I've added the necessary registry key to have my app run when windows loads:Hkey_Local_MachineSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRunMyProgram = c:MyDirMyProgram.exe..I've also tryed adding it to the ProgramsStartUp folder.My app still won't load when windows does. Other apps do, and I was wondering what might be preventing my app, and only my app, to not load. Is it Security? Trust Level? or what?
View 3 RepliesI've made an application and i would like to auto update it via my website.the only problem, its that i checked most of the tutorial on youtube, but none of them work correctly.

I have a stand alone application "test.exe" on a Windows 7 operating system.I have an application "test.exe" made in Visual basic 8.0.I have an "Auto Update" function . Call this function from "test.exe". In the first line in "test.exe".This function does the following:
1. This checks whether the current version is older than the version on specific site, if so:
1a. Removed all *. old
1b. Rename test.exe to test.old
1c. dowload new test.exe
I'm afraid I get an error when I rename "test.exe" to "test.old" because "test.exe" is now active.How can I prevent this or what else should I do?

View 2 RepliesThe software company I work for offers data conversion as a service for new clients who have previously used other similar software. I've written a VB.NET application to automate common conversion operations, and have separate logic between known vendors.particular file layout has become rather common, but due to the nature of how this particular competitor's application stores information, certain fields mean one thing for one client, and another for a different client.Certain elements within this vendor's format change every time, so I've written the application to account for that. Because some data fields mean different things to different vendors, I have to change my mapping code every time. This wasn't an issue when I had one of these every six months or so, but these are becoming much more common and I would much rather find a way to further automate this process.

Now I have my application and an installer project, which can install my application. how to make my application auto-update (from my web server) like a smart client. I've looked into ClickOnce, but it does not appear to be suitable as I cannot do any custom installation steps. My application needs to create folders and copy other files from the CD to the hard drive, which I don't believe ClickOnce supports. On the other hand, the Windows Installer does not natively support any sort of auto-updating. So what do I do?
I have read that it is possible to combine both technologies, but all my research into this has turned up nothing of use.
I've looked into the Updater Application Block (Version 2.0), but I'm not sure if this is what I'm looking for? I'm using Visual Basic 2005 and I'm not sure if the Updater Application Block supports .NET v2.0. In fact, when I tried to install the Enterprise Library, it said I need .NET v1.1??? Even if this is a possible path, I'm really quite lost when reading through the documentation as nothing seems to point towards practical examples, especially in Visual Basic.
I've also had a look at the System.Deployment.ApplicationDeployment class, but it seems as though this only works with ClickOnce applications. However, since I can't seems to use ClickOnce in my situation, this does not seem like a viable option. Is it possible to use System.Deployment.ApplicationDeployment outside of a ClickOnce application?
I'm really quite lost as to how other people produce custom installing applications that have auto-updating features. Virtually every modern piece of software does it, but I cannot seem to find anything on the web that points me in the right direction of how to achieve this with Visual Basic 2005.
I'm looking for a way for copying a VS application files via HTTP and TCP? I mean I have published my application and now I am trying to find something like ClickOnce application that copies my updated files from my website to the clients' centers through HTTP and then locally to end users through FTP. I need to a source code or something like that.

I have a visual basic .net application. It has a sql server database and a dataset for it. I have created an interface to the database (passing through my dataset) to add, delete, save etc records in a table.

I am seeking advice or clarification of feasibility.Ihave a VB.NET (2008) application that, as an administrative tool,generates a user id, password and business role, and creates a file on disk with the aforementioned as content.

I was wondering if it is possible (and if so how complex it might b to mimic the functionality of the IDEs setup and deployment wizard within the application (that is to say buildthe msi file and setup.exesupplying the parameter of installation path).
