setup project

Question

Hi, in my project I have MS Access database. I also made setup project and I want access file to be copied on drive 'c:' during installation process. How to do it?

Dozd · Answer

1. Access database i not included in my project. If I include it in project adapter.update() method does not work! The code is same, but it works only if access database is outside of the project. If somebody has solution about this problem please help me. I spend a lot of time to find solutions about this problem. 2. Yes I know about option to add->file, but during installation database file copies in installation directory, so the exception appears because in code, in connection string, the path is e.g "c:\mydadabase.mbd"

Is the access database included in your project? On your deployment project right click on it and select "View -- File system" then select "Application Folder" on the left side. On the right side select "Add -- File" and add the local path to the resource to be copied. It will embed the file in the installation media and copy it when the product is installed
