Hi,

I want to create a setup project in VS 2008. After collecting all files from the runtime directory in the setup project I try to start the debugging of the setup project. I get an error message, that the Telerik.OpenAccess.Ouery_PublisherPolicy.cfg could'nt be found in the 'policy.2008.03.Telerik.OpenAccess.Query.dll'. There is no such file in the runtime directory and I can't find any link in the properties of the dll to the cfg-file.

I need a hint to proceed.
Thanks in advance.
Christian

Hi Christian,

this seems like a problem. As far as I can tell, there seems to be an empty resouce included into the policy*.dll files. However, I'm not sure whether you need to include them into your application anyway, as they only serve the purpose to allow a newer dll be used instead of an older version. So I would leave them out of the setup for now.

We will fix the problem that the resource is empty in an upcoming version.

All the best,
Thomas

Hi,
I followed the instructions in your ORM-handbook and copy all files from the runtime directory to the output directory of my solution. I collected the files in a setup-project and run into the problem. Now I organize links in the project to the neccessary files in the runtime directory and that works fine.

My suggestion is that you produce a easy to follow how-to for deploying solutions. I think click-once is one of the interessting ways to deploy solutions. Another way is the setup-project and the third way is the build-process in a team foundation environment.

For now I have a way to deploy my application.
Thanks.

Hi Christian,
Could you elaborate a bit more on the deployment ideas? Do you refer to "deployment of OpenAccess with third party application" to customers? Or what you mean is how to deploy in a web app scenario? On a developer machine? We need thorough information on this one and your feedback, as we scheduled this in our documentation TODO list.

All the best,

Hi,
in my project I have to develop a web front end and - for other users - an winforms front end. Both parts based on the same business logic layer. So I have one solution with three projects. In the winforms front end I want to use a setup-project for deployment. Another way of deployment is the click-once-deployment. The attempt failed because of missing references to the orm-libraries.
In the documentation is a proposal that copy of all files in the runtime directory is the easiest way for deployment.
The setup-project-wizard in the visual studio collect the files from the runtime directory only if I referenced them in the winforms project.
My hope was, that the reference to the orm-libraries in the business logic project was sufficient.

In the next days I want to try the deployment of the web front end and a second try of click-once-deployment for the winform part.
