Deployment :: Answered Uninstalling Programs Using Force?
Aug 11, 2009
I'm currently in a situation where I need to uninstall a certain program from a local computer (and automatically install a newer version of that program), because this old version of the program randomly causes my program to malfunction I have found this article:CodeProject: How to list all Programs installed on Computer and Uninstall Them . Free source code and programming help This shows how to start the uninstall program for the programs I need to uninstall, which is a good start. I also have created all the code needed to install the newer version of the program But as this program will be used by users, I want to minimize the number of times the users has to do something. So far the only popup that I haven't been able to get rid of is when the uninstall program is being run how to force it to uninstall without having the program ask for confirmation?

I'm using the following code to pull some of the installed applications from the registry and load them into a ListView:
vb.net
Public Sub UninstallPrograms()
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionInstallerUserDataS-1-5-18Products
[Code].....
The problem is that I need to be able to access the the value of the uninstallString so that I can pass it to the appropriate process. Since that info is in a separate block, I can't directly access it.

I have seen a similar thread. But it is not answered. The Auto uninstall tool link given in that answer is not working. I want to uninstall .Net Pro Trial and going to install express edition. can anyone please tell me the order of programs to be removed?. Or please give the link for Auto uninstall tool for .Net Pro 2010.
Note: I have some software which are based on .Net Framework. so I should not remove the Framework. Is it possible to install Express Edition without removing this Framework?.

I have developed an VB application for windows. The application creates a folder say "C:My_Folder", when I run the application. I want to delete that folder when I uninstall my application(through control panel > uninstall ).

I am sure this can be done, as Visual Studio is basically built this way. What I want to do is simply make a class that my other workmates can use. But rather than have it in a code form, I want to build it (partially), and then my workmate can add it into their programs (sort of, like the add reference for the .NET stuff).

I was wondering what the easiest way is to get a portion of text from a string for example, you have:
"example1,example2,example3"
And i need to be able to get all three of the items separate:
"example1"
"example2"
"example3"
The length and number of items will change, I'm using a listview subitem

I am working on a small program that reads items from a text file. The items are the split up into data and used to fill the menuItem() as menuItems. Each instance of menuItem has 3 properties (name(string), price(double), and menuType(string)). As an item is selected, it's price is added to the Order collection with :
Order.Add(menuItem(index).price)
The running total of the sum of the selected items is to be displayed in text box. I have,
txtTotal.Text = FormatCurrency(runningTotal()) ' with runningTotal as a function
Function runningTotal()
For Each menuItem As MenuItems In Order
[code]....
However, when run, this error appears. This is new coding to me, so if I'm just way off, let me know. Anywho, I tried with & without the CDbl. It doesn't seem to have any effect.

I have a MyDataGridView.DataSource = MyDataSet.Table(0) and the AllowUserToAddRows = True Once the user have finished typing in the column zero I have to check if they didn't type invalid stuff. It have to be numeric and 4 chars long.
the code is:
Private Sub Result_CellEndEdit(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellEventArgs) Handles Result.CellEndEdit
If e.ColumnIndex = 0 Then
[code]....
And it is not all the time, but depending on how quick and stupid (i'm expecting stupid users, as usual) I click on the previous row or the AddNewRow row I get a the damn System.NullReferenceException on my If line:
If Not (IsNumeric(Result.Rows(e.RowIndex).Cells(0).Value) And Result.Rows(e.RowIndex).Cells(0).Value.ToString.Length = 4) Then I'm really not in the mood of just put a Try Catch, as it looks like bad programming in this case. I've already tried a couple variations with "is nothing" but no success?How could test it won't cause a Null exception before testing the row value?

I'm using My.Settings to store some text information which will be displayed to the user under certain conditions. What I'd like to know is whether part of the text (not all of it) can be formatted in bold?
The reason I'm storing in My.Settings is because it can be customized but not to the extent where I need to store it in a database. And while I'm at it, is it possible to format parts of MessageBox text and labels in bold, or is this an all or not at all situation i.e. changing the font property?

I am making a custom file explorer, and I am trying to make back and forward buttons, all I need to happen is when you hit back, it returns the last directory you were in, when you hit forward it returns the directories you were in before hitting back, and when entering a new directory, it erases all of the Forward data. I am not sure how to accomplish this

I have a program with which I can open a second form on a beamer, this works perfect, but what I do notice it that on the taskbar (I have windows 7) I see the main icon of the app but also the form that is created.What I would like is that the second icon is not displayed on the taskbar thumbnails, this way I can't close the second form by the X but only by a button on the main app.

When you've finished a program and you're trying to distribute it to the mass public. How is the best way to go about doing this? What sites would you post your program on and getting the word out that there is a new program on the block and it does xyz. This is directed to freeware so there wouldn't be any advertising.
Sorry for not explaining it very well the first time.

I spent some time with data modems till I realized it's a voice modem that I'm going to need in my application. I see that there are some other commands for a voice modem, although nothing very elaborate. I would imagine you make the call as you would in a data modem ATDT etc and it looks like there is really just one command to send audio...
AT+VTX
AT#VTX
Not sure what this is all about except maybe just different standards? Still not sure about how to detect when the call is answered though. I won't be talking to another modem. Maybe the serial port itself has a pin change or something? You would think there would be a bit "somewhere" that the modem would generate when it quits ringing. I may have build my own outboard box to do this. (easy enough -- probably more reliable too -- modems sure need rebooting a lot it seems).
Here is the goal though --Voice modem calls out, call is answered, and I inject my audio from the PC sound card for a minute or so and then tell the modem to hangup.

I am deploying sql express as a prerequisite. I have created a custom prerquisite using bootstrap manifest generator. The problem I have is replacing the template.ini file which exists in the sqlexpr32.exe cab file. Winrar and winzip allow me to open the sqlexpr32.exe but will not allow me to edit, add or replace the template.ini.I also cannot find the path where the sqlexpr32.exe extracts to as I want to use that path for the settings file eg "template.ini".[code]

I need a way to have the file included and I am unable to find a external copy and I understand that I cannot just copy the dll from my PC into the installation folder

Have built a project and associated it with a Setup&Deployment Project. The S&D project needs to contain 2 main folders (under User's Desktop) with various formats of files (xmls, txts, dlls) inside them and several subfolders. How can i copy/import these 2 folders and there sub-files/folders into my s&d project?
When adding them in the usual way, they are copied and defined a source path onto the current pc. You can understand what errors this might create when an another targeted pc does not contain those files to the exact location. Is there any way to copy them locally or somehow import them?

I've got a handful of dynamic controls populating an ASP page, with VB.NET in the back-end.What I need is when the user changes the .TEXT value of a textbox and the page posts back, the .TEXT value of a Table Cell changes to reflect that change (it multiplies the value of the textbox by the value of another cell).But a Table Cell can't be set to AutoPostBack, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to programmatically refresh the page (force a postback) in the TextChanged event for the textbox.

I am simply searching how to obtain errors/warning for each function/member that isnt documented. Im pretty sure I managed to do this on one of my projects, but cant find how to do it here on my workstation. I have looked into the project props, the solution props, but cant find it. I must have missed something, or maybe I could do this at home with an extension.
