[@elifeleth]

[@noriandris]

Glad it helped!

Our dear professor, we thank you for this effort. Good luck and success. Please, I have a question. I have completed a project containing employee data and an image in the Access database with Visual Basic. When I package the project, I receive an error message: Access to the image path is denied.

[@HabeshaTechTips]

Try adding the image itself to the access database, not its path. There are simple ways that convert the image and store it in the DB. Google how to add an image into access DB. Hope that helps

In the path: "Dialogs -> Finish: Run Application" there's a field named "Argument". Can we write an argument in it so that the program runs as administrator by default? If so what argument? If not, is there any other way for that?

Ok now i know how to do but how YOU did the apps bc i can't build mine i need to know how you did your apps for the installer (setup.exe)

[@tmahmadplayer]

i was wanna ask if there is another program can make compress before build file setup like zip and rar for make files smaller size

[@HabeshaTechTips]

You need to provide all your program files in their raw uncompressed format for the setup to be created correctly. If you compress your files prior to building your setup, you'll get an error in which the OS will be unable to read setup package. The program by itself has compression options in the build tab to help your setup package have a smaller file size, so try those.

@@HabeshaTechTips is that program has virus when i put files in total virus its out to me much of virus and too the files setup i made by it become has much virus too i has made small game and wanna to make for if setup file when i made it its become has much of virus on total virus so if you who made that program or can connect with who made it tell to virus problem virus inside ifsetup files

[@HabeshaTechTips]

I haven't had any issues with it relating to Virus do far and I'm using ESET Smart Security. So, might be your antivirus program flagging a false positive. Try and scan it using other antivirus softwares.

[@swirly8993]

How could I set the installation path to a specific folder? Is there a keyword for the user path that makes it so that it will install it to the default user of the computer?

[@Arsen_2005]

Thanks So Much!

[@fizzygamer1155]

is there anyway to make the installation path a folder where if the name changes it still applies?

[@HabeshaTechTips]

I don't understand your question? Do you mean will the program still run if you change the name of its installation folder?

[@りさ-m1e]

There are multiple folders which have folders within them too, do i have to add them all?

[@HabeshaTechTips]

yes, assuming they are necessary for your app to function.

[@rijanregmi842]

bro I have 1 issue if I go to the file location there the folder is empty no files and folders are available help me out please.

[@ll22lcj115]

can you teach us where we can download some .exe apps or setup.exe like making a 1 installer application for programming languages please help me😢😢😢

[@CapPat855]

bro what are you saying

[@noriandris]

Bro! Chrome think that the file was a virus, but it wasn't! I gasped!

[@HabeshaTechTips]

I had the same reaction when I first tried it... with it being free and all, it comes off as suspicious at first but yeah, it's completely clean and an awesome tool for developers.

[@vulturepcs]

​@@HabeshaTechTips i used install forge for my open source antivirus c# solution, and when i opened the new install file, it said it contained a virus when everything in the repo is clean.

[@shaikhzeeshan6350]

@@vulturepcs can u tell me how u made,any suggestion or advice, much appreciated! I am also trying it!

[@SebATRT]

Says it is blocked by chrome for containing dangerous files.

[@HabeshaTechTips]

I've had no problems with it so far and I've been using it for at least 7 years and none of the antivirus programs had found problems with it. So, it might be Chrome just freaking out. May be download it using other browsers and scan it with your antivirus programs for your peace of mind.

[@CarolBope12]

pls don't put malware on my computer

[@gut1255]

hi

[@GREGDGamer1]

wait isnt install forge a virus?

[@cor583]

No

[@guidingfartreal]

it just says *Setup Error! Could not read setup package!* . what can i do?

[@HabeshaTechTips]

If you're getting that error while trying to run the setup file you've created, then it means you haven't created the setup file correctly or your program files are incomplete. Hope this helps.
