I have the VS Express 2008 where there is only ClickOnce deployment option. I need my app to be simple ran by clicking on the exe file without any installation.
I have found out that after deleting both manifests and icon /which is always in the output directory even though its embedd with "Do not copy" option/ it works well. Is it ok or is there any cleaner way how to do that? I mean, if the app is not being installed but only ran, do I still need external manifest files? I tried to embedd them but these still persist external (tried "Embed manifest with default setting" option or add my own and selected from list).
EDIT: In the Express, there is only ClickOnce.
Thanks
If you want to run it from the exe, ClickOnce isn't quite right. ClickOnce executes as a .application, and you should be able to just click the radio button (on the "Publish" tab) for "The application is available online only", which avoids any local ClickOnce install.
Otherwise, just build as Release and take the /bin/Release output; this is your standalone exe app. To get the right trust, a .NET exe can be executed from:
local drives
mapped network drives (f: etc) with the right .NET service pack
anywhere if "caspol" has been used to set a policy
I believe in Visual Studio Express, ClickOnce deployment is your only choice.

Please give me link of program that can capable phone wp8 run my application that written by Wp8 and VS.net 2013 and SQL Server CE 3.5.
Please give me link of software that I need to install on the phone.
SQL Server CE is not explicitly supported on Windows Phone. Silverlight-based apps can use LINQ-to-SQL though. See Local database for Windows Phone.
Finally i found reply for my question:
**Private file–based deployment (deploying the SQL Server Compact DLLs as part of the project)
***Users do not need administrative credentials to install the
application.
***SQL Server Compact will not be serviced by Microsoft Update.
Can also use
***ClickOnce deployment.
To deploy a SQL Server Compact 4.0 database by using private
file–based deployment
To open the Project Designer, in Solution Explorer/Database Explorer, double-click My Project if you are working on a Visual
Basic project (or Properties if you are working on a C# project).
Click the Publish tab.
Click Prerequisites and then clear the check box for SQL Server Compact.
Close the Project Designer.
Go to the directory that contains the SQL Server Compact DLLs. These are located in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server Compact
Edition\v4.0.
Select the seven SQL Server Compact DLLs and copy them:
Sqlceca40.dll
Sqlcecompact40.dll
Sqlceer40EN.dll
Sqlceme40.dll
Sqlceoledb40.dll
Sqlceqp40.dll
Sqlcese40.dll
Paste the DLLs into the project in Solution Explorer/Database Explorer.
Select all seven DLLs in Solution Explorer/Database Explorer and open the Properties window.
Set the Copy to Output Directory property to Copy if newer.
This will replace any earlier DLLs in an existing application with the newer ones if the application is updated.
Click the Show All Files button in Solution Explorer/Database Explorer.
Expand the References node.
Select System.Data.SqlServerCe.
Set the Copy Local property to True.
Because your development computer has the SqlServerCe DLLs in the global assembly cache, you must configure the application to use
the DLLs in the output directory.
Right-click the project in Solution Explorer/Database Explorer and select Publish to open the Publish Wizard.
Complete the wizard to publish the application.
The application is ready to be installed. Go to the location you
published to, and install the application to verify.
I'm using VS2010 connected to a local SP2010 installation, I edit the code in VS2010 (i.e. of a WebPart) and then in order to see the result on a browser I deploy the solution.
This is very annoying since it is a big project and it takes a couple of mins to deploy the solution.
I was wondering if it is possible to have the "edit -> save -> F5" approach even for SharePoint.
Thanks!
I'm gonna to integrate here the answer i get from the kind ppl and what i've actually done to solve/mitigate my slowness problem:
Installed CKSDev Visual Studio plugin from here: http://cksdev.codeplex.com/
On the SharePoint project properties tab set to 'True' the property 'Auto copy to SharePoint root', with that on each time you do save a 'visual' (ascx, aspx, js, css, ..) source file, it will be automatically copied over the SP hive without having to manually push it using the Quick Depl. option
On SharePoint project properties page (right-click, properties), add the following post build event command line:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\bin\gacutil.exe" /i "$(TargetPath)"
iisreset
The previous commands will:
Install the project dlls into the GAC
Restart IIS in order to catch the new dlls
Now each time you do save a change in the visual or build the code it will automatically pushed to the SP installation.
For newer source files i still need to normally deploy the project.
You can do that by copying the modified file to the corresponding folder inside SharePoint Hive[14] (Or you can edit it there directly), and recycle the application pool.
Note that it this solution is only applicable to web parts, pages and xml files and it cannot be done for code files.
If you have modified your code files you have to recompile them and copy the dlls to GAC[%systemroot%\assembly] or BIN[14\bin] folder depending on your settings.
Download CKS: Development Tools Edition (aka CKSDev) from here and install into VS 2010. You will see new context menu "Quick Deploy" in solution manager which will speed up requested tasks: deploy to GAC/BIN, Recycle App Pool and more (shortcuts are accessible!). Very handy tool.
Use CKSDev, and separate your solution into smaller solutions so you can work on a subset of your projects, I would be very surprised if your webpart is dependent on every project in your master solution. If you are developing on a virtual machine without internet access also ensure that you are not waiting for timeout on your certification checks everytime you recycle the apppool (happens when you deploy). Read here for how to: http://joelblogs.co.uk/2011/09/20/certificate-revocation-list-check-and-sharepoint-2010-without-an-internet-connection/
I am going though below step during debug code.
1) if you are changes only code assembly than Build Your Project after changes code.
2) Open Assembly folder(run > assembly) and drag and drop your project's dll(will be found it out from Your Project Directory\bin\Debug).
3) open IIS (run > inetmgr) and goto Application Pools and find it out your sharepoint we-app's Pool. after selecting Application Pool (Recycle) it.
4) now come back on VS SharePoint Project.Debug > Attach to Process > w3wp.exe.
should be hit your break point.
that's it.
I wanted to try open "Hello World" from here. I already had Visual Studio 2010 installed. I went here and downloaded WindowsAzureSDK-x86.exe and installed the SDK.
Yet when I double click the .sln in the sample Visual Studio opens the .csproj (the project with web role) just fine but complains it can't open the .ccproj file because its project type is not supported by this version of the application.
What else do I have to install so that I can open that .ccproj project file?
You need the Windows Azure SDK+tools. The easiest way to do this is to visit here and select "Get Tools and SDK." This will fire up the Web Platform Installer, which should do a much better job of setting up your environment.
A few more things: You'll need SQL Express (or SQL Server) installed as well. I "think" the Web Platform Installer will take care of that for you, but I'm not 100% sure. Also, you'll need to run Visual Studio as Administrator, to allow it to properly interact with the local Windows Azure simulator.
Turns out I needed to also install the thing called "VSCloudService.exe" on the same page. Once I installed it .ccproj files open just fine.
I have a visual studio click once deployment. It's upgraded from VS 2008. The part that i'm having a problem with is the Prerequisites. I need for the .net 4 framework and Visual Basic PowerPacks 10.0 to be deployed with the app. I have the check box checked to "Create setup program to install prerequisite componets." I also have the Microsoft .net Framework 4 (x86 and x64) checked and the Microsoft Visual Basic PowerPacks 10.0 checked. the Download prerequisites from teh component vendor's web site is also selected. The publish says it's successful, but when i run the application, it tells me that i need the .net 4 framework installed and an ok button. click the ok button and i'm done. it doesn't provide a link, doesn't launch anything... nothing. From the googing i've done this is the way i'm suppose to have it setup. Can anyone give me some pointers as to what i'm doing wrong.
Thanks

It is better to add Prerequisites in the same published location. And select download Prerequisites from the same location option button in Prerequisites segment. When you publish build the application, All Prerequisites related folders will be created under the folder you have published the application. This will help you to copy and paste entire folder structure onto live server for deployment. This has to be done for the first time. For the later releases you only have to copy and paste application related files. Of course, If you change any of the Prerequisites then you have to copy them onto live server also.
A colleague has written a Windows Application and left me to do the installers. I have created the installer project through Visual Studio and added the primary output of the service project to the new project.
When I run the installer it creates the correct folders and copies the dlls, exe and config file in, but it doesn't do the actual install of the service.
The service isn't listed in the Services window, and if I double click on the exe I'm told I need to run installutil to install the service.
How do I make the installer do this bit for me? I found this article:
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/install/InstallService.aspx
but that seems overly complex for what I would expect to be pretty basic.
I used this article:
How to create a Setup project for a Windows Service in Visual Basic .NET or in Visual Basic 2005
Felt pretty dumb that I couldn't figure it all out until I went through all of the steps in this article. It's not a trivial exercise by any means.
For those who are looking for updated instructions for Visual Studio 2010 (instructions in answer are for VS 2005) check the following link:
Walkthrough: Creating a Windows Service Application in the Component Designer (note that "other versions" [VS 2005, VS2008] are available from the same link)
I had this issue in my case the problem was I neglected to add the custom actions for the installer project. To find these right click project->"view"->"custom actions" under there it needs the primary output added to the folders.
