.net – How to deploy a VB.Net 1.1 app with no manufacturer set

We have all of our code deployed in MSIs using Setup Factory. If something has to change we redeploy the entire solution. This sounds like overkill for a css file, but it absolutely keeps all environments in sync, and we know exactly what is in production (we deploy to all test and uat environments the same way).

I don't quite understand, but I'll take a shot.

This will check to see if C:\foo\somefile.txt exists, and if it doesn't, create it and write some text:

If Not System.IO.File.Exists("C:\foo\somefile.txt") = True Then
    Dim file As System.IO.FileStream
    file = System.IO.File.Create("C:\foo\somefile.txt")
    file.Close()
End If
My.Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllText("C:\foo\somefile.txt", "Some text")

If you want to copy or move a file, I think you'll want something like:

System.IO.File.Copy("C:\foo\somefile.txt", "C:\bar\somefile.txt")

or

System.IO.File.Move("C:\foo\somefile.txt", "C:\bar\somefile.txt")
