View 3 RepliesCreate A Universal Platform App With An Access Database?
Nov 8, 2011Until recently I have been using net 2005 with distributing an app which uses an access database with getting data using recordsets
I decided it was time to upgrade so I got net 2010 & started using ADO.net with a dataadapter.
To my dismay I have found that my app will not run on all platforms, ie XP, Vista 32 & 64 bit, Windows 7 32 & 64 bit From another question I have been told
"If compiled to target AnyCPU, your program will fail to run in an x64 environment if it utilizes any ODBC database driver. In this case, you must compile it to x86. Therefore, x86 is safer than AnyCPU."
Which I have found to be correct I am not familiar with all the options to open a database & the respective code required to extract/change the database data. I also don't understand the implications of using x86 cpu instead of any CPU
MY net 2005 apps have been working fine for the last 6 years (until W7 64 bit), so I want to develop an app that has the same lifespan without having to make variations to the build for specific platforms
I would like the answers to the following:
1. is x86 the new standard for specifying cpu & works on all platforms?
2. why does W7 64 bit have a windows & windows x86 system folder
3. why does my installer when "any CPU" is specified install it in the x86 system folder (W7 64 bit, even though the app fails when trying to open the database as outlined above)
4. which method of opening an access database is preferred which works on all platforms with a common cpu specified?

View 2 RepliesVS 2005 Piracy Protection Mechanism And Windows Vista Or Windows 7
Apr 19, 2010i have created some shareware applications. I implemented the following mechanism for piracy protection. Before Windows Vista and Windows 7 i did write a dll file to the System32 folder with an encrypted license key. Also in the Registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE i inserted a registry key.
The problem is that with Windows Vista and Windows 7 due to the User Account Control (UAC) this is denied.
I want to ask : what other mechanism can be implemented ? Where should i store the encrypted key file and the registry key.
I want that the application can be installed for all users of a computer only once.
If i stored the key in the user's application data directory then another user could easily just install it under another user account. Also i do not want to put the key file in the application directory because that would be too obvious.
note that i create the registry key with my application and not with the installer.

Now, I'm changing my laptop, and the new has installed the Windows 7. So, I reinstalled VS 2005, taking care to install the Vista compatibility. Thus, the version of my current VS 2005 is 8.0.50727.867 (vsvista.050727-8600) SP2. And that is my problem.
When I ran the application in debug mode (F5) on Windows Vista, a windows appeared whenever there was an error, like below:
Now, on Windows 7, the application just shows a exception message in the Immediate Windows, don't showing any error window, continuing the application execution, as below:

Getting Windows Vista Error
Sep 17, 2009I have an application that works fine on Windows XP. However I have taken the same application and made some modifications to it to run on vista the app loads fine etc.
the problem stems from trying to change a service in the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemCurrentControlSetServicesDiagnostic Service Host
Start = 4 instead of 3 (which is what it is currently set to)
when the program tries to change it I get a dialog box with the information below. How can I makes the changes to the registry without getting these kinds of errors.
