Re: Change Hdd Name from VB.net Dave Kreskowiak31-Jul-07 10:17 Dave Kreskowiak 31-Jul-07 10:17  You would have to P/Invoke the Win32 API functions SetVolumeMountPoint and DeleteVolumeMountPoint to do this. Beware! You can not change the drive letter of the volume Windows is installed on. Also, it's not a good idea to change the drive letter of anything other than a removable volume. Changing the drive letter of a hard disk after application have been installed on it will result in those application breaking! Documentation on Volume Mount Point functions[^].

CCG331-Jul-07 8:32 CCG3 31-Jul-07 8:32  Hello all, I am working with VB.Net and I currently have a Setup Project that I do a Build on and install my program to different PCs. This works fine, but my question now is how can I create an 'update' to send my users instead of a full install. I also want to make sure that I don't send them the original MDB file again and overwrite the one they currently have on their machine. Does anyone have any suggestions or know of any links explaining how to do this? I tried the Publish but it tried to install the original MDB, which would be a very bad thing. Thanks for any advice you can offer! Re: Create an Update for my project.... Naji El Kotob31-Jul-07 9:06 Naji El Kotob 31-Jul-07 9:06  Hi, Try the ClickOnce deployment technique, start with this article http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/04/05/ClickOnce/[^] hope this helps NajiCo http://www.InsideVB.NET[^] It's nice 2b important, but it's more important 2b nice... Re: Create an Update for my project.... [modified] CCG331-Jul-07 9:48 CCG3 31-Jul-07 9:48  It looks like with ClickOnce, you have to install with a ClickOnce project, and I don't have that. I added a Setup Project to my program and I am installing using the output of Build of that Setup. So I don't think that ClickOnce is a option for me. Does anyone know of anything else I can use? Re: Create an Update for my project.... CCG331-Jul-07 11:42 CCG3 31-Jul-07 11:42  What I have right now is the flag set to RemovePreviousVersion, and I set my MDB's Permanent property to true. And anytime I do an updated build, I have to change the Version. Then when they install, it will see the other version, un-install it, but leave the MDB alone, and then reinstall. Does anyone else know of a better solution for updates using the Setup Project feature?

Re: Creating a help file Dave Kreskowiak31-Jul-07 7:52 Dave Kreskowiak 31-Jul-07 7:52  A Word document is way too heavy for an About box and would require that every use who uses your app have Word installed just to see your About box. A lighter, though still pretty heavy IMHO, alternative is to export the document as an HTML file and use the WebBrowser component in the Toolbox to display it.
