Hello all!

I'm trying to publish my application.
I go to Project settings and then tab Publish. (I use Microsoft Visual c# 2010 Express)
I set all data and use publish wizard ...

So, when I got the files published (on my local disc) I tried to run it ...
When I run it, the first window appear, I enter data and I click on button that the application goes on.
And then I got crash message ....

If I use compile option the app works fine ... when I publish it, this happen.
Anyone have a tutorial how to do this, or anyone can tell me more about this?

Edit: I think that the problem is that this publish wizard dont include my pictures .... so how can I make it? :confused:

Regards

Did you include your pictures as a resource in the project? Also, what error do you get when it crashes, hard to help without knowing something about what is going on :)

Hi, Thanks for answering.

I got the error: (app name) has stopped working ...

and on send error report the details:

And I didn't have included pictures. Now I included them but still got this crash.

Maybe the problem is here:

pictureBox1.ImageLocation = "Pictures\\"+slikaOzadje+".jpg";

For displaying the picture I use that location which is in projectName\bin\Debug folder.

So how can I include included images to code?

[Doctor]

Okay I got it ...
but now I have another problem. I'm using this line to write data to file:

funkcije.zapisi("data1", data_variable, "UserConfig\\" + additional_location_variable + ".txt");

This function write to a file. Now the problem is with path:
"UserConfig\\" + additional_location_variable + ".txt"

When I publish it this doesn works anymore ...
Error:

See the end of this message for details on invoking 

just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************

To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this

application or computer (machine.config) must have the

jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.

The application must also be compiled with debugging

enabled.


For example:


<configuration>

    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />

</configuration>


When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception

will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer

rather than be handled by this dialog box.

What I need is a folder where the program will store this files, but when is published it doesnt works.

And also I dont even know where application installs itself ...

Normal (compiled, built) application have 3 MB size and in the same folder is another folder named "UserConfig".
When it is published the .exe file is only 1,3 KB.

I'm realy confused :confused: ... why it dont install normally? :S

[Doctor]

What if I only choose Debug --> Build solution
And I take files from bin\Release map?
Is it the same??

And when I receive errror the error report contains almost exacly location where this error occurred, so I think that hackers will get source code easly, right??
How can I protect it?

[Drakken255]

IMO, Microsoft's "Publisher" sucks, just like 90% of what they make. Anyway, the best way to publish your application, game or otherwise, is to build it in Release config, find a windows installer maker online, and use that. And if you're worried about hackers decompiling your application, there are programs that scramble your code so decompilers can't produce anything readable. Where they are and what they're called, I don't know.
