After making changes/updates to my VS solution, I can update the AI version and the product code updates automatically, which is great. I can then build the solution, which includes the AI project, all from withing VS. I don't need to open the AI GUI. It would be great to have an 'Open Output Folder...

Thanks for the reply. AI created that extra folder in 'Files and Folders' and I just confirmed it. Opened my VS solution. Added new AI project & saved it. Opened the new project in AI and changed Install Parameters > Application folder to '[ProgramFilesFolder]MACS\' and saved the project. Back t...

For one client we have several related apps. So, they are installed under a common folder in ProgramFilesFolder, like C:\Program Files (x86)\<OurCommonfolder>\<App1Folder>\App1.exe C:\Program Files (x86)\<OurCommonfolder>\<App2Folder>\App2.exe and so forth. Prior versions were deployed with a setup ...

This works as, when I run ngen display <application folder\my exe>, it displays roots and native image. When I run my app, I don't see any difference in startup. How can i tell if...

When there are changes to my VS project output (E.G. references updated, added or removed), will AI automatically handle that? Or do I need to update Files and Folders manually?

alphonseg

Thanks for the reply. I don't see how my VS solution/project could have used the wrong file. If you check the 2 files that I sent, you will see that the date created on both is identical, but the date updated on the one opened via VS, is 10 minutes later. It could also not have to do with the backup...

I started an AI project via VS 2017. I then upgraded it to professional, made all of my changes, additions, etc. Built it and tested a deployment. Worked fine. However, when I open the project from within my VS solution, the entire project is reset. All of my changes, additions are completely gone a...

Thanks for the reply. I do understand that the tasks 'can' be accomplished.
What I am saying is that there should be consistency between the 2 GUI's.
Also, that 'Add Project Output' should allow placing 'Content' to a different folder without one needing to select each file individually.
