I was trying to install the setup of my program(VB.net 2005) on the machine which does not have the dotnet framework.
I have added the .net framework by right clicking the setup project- which is included in the project.
Add\assembly\browse\c:\installer-6171-19-Microsoft-NET-Framework-2-0-50727-English
then built it.
still getting the same problem .
u need to install the .net framework 2.0.50727

don't just add framework into your project, right click on setup project, select properties, click prerequisites and tick .net framework 2.0 and select install from the same location as my application option too. now build your project

after building the setup project make sure you have .net framework redistributable in a folder inside your setup's release folder. if it is there then you are doing right. when you double click setup it will say the following prerequisites are not installed in your computer and will install when you press ok. thats the right way.

when you added your project output (the exe file from your program) visual studio will automatically add .net framework to your detected dependencies folder in solution explorer. make sure it detects correct.

How should I add an exe into my active project , When the same is demanding a COM component.
I mean can i add an exe into my active project????????????????

when you create setup project first open the project you need to create setup for. then from file add new project and then other project types and setup project. give the name setup and select add to current solution (you should not create a new solution). when setup project is loaded, on filesystem editor right click application folder and select add -> project output and select primary project output.
this will detect dot net version and prerequisites automatically. now you won't have to select dot net manually

How visual studio will automatically add .net framework to detected dependencies folder in solution explorer.
I have - in the prerequisite - checked the download prerequisites from the same location as my application.
I can't add the exe into the active project.because it is the COM component , dll not the exe which gets added into the references
Now what i have to do in addition to these to make the visual studio automatically add .net framework to detected dependencies folder in solution explorer

so you are using a .net setup project for deploying a non .net project ?
i didn't understand. don't you have a sing exe or dll created in .net 2.0 in your project ?

multiple file search

have my program working but need to be able to search for files of multiple file types and search for multiple drives at the same time. Right now I can only search for one files type by typing the extension into a textbox. To search for the drive, i created a BrowseFolderDialog to search folder on a specific drive and the path is displayed in a textbox. So I have two question: Is there a way for me to search for multiple file types by typing the extensions in the textbox at the same time? Is there a way to search for more than one drive in a text box at one time?

Here is some code:

Private Sub GetDirectoryContents()
Dim FilePattern As String = "*." & TextBox2.Text.Trim
Dim sdir As String = TextBox1.Text.Trim
Dim dDir As New DirectoryInfo(sdir)
Dim fi As FileSystemInfo

For Each fi In dDir.GetFileSystemInfos(FilePattern)
ListBox1.Items.Add(fi.Name)
Next
End Sub

This is the class I created to search for the folders:

Dim MyBrowseFolder As New FolderBrowser()

Public Function ShowDialog(ByVal browseFolderTitle As String)
With MyBrowseFolder
.Style = FolderBrowserStyles.BrowseForComputer

.StartLocation = FolderBrowserFolder.MyComputer & .StartLocation = FolderBrowserFolder.MyDocuments

'Dialog box title
.Description = browseFolderTitle
.ShowDialog()

'Return the folder path.
ShowDialog = .DirectoryPath

let the users type multiple extensions to a textbox seperated by commas. create a thread to search a specific extension in your path and then run multiple instances of that thread with one extension in each thread. since you have the code convert the function you are using to a thread

Is this correct because its still not working?

Dim MyThread As New System.Threading.Thread(AddressOf GetDirectoryContents)
MyThread.Start()

It may seem simple but I've never worked with threads before.

Threading is a advanced topic to understand in a few minuts. i thing you should search in MSDN and a overall knowledge about threads and threads in vb.net first. then write your program, thread functions are not like ordinary functions, and when handling you should be more cautious because you may end up in thread locks. but threads are good practice if you want your program run in a faster way (by deviding the work load to multiple threads so you can get all the work done simultaniously)

there is no problem with your code, what is the error you are getting ?

Error: Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'ListBox1' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on.

Right now, when I do the file search I type the file type in the textbox(txt) and the files with those types are displayed in a listbox. I want to change it so I can type in for example, txt, bmp, log into the textbox and display all of those file types in the listbox together. Is threading the only solution for this?
