I need my application to update as it is on multiple computers. Will the program update and work if I just replaced the files in the application startup folder with the files from the newer version's application startup folder?

I'm trying to create a 'trial version' for a software of mine, currently it is pay-only. Basically the most efficient way I can think of is to simply change the startup form of the trial version after 15 days. The new startup form will simply be a request to register.
-How can I change the startup form after 15 days?
-How can I ensure that this cannot be changed afterwards (so it isn't easily pirated).
in the current project im making i've decided to add in some tools, 1 of which is a renamer based of a renamer app that already exists (called scdtoolz), i want to build my own version of it so i can learn some new things, and build a nice GUI version of it.[code]So what i have managed to determine is that the current app scans the folders contents for the CRC32 Checksum, and renames based of that, since the 456.bin's CRC32 Checksum was 2274F80B, and in the text file 2274F80B is found here 'WWF - Rage in the Cage (T-81015)(U)#2274F80B#'So now i have determined game identification is based of the CRC32 checksums, how would i go about coding a similar ap in vb.net?first i need to make the app scan a folder, but how to return crcchecksum? and then rename if check = XXXX? If MD4 sums are easier/simpler i can use those instead, im lookin at a few hash app sources now, so i think i can see how to get the md5 but not the crc32 yet, or how to rename the 2 files and folder based of the text file.

View 9 RepliesI wrote an application that copies files from Folder(A) into Folder (B) First it checks if the files exists if yes it will copy them and it will over write the them in fodler (B) and is working great , but if I have a file in Folder(B)that is located in a subfolder the file inFolder (A) will not be copied to the new location.

I'm trying to modify an app.config file that is not part of my .net application.My key needs to be unique and appear under a static key (Server1 or Server2) as the other application reads these values line by line, associating the database(n) value with the server(n) value.I cannot see a method of using the standard app.config methods against an external .config file, so I'm using the Xml Document class.[code]But cannot find a method of retriving the Key to check if it exists and more importantly increment the value?
View 1 RepliesI have a windows application developed in VB.net 2005. The application is installed in several machines.Is there anyway when I do any modifications and publish the code it updates in all the machines.
PS: All the machines are connected to internet.
I have an application which takes input on a local machine and sends it to a database stored on a server. I'd like to be able to deploy my application over a number of computers (all on the same network), all of them updating the same database (on the network server).First of all, will this be possible without putting together a completely new application to handle all connections to the database and sorting the entries?
View 7 RepliesI've seen a lot of the "auto version" update add-ons for VS, and well I decided to write one for myself. It's manually triggered, but put as a external tool in the IDE it works rather nice. I based it off of reading the AssemblyInfo.vb file for a project (so at the moment it only works in VB not C#). So my app (given certian parameters) will auto increment the FileVersion and Assembly version together, so they stay the same through out. (it simpler for me that way). But i noticed a little issue with this method of reading the assemblyinfo.vb file, changing the values and saving the file and then forcing a "Rebuild" of the project.
When I go to Explorer, right-click | Properties on the file, in the Version tab, the "AssemblyVersion" has not changed, where the Product and File Version has. so for example I've got Test.Exe I open up the project properties and set via the UI the versions to:

I have done quite a few google searches and have found nothing to interesting or useful but I did find out that there is two main ways of doing this registry or startup folder and im more pulled into the startup folder because I dont think that I yet know enough about controlling the registry to be confident of using code like that, so I fall to my other alternative using the startup folder to trigger my program, I read somewhere that this doessn not work for vista but im not sure of that. What I would like to as is how you actually create a shortcut as I cant really understand VB6 Code very well its all I could find.
i want the program to run on startup using the startup folder, NOT the registry.i cannot find anything on the startup folder.whenever people ask about the startup folder, all the replies are about the registry. i am beginning to think that the startup folder is some kind of government secret.
View 1 RepliesI was having trouble before editing the registry on a WPF application I'm working on, in order to get autostart to work, so I ended up creating a shortcut in the startup folder to automatically start the application. My problem is, that this not working on Windows 7 (and Im guessing Vista too). Here's my code. Does Environment.SpecialFolder.Startup not work on Windows 7?
Dim PathToStartupFolder As String = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Startup)
If File.Exists(PathToStartupFolder & "Application.Exe.LNK") = False Then
Dim ShellObject As New IWshRuntimeLibrary.WshShell

how can I get the shared startup folder? My application is set to add a shortcut to the startup folder, but it isnly for that user, and I'd like it to automatically start for any user on the machine.I know you can do this by adding a registry key, but I'm having trouble getting my registry key code to work in this WPF app.
