I have C# windows cs project. The application enables opening word documents and pictures as well and storing them in MS Access database. I made a setup and it installs well on computers where Visual Studio 2008 is installed, but when I install it on a computer with no VS installed, it installs and after that it doesn't starts to run.
I can not run it.
Some other C# projects I made can be installed and run without problems on the same computers on which this application doesn't start.
Can anybody help me please what could be my problem?
Thank you in advance
Possible lacks some of the .net framework components on computer with no Vs installed,because when you installing VS,all the necessary components are also installed
Most likely it seems that the computer with no VS installed does not have .NET framework installed.
And where you are testing on computers with VS installed it obviously works as .NET frameworkis already installed.
I think there is an option in setup where you can specify Prerequisites before installing your application, google out more info on this.
This link might help.
If other Applications do run then it's possible that you may miss some dependencies.
Check if all dll's are installed properly. Which framework do you use ? Are the other C# projects also programmed in that framework ?

I have developed a C# winform app in VS 2012, but when I deploy it to another machine, it's exe file does not launch until and unless the machine has VS 2012 installed in it. Initially I thought there was a problem with deployment, but I have tried all methods, by simply transferring the bin folder to creating a setup project using installShield, I tried deploying a simple app which was successful without having to install VS 2012. Could someone please give me the reason behind this dependency of my app with VS 2012, and how to get rid of it? I cannot afford to install a VS 2012 on every machine that the software needs to deployed to. Thank you so much.
This is all about which .Net Framework is installed on the machine.
For Instance, VS2012 will run on .Net Framework 4.5, but the computer your trying to run this software on maybe running on an earlier version.
If any of the assemblies that your adding to your solution are built on a later version of the .Net framework then it will be incompatible on the users machine.
change Your project Debug mode to Release Mode Then Run The App then Go to >Bin > Release Folder then u can Find Exc Setup !! Have Fun with Code !!
Probably your app depends on some assembly that is installed along with VS. You can use Dependency Walker to find out exactly what. On second thought, since this is a .Net application your dependencies should be limited to .Net assemblies and the .Net framework - you could find out exactly what you're missing on the target machine with dotPeek.
I wrote an application with .Net4 and C# and also deploy it to user system with install shield.
After I changed few lines of code, one of my Winforms automatically disposes** without error in client system which has .Net4 but does not have Visual Studio installed.
All prerequisites are installed and it used to work fine...
If I install Visual Studio in client's system, it will work perfectly.
I tried to debug it but visual studio does not find any exception.
Please help
Form may contain components that are not present in client's system.
It depends upon way in which you are deploying your application.
General way is:
Install framework.
Copy-Paste debug folder to client's system.
Bring shortcut to desktop.
OR
Simply publish the application.
Copy paste publish folder to cliet's System.
Execute publishing setup.
Bring shortcut to desktop.
It works in this way.
Hope its helpful
You wrote on the user machine .Net 4 Client framework is installed. Try to uninstall it and install full .Net 4 framework (here is a link to MS download site).
Those 2 lines that you have added may now reference the features that are available only in full .Net 4 installation. (Unfortunately you did not post those lines so we can only guess what the problem is).
With Visual Studio full .Net 4 is installed and maybe because of this your app starts to work after VS installation.
See Difference between .NET 4 Client Profile and Full Framework download for more details.
I have an application with an installshield installer. I install a service and a windows form.
Whenever I install the application on computers where I have installshield it installs, but when I try to install it on other machines it gives me Error 1001.
I am using Installshield LE, Visual Studio 2010. I am using the same OS on the development machines and on the machines where I would like to install, Windows 7.
Anyone has any idea how could that problem sorted? I tried to add all of the installshiled references what I could, but it did not change anything.

I had the exact scenario and error, installing a service and one winform. It turns out I was getting the 1001 error (apparently) because my service was already running on that machine. (Which is why i suspect you were only getting the error on your development machine?) When I uninstalled the service through add/remove programs, the installation went as planned.
This installation error can occur because the incorrect version of InstallUtilLib.dll has been streamed into the MSI package for the .NET Installer Class custom actions.
Q112469: INFO: Error 1001 Occurs During Installation
Are you using both VS10 and VS12 ?
Have you activated the InstallShield ?
I had a similar problem. Mine was being caused by a similar service that was already installed. Uninstalling the already installed service worked for me.
This error occurs when you have a referenced Framework that you have not installed in the server where you are trying to install your app, select installshield le in menu bar, select options and then .NET, finally select the framework's folder in my case was v2.0 because that's the framework i have installed in the server,
hope can help
Hopefully this will help some of you encountering the Error 1001 when trying to install a .NET Windows Service using InstallShield 2015 LE installer project with the Primary Output set as an Installer.
It's a known InstallShield bug when .NET 4.6 is installed on Windows 10.

Verify that you have the correct version of the .NET framework installed on the machine that you are installing the software to. The version is shown in the project properties.
I have Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 installed in my computer. I wrote a program using C# & it created a .exe file in the Debug directory. When I double click on the .exe file, I can open it on my machine. But if I copy that .exe file and try to run it on another computer, (that doesn't have Microsoft Visual Studio) it doesn't work. Can you please tell me how can I make a .exe file work on any computer? Or if you know a website that explains it. I have done this using Winzip long time ago and including all the library files alone with the .ext file. but don't remember how I did that anymore. Does any one knows how can I include all my library files alone with the .exe file. so I can run it on a computers that doesn't have those library files?
Programs compiled with VS2010 can be targeted against a variety of .NET Frameworks. However, the many versions of Windows don't always have the most recent .NET versions installed.
Check which version of the .NET Framework your program is using by looking under the Application tab of your project properties. You should see a Target Framework drop down list, which will tell you what version of the framework other computers will need to have installed in order to run your program.
You have a few options to get your program working on other computers.
Compile the program with a different, lower framework. (e.g. .NET 2 is often available on Windows XP, while .NET 4 is uncommon on this OS.) This will only work if you aren't using any features from later versions of .NET.
Install the .NET framework you require on the client machine. Microsoft provides frameworks to download and install from http://www.microsoft.com/net/download
Try creating a Windows Installer using the Setup Project template. Add a new project to your solution from the Setup and Deployment category. After setting up this project, you should have an installer to run on other machines.
You will have to have the appropriate version of the .NET Framework installed on the computer you want to run your application on.
This are the things that you need to do.
Check if what OS version of your computer. If it's Windows XP check if it has .net framework 3.5 or to 4.0.You can download it here Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5
Try to do Set up and deployment.

My client's PC runs Windows 7 Ultimate with .netframework 4 client profile. I am unable to install my application developed in VS2008. I tried uninstalling .NET Framework 4 From his PC and running the Clean up tool provided by Microsoft. But still I am unable to install it successfully. It provides Error 1001.
I tried running the program as administrator. I also tried to Turn on .net 3.5 feature from add or remove program.
Thanks in advance. :)
Edit:
The error what i get is shown here.
Furthermore,
I have confirmed that it is a 32bit processor and i run x86 release version of setup
The application is developed in a Windows 7 OS with .NET Framework 3.5
I have installed this application in 7 PCs which have .NET 3.5 installed in them and having OS Windows XP,Vista and Windows 7; and all are working fine.
In clients PC, when I try to install .NET 3.5 again, the installer starts but then it disappears suddenly without doing anything
I have tried turning on .NET 3.5 framework feature from control panel> Program and Features.
I have tried running the program as Administrator
I have tried setting the application setup in Windows XP and Vista compatible mode.
But still the issue persists.
Thanks :)
#Niraj.. hope you recognize me.. :)
Well, I think the issue is with your installer. Something in your package settings is conflicting with the environment at your client's computer. With the error message that you posted, it looks like there is some dependency on some assembly which isnt available to the installer, and hence its failing. This might include version number mismatches too.
You should also look at this question, which talks about an issue similar to yours.
or try using FusLogvw.exe to check which assemblies fail to load at runtime.
As you said you have only .net framework 4 client profile which is a subset of the .NET Framework 4 and is optimized for client applications. Please make sure that everything needed for your new application is included in client profile version. Also it is possible that your application installer requires .NET Frw 3.5 as a dependency. Anyway as already said by Henk no need to do anything with .NET Frw 4 just install 3.5.
There is an exception raised during the installation, and you should as it wished to collect MSI debug log and other necessary information to troubleshoot.
I don't think .NET 4 is the root cause. Otherwise, you should already install this app after uninstallation of .NET 4.
in my opinion
be sure that you not run X64 application in X86 based computer
trying to run them in compatibility mode for OS depend on which OS you used in client system
check the prerequested component are installed or not in client system.
you show the problem 1001 in snapshot so you can Read the log for more information about the setup you trying to install on client side.
your setup forced client system to load a specific type during the installation and type not exactly load as setup want so they give you a exception called "LoaderException"
for more information start googling may be it solved your problem

I got it finally...nothing was stopping my application but Crystal Reports.
We forgot to include Crystal Reports Basic as a prerequisite.
Thank you guys for the efforts taken. :)
