Hello, I am having a very hard time trying to get the .net framework included in a package to run a .net application. My biggest problem is that there is very little documentation on how to build a .net application into a ThinApp package. I've muttled my way through a couple of trial-and-error steps and I think I figured out the most part but I just can't seem to get it working. Here is what I've done so far.
Built a clean Windows Vista machine
Removed Framework 3.0 (turn features on/off)
Installed ThinApp
Ran pre-scan
Installed Framework 3.0 (turn features on/off)
Ran post scan
Compiled package as cmd.exe
Added my .net application in the %ProgramFilesDir%
copied package to another Vista machine (one without the framework)
ran cmd.exe (which did build my directories and place my application in the right spot)
ran application
When I run the application, I get an .dll not found message (usually mscoree.dll) which tells me that I didn't get the .net framework captured correctly.
Did I do the integration correctly or is there some magic trick I don't know to make this easier? Or a better question, are there any step-by-step walkthroughs available for integrating a .net application into a package?
Thanks!!
