View 3 RepliesI'm having trouble getting my app to auto-start by adding a registry key. The problem it is having is checking if the user has admin privileges. I tried setting the thread principal, because before it would always return false when I tried My.User.IsAuthenticated, but when I check if My.User.IsInRole("Administrators"), it still returns false, even when it should return true.Here's my current code. This worked fine without even setting the thread principal when I was just creating a regular Windows Form.

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.
View 2 RepliesWith 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 before replacing with a newer version of the file.Changing of security permissions for a standard user is not an option.

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.
View 3 RepliesI've got an asp.net assignment where I'm to create 7 user's in the ASP.Net Admin Tool but when I open it up and click the security tab I'm getting the following error message:"There is a problem with your selected data store..." problem is, I don't even know what a data store is and VS has never had me select one... any ideas how to fix this?

I'm running VS 2008 on Win7 Home Premium x64 and I did install SQL Server 2008 Express last night in case it's needed.
I think this has to do with a third party OCX control. Below is the output when the application starts. When I install my application on a stand-alone PC or most PCs in a networked environment it runs fine. When I go to some offices that have very tightly controlled networks I have problems.
The set up won't run under the user name so someone from IT must log in as administrator. They run the set up and the application installs and runs fine. The IT person logs off and the user tries to run it and the application won't even start. An error box appears and below is the report. SCANNERLib.DLL is the third party control. Maybe there is something I'm missing when I compile. Maybe the DLL registering funny under the Admin rights. [Code]

View 5 RepliesI develop and maintain several VB6 applications used internally by my employer.All PCs (both my development machine and the users' workstations) run Windows XP. My normal procedure is to develop and test the application, and build an installation package (using the Package and Deployment Wizard), on my machine, and then at each user's machine do the following:
1.log on using a domain administrator account
2.uninstall any previous version of the application
3.run the installation package to install the new version of the application
4.copy the Start menu entries and desktop shortcut to Documents and SettingsAll Users, so that the application can be run by any user
5.test the new version of the application to ensure proper operation
Recently, I completed, tested and built the installation package for version 2 of a particular application.One of the significant changes in this version is the removal of a listbox control and its replacement by an MS FlexGrid control (this was necessary because the users require different items to appear in different colors, which doesn't seem possible with an ordinary listbox).In order to use the FlexGrid, I had to add MSFLXGRD. OCX to the Components... list on the Projects menu.After upgrading the six existing users to version 2, and installing it for a new seventh user, I've run into a problem I've never seen before.When I log into any of the users' machines using the same domain administrator login that I used to install the application, it runs normally.But when I log out and the machine's user logs back in, when they launch the application it always aborts with the following error as soon as the form containing the FlexGrid is opened:[code]With the machine's user logged in, I attempt to manually register the control by opening a command prompt window, making WindowsSystem32 the current directory and entering regsvr32 msflxgrd.ocx at the prompt, but that always generates this error: LoadLibrary ("msflxgrd. ocx") failed - Access is denied.
Of course, if I then log out the user and log back in with the domain administrator login, I can successfully use regsvr32 to register and unregister the control, and the application runs normally for me.I'd always thought that component registrations were system-wide, but this situation seems to call that into question.I've read elsewhere that this problem can be resolved by registering the control in the HKeyCurrent User section of the registry instead of (or in addition to) the HKeyLocalMachine section, and that I can do so by using a registry script rather than (or in addition to) regsvr32 and/or the installation package, but I have no idea of how to do so.
