone,

I want to build an application which uses a DataRepeater from the Visual Basic Powerpacks.

What is preventing me from doing so at the moment is the fact that when you build your application, and distribute it to other computers, the application will not work because those computers need the controls installed on the destination computer.

I use InnoSetup to install my application to the destination computers (because I hate the default installer that comes with Visual Studio), however I am unsure how to go about installing the powerpacks to the destination computers.

Can anybody help me?

Why not use the actual Visual Studio "Publish Solution" feature? It will include the needed DLL-files automatically.

If you are using VS Express, it might not be as easy. But looking into the raw code in the PowerPack, should allow you to locate and add the relevant classes manually to your solution.

It may also be some settings in you program/solution that messes it up.

hopefully this helped!
