I am trying to publish my project, but when I run the installer it dies because the the project has been improperly formatted. I have been unable to find any references to formatting during publishing, or even system requirements for the published version. If you have an easy solution or if you can point me in the direction of reference material for this that would be great. Thanks.
FYI - J# doesn't support 64 bit platform as of now. You may like to visit http://blogs.msdn.com/jaiprakash/ for some insight :).
Thanks.
Could you please send out log file contents? we will get the log file by clicking "Details..." button of "Application Failed" dialog.
This could be because of .NET version problem. Have you tried installing it on fresh machine?
Thanks,
Neela

The installation has been tried on multiple machines, including the client's which came up with other errors that they were unable to explain and I was not present for the install. I have tried the install on a fresh laptop with XP Home OS and as well a fresh desktop with XP PRO, bot had .NET SDK version 2.0 installed. Again thank you for your time.
Deployment has common code base across .Net Languages. You might get quick answer at http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/ShowForum.aspx?ForumID=6 on ClickOnce Deployment
Hi,
I guess you are working on VS 2003 and what I am getting from previous few posts is...
1. You have J# peoject(s).
2. You want to create .msi for them.
If I am correct then...
In VS 2003 (VS 2005 also) there are no language specific installer projects. You may like to check C# project templates. There too installer templates are not there.
Basically setup/deployment projects have nothing to do with language. They deploy/install dlls, which are not language specific (MSIL code). That's why there is a seperate Setup And Deployment Projects node under Project Types of New Project dialog box.
If you select this node, then in the Templates list box on RHS you can see a no of templates for setup/deployment, eg. Setup Project, WebSetup Project, Cab project etc. Use the template which serves your purpose.
For thorough details on how to create a set up project you may like to refer this link. This link explains a how to create .msi file for a solution containing two C# projects. Just read J# instead of C#.
Please post back if this doesn't serve your purpose or you face any more issues.
Thanks.
there is nothing in my "Add | New Project" that have anything to do with deployment or set up. I ahve recently heard that J# Express was not meant for deployment. Do I need the suite indtead?
Thanks.
Thanks.
J# Express SKU has support to Click Once deployment and not through Setup/MergeModule Projects.
