Deploying Program Can't Find Dlls In Same Folder
Apr 5, 2012
I wrote a program in VB.NET which uses several .dlls that I programed in c++. The dlls wrap some functions from an old version of the program. On my development computer everything works fine but I build a release version, copy it and the dlls onto the target machine and the .exe starts up fine. When the program tries to use a function from the .dll it throws an exception and says "unable to load DLL "c:/the path/my.dll" the specified module can't be found."I don't know if it makes any difference, but I am defining the dll functions in the main vb project using:Declare Function MyFunction Lib "c:/the path/my.dll" (ByVal in1 as Double, ByRef out1 as Double) as Integer.I have checked the .net framework on the target and version 4 seems to be installed same as the development computer. Both are windows XP machines. I have no idea if it is the way I programmed the .dlls or just something with my vb.net project.

I have a simple question for you I think, but for me it bugs me a lot
So as the title says, I want to load a dll from a folder in my exe and use it's classes
How can I do that? like for example my app is named "run.exe" and I want at load time to load dlls from folder "resources" and use the classes from the dll's it "imported"

Using any version of .NET how do you find out which zone a particular share is classified under. I am having a problem identifying if a share where my referenced dlls reside is in the "intranet zone" or "internet" zone relative to some user machine that is running my .NET application. I suspect this is a problem because I am having a problem accessing referenced dlls from a share on some machines but not others. How can I tell which zone .NET is classifying that share in so I can adjust permissions accordingly?

I am trying to understand how to interact with external DLLs written in C++ for use in my VB.NET application. I have some DLLs that a client wrote that do some math functions. Everything was working on a 32-bit machine. Because we were taxing the 32-bit machine we moved to 64-bit. Now we can't get the same functions to work. The DLLs were re-compiled as 64-bit DLLs and they still don't work. So my client wrote some dummy DLLs to see if we could figure out the problem. Here are the "signatures" of the DLL calls that I am making:[code]....Ultimately I would like to get to calling initialize_quiet and I am guessing at the format of the marshalling, const size etc.

I have created a program in VB.Net using Visual Studio 2008, the program works fine and everything is working until I try to install it.I need to be able to add it to a flash drive so I can load it up on a handheld device. I have gone through the publish wizard on my PC and created the Application Manifest and other Files on my PC, I have then copied this folder onto a memory stick and then accessed it through the handheld and run the set up. everything seems to work but when I try and access the program I get an error message stating that the program can not find the database file; it tells me to check the path [Data Source = database1.sdf] i have searched for my database and it does not appear that it has been deployed.No idea what the problem could be as this is the first time I have tried deploying an SQL Server compact database with a program.The device I am deploying too is a panasonic Toughbook which is running Windows XP, it already contains an application which runs an SQL Server DB.

I have created a security program that monitors the keystokeswebsitesprocesses... I want to FIRST ask if this is a legal question; for, my purpose in this program is security reasons (eg. following up on employees to make sure that they are doing what they are paid to do. They all know this is running, and have been warned not to go to sites and enter information they do not want reviewed).
Second, I want this program to be hidden so that techy persons cannot go into task manager and end the process, then go on to some porn site! How could I make this app hidden, or at the very least make it 'un-end-able' from the task manager?

I (through a ton of help from everyone here at stack-o) have created a small WCF which is hosted as a Windows service using TCP..Last question for this little bugger; it's time for deployment. In my solution, there are 3 projects. One is the Windows service, another is the imported WCF, and finally a setup project I added for install.I can install/uninstall the service on my machine by going in the solution directory and finding "Setup.exe" or "Setup.msi". Executing either from explorer will install the service on my development box.Now there are a few directories associated with this solution. I'm betting that simply copying setup.exe or setup.msi to my target server and trying to run it will bomb out. How can I find out exactly which files/folder I will need to copy over for deployment?Or should I just copy the entire solution directory? That will be a little difficult for my coworkers as the setup routines are nested in directories 5 deep.

I need to find a folder that is shared between all users of a PC, every body being able to read/write to that folder and below, without any errors. I think that the folder "C:Documents and SettingsAll UsersShared Folder" would do the trick. How do I find the path to that folder, regardless of the OS used (Xp / Vista / 7) and regardless of the Windows language (With a french Windows, this folder is called "C:Documents and SettingsAll UsersDocuments partag").

What is the best and fastest way to find the exact location(Drive/Folder) of a specific file, without scanning the whole drive.

I am quite new to VB programming.
