hen I launch a .net application on a machine that does not have .net installed I recieve the "In order to run this application please install .net framework 2.0" - i'm not sure what exactly it says but something to that effect.Now if i take the same application and use winzip self-extractor to call the exe, the message is no longer shown it just craps out.
View 3 RepliesAfter deployment and clicking 'setup.exe' the error message: 'Cannot Start Application - You cannot start application ... from this location because it is already installed from a different location.'details: cannot start it from d:/... (local path) because it is already installed from ... shared directory on different pc.on the shared dir: I tried to install it there some days ago, but cancelled the installation process, because the .net framework wasn't there. So I do not have a clean application that i can uninstall. The shared folder is now deleted, but if I try to deploy locally, the error is thereI installed the app on a third PC in a shared folder and uninstalled it afterwards. I can deploy and start the app on this third PC (but at the moment it is uninstalled there) .What file / entry in a file can I delete that I can install my application locally again (it runs in the debugger of the IDE)?
View 2 RepliesI 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 9 RepliesI have a Windows XP box that is showing vulnerable by a 3rd party scanner for MS08-070 in regards to four OCX files tied somehow to Visual Basic 6.0. However VB6 is not installed on this computer; attempts to download MS08-070 and patch doesn't work.I'm guessing there is a some other application that may have dropped these in my c:windowssystem32 folder. The file versions are older as compared to what MS08-070 say they should be so I'd like to get them patched/updated.Microsoft's recommendation in the article is to update the application on a machine that has the latest patches for VB6 and redistribute that application.

View 3 RepliesHow can I show a Window on the first startup of the application that isn't the main form?I just want to show a window on the first startup with a textbox and a submit button. To get to the main form, the user must enter at least 10 characters into that textbox. The startup form is then always just the main form if they get it right. If there isn't 10 characters when submit is pressed, the program exits.
It needs to be reasonably secure, ie not just a text file in the same folder called 'unlocked' or something.Preferably a hidden registry entry to store whether the main form has been unlocked or not.

to be so simple turns out to have me scratching my head.I have a program that monitors input inside of Quickbooks. When a customer is entered into a sales order my program checks my database for any special information and if it exists, opens a TopMost window to the lower third of the screen with the information showing that is special to that customer. The problem I have is that when the customer is found and the window opens, focus is taken away from Quickbooks and given to my newly opened form. Is there a way to prevent this so that the users input isn't interrupted?
With frmMessage
.Width = Screen.PrimaryScreen.WorkingArea.Width
.TopMost = True

View 1 RepliesI am writing a simple code that will hide a window, or show a window if it has been hidden. I am using showwindow() to do so.
Private Declare Function ShowWindow Lib "user32.dll" (ByVal hWnd As IntPtr, ByVal nCmdShow As SHOW_WINDOW) As Boolean
<Flags()> Private Enum SHOW_WINDOW As Integer
SW_HIDE = 0[code].....
however the above will not bring/show the window that has been hidden.I assume showwindow works differently than how I expect to make it work? what is the proper way?
