One of my testers is testing my program that imports an XML file and puts all the data into correct fields in an Access database. He said on his Vista laptop he got an error saying: "Microsoft.jet.OLEDB.4.0 provider is not registered on local machine"
I know you don't have to have Access installed to run my program and I'm pretty sure all the OLEDB objects are in the .NET framework so why is it saying that?

View 6 RepliesI have an app written on an xp pc which I want users to run on Vista
The app needs to delete a file on a portable drive in a particular folder
This folder was created on the xp machine and copied to the portable drive
The app will not delete a file in this folder on Vista but it will on xp
When I check folder security on vista (which does not exist on xp) I find that the folder does not have full control assigned
my app will write a file to that folder & delete it but will not delete a file put there from the xp pc
If I change the security in vista to full control it works
what I want to do is see if the folder has full control when the user selects it and advise them they need to alter security as I can not do it in the program
basically I want to advise them the moment they select the folder, not when it fails to delete the file after entering misc details in the app which are reuired before the file is deleted.

View 2 RepliesI have a program runs with access database. It runs ok on WINXP. However, when I run it on Vista, it shows this exception: system.InvalidOperationException: The 'Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0' provider is not registered on the local machine.
I searched, it seems the exception has some relations with 64bit OS, but my vista is 32bit home version.
right now, im using Windows Vista.. in Windows XP, deleting a file is working with this code System.IO.File.Delete("C: estdelete.jpg") But in Windows Vista, i encounter this message: Access to the path 'C: estdelete.jpg' is denied. why its happening? what is the solution for this?

View 5 RepliesI am been working on an a small app that has a Forms.Webbrowser control that navigates to a Adobe Flash program. I have developed the app on Vista 32bit platform and have had no problems. I have sent the app to a couple of people to test out and one is using Vista 64bit and is running into a problem. I know the webbrowser control just uses the underlying base framework of IE. The problem on the 64 bit machine is when the site is navigated to it says that it needs to have Flash installed. When the user goes to Adobe's site it says they need to use a 32bit browser.
As stated on Adobe site here:[URL] the Flash player need to be in a 32 bit browser. What options do I have to be able fix this problem? Is there another control that I can use that would be the same in a 32bit platform and 64bit platform? Besides navigating to the Flash program, the browser also goes to standard web pages.

View 5 Repliesi have created some shareware applications. I implemented the following mechanism for piracy protection. Before Windows Vista and Windows 7 i did write a dll file to the System32 folder with an encrypted license key. Also in the Registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE i inserted a registry key.
The problem is that with Windows Vista and Windows 7 due to the User Account Control (UAC) this is denied.
I want to ask : what other mechanism can be implemented ? Where should i store the encrypted key file and the registry key.
I want that the application can be installed for all users of a computer only once.
If i stored the key in the user's application data directory then another user could easily just install it under another user account. Also i do not want to put the key file in the application directory because that would be too obvious.
note that i create the registry key with my application and not with the installer.

I'm working on some legacy VB5/VB6 code and need to convert a ".bas" file to vb.net. i found several options
Compile the .bas file into a com dll and then reference and use it in my project. (For this I guess I would need vb5 or vb6 which I don't have at my disposal) Copy and paste the contents of the file in to a new module in vb.net and then try solving the errors one by one.The contents of the .bas file reference a particular dll. The .bas file has mostly declarations consts, types, sub's and functions.
What would be the most elegant way of redoing this in vb.net. Is it as simple as option 2.EDIT
I used VS2008 express and ran the code through the upgrade wizard it did the necessary conversion. and the .bas file was converted to .vb. I took that file and decided to rewrite other parts of the code, including some redoing of the converted .vb file. Other questions related to this one are here.
I have been tasked to convert out VB6 program to VB.NET. In my research online everyone seems to say I need to go through my code and get rid of any Variants I have. I have had pretty good luck so far, but I am having an issue in replacing this one.
[code]...
I am still pretty new to VB (either 6 or .net) and I am having a hard time finding an alternative for this. Will the convert tool in VB.net handle this just fine? Or do I need to change this? If I do, is there a better alternative for this? Forgive my noobness.
As I wanted to benefit from new multicore threading improvements from .Net Framework 4, I recompiled all of my solution projects from 3.5 to 4.Everything compiled Ok. But what was my surprise to see that my application runs much slower when compiled in .Net 4 compared to 3.5. I was not expecting that at all. It is a scientific processing App, so computing time is what it's all about. I have no clue where to start from, and for the time being, and I prefer to think that I have missed something during the migration process, that is fixable, rather than the App is "per se" running slower in .4 (can't see any logical reason for that...)
