Published Program Install Error
« on: September 12, 2013, 10:24:04 PM »
Been working on my first program using the software and thus far very happy and impressed.  Published the program using VB Express 2012 and get the attached "System Update Required" when installing on another system.  Tried on two different machines and got the same error both times.  Any ideas.

I don't bother with using the publish feature because it has too much potential for problems. Just make sure .NET 4 is installed on the target machine and then at bare minimum copy the AdvancedHMI\bin\Debug directory to the target and create a shortcut to the exe file. This is referred to as XCopy deployment.

However, I do recommend copying the complete solution to the target. This gives you a backup and if someone else wanted to make edits, they can copy everything they need from the target machine.
