After we build a Data Studio Community Connector, we would deploy it.
https://codelabs.developers.google.com/codelabs/community-connectors/#12
And we will get a deployment ID.
My Questions are:
The community connector we just created, would it be visible to the public? Or in other words, people can find out this newly deployed connector from search or connectors directory etc?
If I want someone to use this new connector, do I have to share my apps script project (for this data studio connector) to them? Or they can access it if they have the deployment ID?

Thanks!
The Share guide on Data Studio Developer site talks about this in details.
If you create a new deployment, people cannot find out this newly deployed connector from search or connectors directory.
If you want someone to use this new connector, the user need to have read access to the script project in order to execute it. You do not have to make the script link available to them. See the Share guide for more details.

I am trying to get this tutorial working (Deploy a .NET application in a Windows container to Azure Service Fabric) but I am getting the error below:
The selected account doesn't have sufficient permissions to access this team project. You'll need to use a different account
The tutorial asks me to right-click on Solution Explorer in Visual Studio, and Configure Contnuous Delivery to Azure Unfortunately, Visual Studio 2017 v 15.5.6 comes up with the seemingly erroneous error above, with no further clues! My account is the one and only administrator! (Indeed, it is the account I used to create the whole of my VSTS setup!)
Any ideas greatly appreciated...
I have a VB Windows forms application that uses a mysql database to keep track of everything within the application.. The problem that I know will occur is that most of the applications users will not have MYSQL let alone know how to install it properly... To install the application on the users systems I am using the Visual Studio Setup Installer to handle creation of the msi files.. What needs to happen first is the installer needs to check to see if MYSQL is installed on the host system and verify server name.. If true then import database, if not then install followed by import database... The importing is not the issue here... How do I make the installer install mysql with controlled parameters such as server name, etc, etc. Any ideas on this??? I have hammered google for the past 3 hours looking for bread crumbs on this but to no avail...
Usually existing packages (like the MySQL installer) are added as prerequisites. Visual Studio setup projects do not support custom prerequisite creation. However, this can be done by manually generating the required manifests.
You can find the manifests structure here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms229223(VS.80).aspx
These manifests can be generated automatically with the Bootstrapper Manifest Generator tool.
After generating the package manifests, you can add all these files (including the package) in a separate folder in the Visual Studio prerequisites folder, for example:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages\
You can then select the prerequisite in your setup project properties page.
Well... that's a good question. The first thing that pops up in my mind:
You could build the check in your application instead of the installer and warn the user about it. If needed, you could provide another installer to make sure everything is available (MySQL and the database itself).
I hope it helps you further.
Yours sincerely,

i want to apply load balance to Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0, can i configure it on an existing installation? or do i have to install it all over again?
Thank you for your responses
Please see this article which describes how to Install Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 Server on multiple computers
If you already have a Dynamics CRM Server, you have to install the additional one(s) which you have to attach to the already created databases.
You have to use a unique service account for the application.
What is the best practice for creating an installer for a winform application.
The application is supposed to install the following without connecting to internet.
.Net Framework 3.5sp1
MySQL Server
My SQL Connector
Restore Mysql db
Update Config file with the MySQL uname/pwd.
I have all the msi files for installing the above mentioned items. But am wondering about the best practice to create the installer.
Thanks in advance,
Hi I came up with a similar situation. Firstly you should have .NET framework offline installer which can be downloaded from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=992cffcb-f8ce-41d9-8bd6-31f3e216285c. I assume you are using visual studio installer. There are couple of choices but I prefer to copy the offline .NET installer to the setup projects output directory and from requirements on target machine tab I set the install URL property of .NET framework the exact name of offline setup file. As described in the figure.
So the installer does not try to connect to a remote computer to download .NET framework and install it however I think it is more appropriate that it connects to a Microsoft server and installs it. Anyways the next step is to configure the MySQL server. MySQL is really generous for me since they support a fully documented noinstall files. You can find the document here: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/windows-install-archive.html
Using a noinstall zip archive you can copy the dbengine core files to any folder on the clint machine. And change the configuration parameters of MySQL. You can name the MySQL service anything you want. Start the the service and create tables. You can do all of this stuff from custom actions tab of the setup project choosing the appropriate script files or you can write code for it. The beautiful thing is that your customer does not need to know that he/she is installing a database engine on the target machine. I hope this helps. Thanks.
I have a .NET application which uses an accdb file (MS Access 2007 format) as its database. To install this app on another machine I need to install the Access engine on that machine. Microsoft has this file: AccessDatabaseEngine.exe which includes the engine, but when extracted during installation, runs another .msi installer.
As you can guess, since this msi is run during the installation of another msi (my app's installer) the Access engine setup fails with error 1500: "Another installation is in progress. Finish that one before continuing this one..."
I found the Runtime for Access 2007 as well, and it does install the engine, but the Runtime package is again an msi installer which means I'm still having the same problem.
Any ideas to include the engine in my app's installer?
You probably want to have a look at this article: Adding Programs to Access 2007 Deployment Packages
The Access Developer Extensions offer a basic but functional installer that can take care of the general deployment scenarios.
The best think would be to build your own msi pack including needed access files. You could use a product like VERITAS Wininstall. You have this "Discover" method that allows you to build a fully operationial .msi file by (1) taking 2 snapshots of your system (one before the installation, one after) then (2) creating the .msi file corresponding to the installation process.
Anyway, I'd advise you to have multiple packs, one for Access, that can be installed with a "for all users" option when the computer joins your company's domain, one for your app. By doing so you will be able to distribute new versions of your app without redistributing Access, which takes a few mega of space as well as a few minutes of user's most precious time).
Sio if Microsoft already delivers an Access Runtime msi package, just keep it 'as is' and distribute it automatically on your network when a new machine joins the domain.
I wouldn't recommend WinInstall, we have it in my office and we have to keep calling them in to package stuff for us as it's so finiky to use. Some things they haven't been able to package at all. WISE Studio is better or a free alternative is AppDeploy whihc I have heard great things about.
I found this software called "Bootstrapper Manifest Generator" or BMG. It helps create a prerequisite package using an MSI or EXE installer file, and adds it to VS2008 Prerequisites dialog box in Setup and Deployment projects. Although it's not that user friendly, it does the job. It's on MSDN: code.msdn.microsoft.com/bmg
Thought it's good to save others from going through all the trouble.
