With Vista we are having a permission denied error when an application tries to change properties of a file in Program Data folder... before replacing with a newer version of the file.Changing of security permissions for a standard user is not an option. Is there a way we can grant the premissions for an application developed in VB .net to give permission only to change properties of this file.
View 4 RepliesI've encountered several scenarios when my application wants to delete an item, but is prevented from doing so by the operating system. So I've been wondering, is it possible to ask for elevated status after the application has launched? E.g. the application needs to delete a certain file, so it asks for confirmation and then deletes the file...

I developed an assistance programme for an online game, and, in response to the users demands, I developed a secondary programme that downloads a zip file from a webpage hosted in a free Geocities server with the latest update for the programme and applies it. With the WinXP users it has worked perfectly, but with the Vista users, I've had a few cases where the update programme wasn't able to download the update, although everything worked fine with other uses.
View 2 RepliesI am trying to build a self-updating .NET application that will run in an environment with limited user accounts. No admin rights here. The application must run on Vista and XP, and probably Win 7 when it comes out.An X-copy deployment would be fine. I would prefer NOT to use click-once.So far I have tried a system where the application checks a manifest and downloads updated binaries, which worked great in development, but not so much when the app was installed.Vista refuses to to let me copy files to Program Files. After that, I tried downloading an updated .msi, which works except that the MSI has a UAC prompt -- no go if the user does not have an account with local admin privileges.
running the program in AppData and using the x-copy method might work, but I have not seen anyone say that they have tried it and it did work. Will that work for an account without admin rights? Can anyone vouch for this method before I start writing more code?
I have a user of one of my programs reporting that they get an "access to the path...is denied" error during this section of [code]He's using Windows 7 x64 with UAC turned on. The location of "FilePath" is a subdirectory inside Program Files (x86) in this case.I tried to reproduce the error on my Windows 7 x64 system by enabling UAC (I usually have it off) but the program worked fine. However, in my case, "FilePath" is not in a protected system folder like Program Files (where write permissions are not given to normal users without admin elevation).So I tried to recreate this situation on one of my Vista x86 Virtual PCs where the "FilePath" would be inside Program Files. However, my program again worked fine. It had no problems writing to the Program Files folder with a normal user account, UAC turned on and no elevated permissions required.
Thus, I am confused. Why does it work for me and not for him? I want to try an x64 virtual machine but I can't with the software I have (Virtual PC doesn't support x64 guest OSs, VirtualBox won't run the software that my program interacts with). So maybe you guys can help me instead. Are the write permissions for the Program Files (x86) folder different between x86 and x64, or maybe even Vista and 7?
I 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.
My application (vb.net) sometimes throws an "access denied" exception when attempting to delete files in the AppData folder and I'm not sure why.I confirm that the file exists before attempting to delete it and have not done anything to make it readonly, etcThe interesting thing is that it seems to go okay when I'm logged in with Admin rights

View 1 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.

I have the need to run my application as Administrator, preferably without prompting the user each time. I'd be ok with a one-time deal, but each time would get old
Application is writing some text files to a user-defined directory (which in some cases is a "protected" directory, like C:Directory). It's throwing all kinds of "Access Denied" errors at runtime.
Is there a registry entry I can insert at installation to escalate the application when ran? or escalate the UAC level in a config file somewhere?
A program that will start at startup. How do i do. I dont want it to be in autostart folder casue it got many dll´s and its not a god idead to create a chirtcut in the autostart folder either.

View 2 RepliesAt the moment I'm working on an app that has a few buttons. I'd like to have one of those buttons launch an app (that will be included with the app I'm creating) as administrator. How do I do this? Is there a way to make it so that it can be run relative to my app (So it doesn't matter where my app is located, so long as the other app I'm trying to launch is in the same folder or a subfolder.)Also, I'd like to know if I could make it launch the other app with a sort of "virtual right click and run as admin". This app will only be used on Windows 7 and due to restrictions set on the PC's, you cannot run the apps just by double clicking on them. However, if you right click and select "run as administrator" the app runs, without any user input (ie. you have to put in the administrator's password). So in short, I'm looking to emulate this with code when a user clicks a button.

but it will only delete the old app if it has admin rights. how can you start (compile) a app with admin right in vb 2008. how to compile app with admin rights.

View 8 RepliesOk so here's the issue. I created a program that installs software that users select. I have my programs manifest set so that it will request Admin access to load in 7 and Vista if UAC is enabled (Since admin access is required to install software). I would like to give the user a option to start my program when windows starts but since the program requires admin access (UAC Promt) 7 and Vista will block it from starting. So my question is how could i trigger a (UAC promt) to elevate privileges on start up rather then in the manifest this is how CCleaner is able to be a start up program i believe.
