Deployment Blues

Too much trouble trying to deploy the Tablet PC app by remote deployment from my laptop.

First there were the network/sharing issues to overcome. Which I did not really enjoy after like 2hrs ... yes short patience span.

Next was the whole issue of some JIT execption. Going to try to install VS.NET on the tablet and see how it goes. I do not have a docking station and the tablet does not have a cd drive. Therefore I need to copy the entire VS.NET suite from cd to a physical directory on my laptop and expose it as a virtual directory for my tablet to download from my laptop.

No a fun task to do when you need to copy VS.NET (over 1GB and zip it up.) My WinRaR is working overdrive.

It's not meant to be ... VS.NET would not like me copy it into a directory from CD to hard-disk. Got prompted with this error.



Just not my day ... yet :)

Not going to the gym this evening, maybe I need to go for mass this evening and the city to get some air.

Done this before. Shouldn't be a problem. It appears as if maybe the disk is damaged somehow. I guess the easiest way to install VS in your situation is simply to share the CD-ROM drive on yoru laptop/PC and do a network install. Done this at least 100 times on different machines so I'm pretty sure this does work. Good luck!

Hey Stanley, could use some help here. Can you advise what do you go about going a network installation? Both the laptop and tablet are connected to my uni LAN and have their own unique ip address.
