How do you monitor and troubleshoot a legacy system that fails silently? We run nightly batch processes to extract data from a legacy system. These processes fail fairly often without giving any indication that there was a problem. The legacy system is outside our control and is scheduled to be replaced. We have no way of making the system more reliable, but we came up with a simple way to detect failures. There are many commercial software packages for monitoring processes, but we wrote our own... |

The DotNetNuke project contains a time tested set-up wizard that works in a lot of situations. You can use a Web Deployment Project, but it requires you to run an installer on the server. This may not work for a lot of situations where you are using a shared hosting server. This wizard allows you to FTP the application to a remote server and then launch the configuration wizard from the web browser.... |

Developers are increasingly faced with the possibility of multiple .NET Framework versions being installed on the same machine. The .NET architecture was designed to allow multiple versions of a component to be installed and run at the same time on a single system and this side-by-side deployment extends to the .NET Framework itself. By allowing multiple versions of the .NET Framework to be installed on the same computer, applications built with version 1.0 of the .NET Framework can run using th... |

First of all, thanks for the interest and valuable comments on my initial submission. This article has been revised, twice now, and hopefully for the last time. I have corrected some errors and omissions and added a few additional comments. The original version was much "simpler", but rarely are things simple when you are dealing with installations. I have corrected some errors pointed out by others and those found by me. The article has now become more complex. This is also part 1 of the overal... |

It's been a while still my last article so I thought I'd write about my recent experiences with Wix for creating Windows Installer packages. I last used Wix 1.0 about 4 years ago with great results and had forgotten how satisfying it is to use. Unfortunately at the time of writing Wix 3.5 isn't out, but it sounds like there are some great additions in the pipeline including the much anticipated Burn utility (a bootstrap compiler), as well as Votive support for Visual Studio 2010.... |

When developing applications that target XML Web services, you will most often target XML Web services that are already installed on a Web server. Although this is the norm, there will also be cases where you want to target a different XML Web service when the production version of your application is deployed. For example, you may have targeted a test version of an XML Web service on your development server, but the finished application needs to target an installed version of the XML Web servic... |

Before creating the Install Shield for our Release version of the application, we should be aware about the list of DLLs and OCXs that our application is dependent on. That is, we should know about the dependent files our application needs to run in another machine. You can easily find the dependent files by debugging the application after setting the project to Debug mode. While you're running the application, the dependencies will be listed in the debug output window. Don't forget to do "Rebui... |

I created an application that needs to be deployed to many different machines running many versions of Windows. My app is pretty basic and does not require the .NET framework. I created a setup project in Visual Studio .NET 2003 and tested it on a new install of Windows 98. The installer popped up a message notifying the me that I HAD to install the .NET framework before continuing with the installation. I looked for an option to turn off that install condition, but could find none.... |

I will demonstrate the easiest way of installing a Windows service. Using the InstallUtil.exe had been my primary mechanism of installing a Windows service until I came across Windows Services Can Install Themselves by W. Kevin Hazzard. That article has demonstrated that a service can be installed/uninstalled/launched from the command line alone. I, on the other hand, have come up with a way to install/uninstall the Windows service by double clicking the service executable.... |

So you've finally managed to complete your latest application after putting in a lot of last minute effort, spending sleepless nights and consuming a million cups of Coffee. Pleased with yourself you're ready to lean back and relax. The grunt work's all done. Right? Wrong! A veteran programmer won't consider an application complete until he has shipped it to the client and waited for 15 days. The successful deployment of an application is just as tough if not any harder than the actual coding of... |

Most of the software we all buy and receive, on either media (CD-ROM, download, etc...) provides the end-user with a wizard-like setup application. In some cases though, multiple products are available on the same support and when one inserts the CD-ROM in the CD tray, a nice splash screen appears, letting him/her select the application to install. Never wondered how this was made? Here is a (very) simple implementation of this kind of first-setup-screen.... |
