help in setup file
 

i created a database application ,but have problems with it. I want to create a setup file. so after i finished debugging i created the setup file and included the database file in the application folder. But when i deploy the application using setup application it always search the database file in its host computer and not in its directory,could anybody provide a solution for this.

thx

:beard: not sure exactly what you mean by that, you'll have to get a little bit more detailed.

It's prolly because the application shortcut's "start in" property ain't pointing to anywhere. Therefore, it will look for the database in the desktop and can't find it.

Check your connection string; if it's specified to your computer only, like "C:\Documents and Settings\...\<yourdatabasehere>, then change it so that it ships with the setup file, like "D:\<yourapplicationnamehere>\...\

Let me know how things turn out ;-)
