Application Running A Silent Install Of An MSI - (how To Disable Open File - Security Warning)
Jun 1, 2010
I am writing a small visual basic application to install clean up tools quickly on any machines that we need to work on here at my workplace. I am using 4-5 cleanup programs that I have packaged into MSI's and have batch scripts that I am calling in my visual basic application to run them as silent installs. However, because I am doing the silent installs, windows always pops up with the "open file - security warning" and I have to click run for each individual program. I am wondering how to get around this from my end within the application. I know it can be disabled in windows but I am not wanting to have to go through a process on every machine that I run this program on. I would like to find a fix on the back end in my script.
When you download the .msi from our website and try to run it, you are presented with this very unfriendly message (attached). I'm using an Installer deployment project in VB.Net 2005 Pro - is there something I can do to avoid this error?
I am trying to build a simple AutoUpdate application using VB.NET. It was quite simple. That is, I put the newest ZIP file in my hosting site, and then download it using WebClient.DownloadFileAsync. After it get downloaded, I extract it using [URL]
But each time I run the unzip.exe using Process.start, Windows 7 always show Open File Security.
Is it possible for VB.NET to bypass such security restriction?
Btw, this is my code of using WebClient.DownloadFileAsync, in case any one google about it and landed on this page :
Public Class AutoUpdate Dim installationFolder As String = "C:Program Filesxyzabc" Dim updateFileNameTarget As String Private Sub btnStartUpdte_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnStartUpdte.Click
I am trying to clean up my code in a project I have been working on by creating two separate modules one that disables a service and one that enables a service through the registry all of this worked fine in one big form all together but I would like to also reuse the module in some other projects, I am getting this message however "Warning1Function 'ApplicationLayerGatewayDisable' doesn't return a value on all code paths. A null reference exception could occur at run time when the result is used". [Code]. what do i need to do to get rid of these warnings ? or do I just ignore them?
I have a service I have written in VB.NET In the past I have always done the installs (internal app), so I have the install set to User, and when I do:
InstallUtil "C:MyService.exe"
It prompts me for the Account and Password, and I am using the local administrator (.administrator)I am setting up an installation script now that the user's can just run to install, and I don't want to give them the administrator password. Is there a silent way to include the user/password in the command line?
I have created a .exe that uses My.Computer.FileSystem and now receive an error "Open File - Security Warning" dialog starting: "The publisher could not be verified."
The file is located on a Windows File Server under ADS on a mapped drive. It was created under VB2005 and the .exe was copied using Windows Explorer drag and drop to the mapped drive. If I select to Run the file I get a security error. Same problem happens with new Access MDBs stored on the same file server. I have backed off all the IE zone settings to no avail. ADS security properties look like I have permission to run OK.
Files (exe and mdb) run fine from the desktop. I'm guessing somehow the files are being flagged as coming from the Internet instead of from the LAN. MS KB suggestion indicates there is a file property that appears indicating Internet origin - that is not showing up. IE 7 Beta 2 is installed. This error is suspending project work!
I have developed a windows application which connects to Oracle Database and upload and retrieve data (using System.Data.OracleClient). It is working fine in my developement system. When I build a setup and deploy in another system, it is giving error that Oracle Client is missing.
Do I have to install Oracle Client in the client system to run my application? (When I visit Oracle site for Oracle Client, it is asking me to download a 200 MB file)
Is there any other way to do this with out installing Oracle Client in the client system?

Hi All,Out of the blue VS 2008 has started showing a security warning dialog every time I create a new project or open an existing one as follows:"The {application name} project file has been customized and could present a security risk by executing custom build steps when opened in Microsoft Visual Studio. If this project came from an untrustworthy source, it could cause damage to your computer or compromise your private information."Two options given are:1) Load Project for Browsing2) Load Project NormallyA 'More Details' button opens a message box with:"An item referring to the file "" was found in the project file "C:UsersAdministratorAppDataLocalTemporary ProjectsWindowsApplication1WindowsApplication1.vbproj". Since this file is located in a system directory, root directory or network share it could be harmful to write to this file."1) I havent changed any settings since before getting this error and have kept all directories the same2) file locations are in "C:UsersAdministratorDocumentsVisual Studio 2008" - with full permissions3) Vista UAC is turned off4) I am using the Administrator login5) I tried Tools>Options>Projects and Solutions>General - and un-checked "Warn user when the project location is not trusted" -
I have a folder save here: C:MyFiles/And in that folder I have a few .txt files.I am looking to see what would be the best way to open each .txt file in that folder and search for the value Error or Warning and then when it does it must tell me what files do contain those words.What would be my best option? To create a Stored Procedure with t-sql to do this? or To create a .exe with C# or VB.net code.

Is there any way to disable a specific warning. For example, in one of my classes are re-implement System.ICloneable.Clone. After doing so I now get a warning that states, "'System.ICloneable.Clone' from 'implements System.ICloneable' is already implemented by the base class 'XXX'. Re-implementation of function assumed." Is there any way to remove this warning from the Error List

When I open VB projects in Visual Studio 2005 and attempt to view a form view designer I have started getting "File Download - Security Warning" Message prompting a .tmp file in the location of my project. If I close all open designers and rebuild the project I am then able to open the designers OK.I saw a suggestion to 'restore file associations' in Visual Studio and tried this but with no success.

I am coding an API providing some functionalities for sending and receiving email on outlook programmatically.The functionalittes I need work fin in my API but each time the API wants to access each mail item's details user gets a dialog box propt from outlook asking for confirmation which is annoying because the API has a timer to run every 5 minutes to check the inbox of outlook to see if any new email has come to the inbox and if yes doing some checking on emails and storing the emails information behind the sceen.
There fore I need to disable the security dialog box programmatically while the code is running in my API.I know there are some packages for sale to manage this (such as Outlook Security Manager)

I've used Visual Basic on and off for years, but for some reason this has never crossed my path, though it's probably relatively simple.
I have a program which runs in the background, in the System Tray. (Which is to say it has a NotifyIcon and is Hiding.) Using the Registy, I've added a new item to the right-click menu for certain files (for example PDF) which reads "Accept".
The goal is to have this open the file in my program and have it run the script. The script itself works flawlessly with an Open Dialog box - all it does is change the "comments" on the file. But I can't for the life of me figure out how to do it without the dialog box.

I had the error on my computer running Windows XP. I am use to that, so I went in the FrameWork .NET 2.0 and set the security to FullTrust and the error disapeared.

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 ?

I am calling a function in an external dll to a device that runs some firmware. When I call device_open(), the device driver brings up a Warning dialog box that says there is a newer version of the firmware available. How do I suppress the warning dialog box? I am calling this function during an overnight test, so the dialog box prevents my tests from finishing.
