ASP.net: Cannot Write To App_Data Folder - Access Is Denied
Dec 13, 2010
Typical problem, but I've done everything I can possibly think of to get this to work. I set the NETWORK SERVICE and ASPNET accounts to FULL CONTROL on my PC. I'm using the built-in Cassini web server to test my application, with no luck. I even tried to make a folder outside of the APP_DATA folder, and is still says Access is Denied.
I am the owner of the directory I am running an executable in VS and I have the following error: 'Access to the path "'c:usersenee' is denied.' The OS is Windows 7 and I have the UAC turned off.
I'm writing an FTP module for my app. When it's finished, I'm going to set it up so that I can use it in all my applications that require FTP, but I'm having a problem...
Why am I denied access to a folder which earlier code created? When I run this code an error is issues stating I am denied access to infopath is generated.
Ok I know this question has been asked to death but I still have not seen a good answer. I have created an application in VS2010 using VB.NET. In my application I have an error log that is an XML file located in the Public gstLocalErrorLogLocation As String = Application.StartupPath & "ErrorLog"that gets written to in the event of an error so I can trouble shoot application easier. My application also downloads files from our FTP site and puts the files in Public gstLocalDownloadLocation As String = Application.StartupPath & "download"So I have files that get read and written to as well and created and deleted all in the Application.StartupPath which is either "c:Program Files(Application Directory)(Some Directory)(Some File)" or "c:Program Files (x86)(Application Directory)(Some Directory)(Some File)" depending on 32bit or 64bit Windows 7.
After creating the setup I install it on my test machine that have both Windows 7 32bit and 64bit.Everything in the application works great till I have to write to, delete or creat a file in those directories above. I know it is an access issue and the UAC. This will get installed on numerous systems so the options I have seen to change file or folder permission on the computers manually is not an option.What has to happen is after I install the application it just works like when you install it on XP. Some post have suggested that you us a user with administrator privilages or group which is all fine and dandy but the user I have used to test the application has all of that.
So what I am asking is how do you create an application with VS2010 in VB.NET that after creating a setup package and installing on Windows 7 will just work with out "Access to the path c:Program Files(Application Directory)(Some Directory)(Some File) is denied." If I have to install this on 100 Windows 7 computers it has to be a concreate no manually doing anything just install and work like when we installed on XP.
I've looked for code on this, and it seems needlessly confusing to me. I've tried some code I found and it doesn't return the proper value (I can't find the link to it now). So, I'm attempting to avoid that which I do not understand by writing a function that creates then deletes a file:
Friend Function GetFolderAccess(ByVal sDirectory As String) As Boolean Try Dim fs As New FileStream(sDirectory & " estfile.test", FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.ReadWrite) Dim s As New StreamWriter(fs)
[code]....
Through testing, this appears to work for both read and write access. I originally had a File.Exists before the File.Delete, but the function would sometimes return True when it should have returned False.
I am just trying to get to grips with the setup tool in visual studio and seem to be making progress but im falling over with access permissions.My projects includes an mdf table and when i install my project the folder and db file is always set to read only and the application cannot write to it.How can i change or set the permission when the application is installed?
I have an email account. I need to write some code that looks for any new email message on it and in case there is, it saves the attachment in a particular destination.
I've made an app that first extracts an iso file to a folder. Say the folder is "ExtractedIsoDir", this folder is created in the same directory as the app.
Inside the iso are only folders, so you get a structure like "ExtractedIsoDirFolder1", "ExtractedIsoDirFolder2" etc.[code]...

screwed up User Access Control, some functionality does not inherit the accounts true privileges. I built a Command Prompt application and ran it from an Admin account, but I kept getting access denied when I ran it. The only work around I can find for now to shut the dam thing off in control panel.

I am having a problem with my application I encounter this problem in windows 7 only but in windows XP it is working fine. When I install my application onwindows 7, any file must have an option when I right-click the any files. Here is the code of my project:
Dim WP As RegistryKey = Registry.ClassesRoot.CreateSubKey("*\shell\Upload through ACE\command") WP.SetValue("", Application.ExecutablePath & " " & Chr(34) & "%1" & Chr(34))
infile = New FileStream(SOURCE_FILE, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.Read) ' Open the file as a FileStream object.
I am receiving the error message, Access to the path '....' is denied. I have gone through the file/folder properties of my target folders and I thought I gave full access to the items I am targetting but it doesn't seem to help. What else should I try to avoid this error?

ran into an issue but i have no idea why. I made a program that reads in a text file. I tested the program and it worked perfectly.

I attempted to run the program right in VS because it had worked fine before and now even in that i am getting an error saying it cant access the text file. I dont know why it did work and now suddenly it

I am trying to write some code to read the application pools from a remote machine and then eventually I will want to recycle one of the pools. I am trying to use the following code to retrieve the application pools, however I am getting an Access Denied error on the For Each line. There is no inner exception, so that is all I have to work with.
Dim connection As New ConnectionOptions connection.Username = "administrator" connection.Password = "password"
[code]....
The account I am trying with right now is the box administrator account.The machine is not part of a domain and it is windows 2003 server with the firewall off.I know the username and password are correct, because if they are not I get an error on the Scope.Connect() line.I even rebooted after that change, just to be sure, but still no luck.
