Hi,
I have created an application that includes a setup project. The application installs fine on XP and most Vista machines however on a new Vista machine that we just got it won't install the registry information that I added to the setup project. It installs the registry info on the other Vista machines though.
Any help would be great,

Hi morning developer,
Is the computer 64bit?
Could you provide some information about the difference between this vista computer and the others?
Best Regards

Hi,
I have created an application along with a setup project to install it. It installs great on XP machines and on most Vista machines however there is an issue with one of the new Vista machines. Everything installs except for the registry values that I created in the setup project.
Any ideas would be great

Could you specify which Registry Keys ? New Vista machines means those with Vista SP1/2 ? which editions?
Thanks  |

We tried it with SP1 and it didn't work. We then installed SP2 and it still didn't work.
The registry info is:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> Software -> Company Name -> Application Name -> Path
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> Software -> Company Name -> Application Name -> Version
Company Name doesnt' show up in the registry once the application has bee installed. There are no errors installing the application but all code that tries to reference those enteries fail because they don't exist.
Thanks |

The only thing right now I can think of would be that on some Vista machines, UAC isenabled and the installer is not being ran in Administrator mode, thus not being able to modify the registry. Just athought.

Hi Morning developer, I am moving this thread from Base ".NET FrameworkSetup" forum to the "ClickOnce and Setup & Deployment Projects" forum, since the issue is related to deployment. There are more deployment experts in the "ClickOnce and Setup & Deployment Projects" forum. Thanks

Hi,
You can try the following step to install your applicaiton.
1. Right click the cmd to run it as administrator.
2. Type "msiexec /i [Your msi file location]".
Can you install it successfully?
Sincerely,
Kira Qian

Hi,
Installing for Vista has always to do with rights set on the machine.
As you want to set the registry and you are not installing on all computers as an administrator, then the "user" part of the registryis for that in Vista.
If it is a commercial application you should never try anything that needs administrator to startup a computer as administrator.
That is just the result from progress, to many persons has tried to violate others persons computers in past, somebecome really scared about the securitybehaviour of XP computers.
Success

Thanks for the help,
The issues was with the computer be a 64 bit machine so the 32 bit apps have a special place in the registry. |
