using the B1 Professional Installer Wizard with VB 2005 express edition

[Former Member]

Has anyone else used the B1 Professional Installer Wizard with VB 2005 express edition? When I attempt to create a new project and follow the instructions:

go under File / New / Project …,

select the project type Visual Basic Project,

then select “VB B1 AddOn Installer Setup .NET”

and finally press OK.

then there isnt the “VB B1 AddOn Installer Setup .NET” option there.

I have looked at the screenshot in the help file and it looks different to VB 2005 express edition....does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Hi Sally,

While installing B1DE the templates needed for having the wizards working with .NET are copied in the corresponding directories where .NET visual studio will search later for showing the types of projects you can create.

I don't know where VB 2005 express edition is storing these templates... If you find out where VB 2005 express edition is storing the templates and they have the same format than the ones for .NET visual studio then you can copy them by hand and see whether they work (a copy of the templates for B1DE wizards is stored inside the directory where B1DE is installed in Program Files).

For people who are using Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition.

If you want to use the B1 Installer wizard then you must copy the contents of the VB Project Items folder(C:\Program Files\SAP\SAP Business One Development Environment\Microsoft Visual Studio 8 TEMPLATES\VB\VBProjectItems\LocalProjectItems) into the vb -> vbprojectItems folder which (if you have installed vb in the default place) will be in: (C:\Program Files\VB\VBProjectItems)

Also the contents of (C:\Program Files\SAP\SAP Business One Development Environment\Microsoft Visual Studio 8 TEMPLATES\VB\VBProjects) need to be copied into (C:\Program Files\VB\VBProjects)

Note: This is assuming vb and the B1DE have been installed in the same place.
