I have a finished program that I want to deploy to another computer. My professors told me an installer is required, so I tried my best to research, and came up with this:

That was a tutorial video, (he used Visual Studio 2008) and I tried to follow it as best as I could. However, the problem was that the tutorial only showed a basic program, and my program requires a folder named App_Data and all the files inside. It was in my bin/Debug folder, so I just assumed I could add it to my setup, along with the Project Output.

The installer did its job, however when trying to run my program, it won't start, and returns the following error:

Description:
Stopped working

Problem signature:

Problem Signature 08: 15a
Problem Signature 09: System.UnauthorizedAccess
OS Version: 6.1.7600.2.0.0.256.1

I am using Windows 7, 32-bit. Tried running it as Administrator, but it still crashed. I also used Crystal Reports on my program, but from what I understood, I can install and run the program fine without it, and only the parts that require the Crystal Report won't work.

Any help on this matter would be appreciated. Thanks.

I'd just like to add something:

Debugging the program in C# yields me a System.UnauthorizedAccessException

Add the files in the App_Data by adding as the file, Don't add as project output

Great! Thanks, samueal.
