View 3 RepliesMy program runs under a limited account, and uses impersonation to access admin codeI also have a program in the same folder, that my program runs sometimes when it exitsBoth exe files are in the same folder in the "Program Files" folderIf I try to run the other file, I get a not found error.If I Raise the first program to admin (even though it should already have admin rights due to impersonate) it can run the second file.1. I don't want to raise to admin.2. I'm using the full path and file name to the file.3. That do i need so that dot net can find the file so that it runs.

View 11 RepliesI created an app that connects to an SqlCe database. it runs fine on my computer (xp) but when i try to run it on other computers, it crashes (on xp machine, the error is : OS error: the OS storage system is not responding, on windows 7 the error is: Access to the database file is not allowed).
On windows 7, if i right click the exe and run as administrator, it runs fine. But, i can't expect my users to do this every time they want to run my app.
I have a program for playing MP3 files using Media Player. The program developed originally under Vista using VBExpress 2010 works fine.
But when I run it under Win7 parts of the program don't work. In both cases the audio is played OK but under Win7 the 'playstatechange' events don't seem to happen!?!
I have put a breakpoint in event and under Vista the events happen...under Win7 the breakpoint is never reached. In both cases I am using VB Express 2010 and running under the debugger. I have seen this problem reported before in the forums but no answer was apparent.
VB 2008 - I would like to retrieve the Vista Version my app is running under. I understand the System.Environment.OSVersion.Version.Major/Minor/Build but I have a number of Vista Systems, some x86 and some x64. A mixture of Home/Business/Ultimate. Is there a way to recover more detailed info such as "Vista Ultimate x64 SP1" or do I need to poke around in the Registry?

I still have the error showing.Is there some other configuration to do on a Vista machine to be able to run a remote VB.NET application ?

View 4 RepliesI though vista came with .net framework 3.0 right? how come a vista user can't run an application i made with:
Imports System.Net
Imports System.IO
Imports Microsoft.Win32
these are all .net imports right? what's wrong?
I'm running an application under an account that is not the account logged-on to the PC.
Within the application I need check if the logged-on user is a member of the Administrators group. Below is the code I'm using. From what I've read, WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent() should return an object associated with the logged-on user. It doesn't, it returns the same information as the call to System.Threading.Thread.CurrentPrincipal. Which is the information associated to the ID running the application, not the logged-on user.

My application is like this : i have to search my data from database with some check box and text box when user select check box specific function go on and then when user enters some range of value in textbox then the result will shown in data grid view after that i can print it by selecting data
my vb.net code is as follow:
Imports System.Data
Imports System.Data.SqlClient
Public Class XtraForm1
[CODE]............
I m also pasting the demo picture.
Within the application, I need to have two levels of access: Standard User and Power User,for example.These two levels can have the same access level within Windows.It is not my intention to elevate to administratoWhat is needed, is a way to have two different groups of users.ne group will be able to run the application while a second group has access to additional features within the application but not within the windows environment
It is my hope that there will be two user account types: 1) Standard User and 2) some other user type such as Power User or something else that will distinguish it from Standard User
I have a program that has been running well under both Windows XP and Vista. Recently I tried installing the software on a Vista x64 machine and the program keeps crashing at runtime. I have tried running in Windows XP compatability mode and other solutions but nothign works. If I run it on the machine under Virtual PC using Windows XP I have no problems. The only two clues I have are these 1)One of the error messages I got when the program crashed said "missing dll file" and 2) the error log viewer shows that the error involves kernel32.dll This problem feels like it is way out of my league ont face value.

I have a working version of what I need written in VB6, I've tried converting the code from vb6 to .net with no luck. Basically I have a few server applications I would like to display the status of, if they're running or not. Then with a few buttons to start/stop the application accordingly.
