View 3 RepliesI completed my VB project a while back and it worked great in XP.Now the same program is needed on computers that have Win7 installed.The program installs without any problems, but when I open it, it gives me an error saying the database is not accessible.
I used Visual Studio 2008 and SQL Compact to design the project.The database was included in the project and in the installation file. I also checked the Programs folder and the database was installed correctly into the correct path.What is the problem with my programs compatibility with Windows 7?
Having worked out how to make a Windows Media Player in VB 2008, I have a new problem of exporting the file and debugging to play the music. I can add midi/mp3 files to the resources section so it works when I press f5 in VB itself, but opening from the debug folder (to save for other computers) loses all the music.

View 2 RepliesI am making a "fake Operating System" or "Virtual Machine" or what ever you want to call it. It has all of its own programs. I want Windows XP to stop running so that it will go faster and so on.Okay so I will obviously need coding on the Form1_Load and Form1_FormClosing Subs.Here is my attempt at coding it (Note that this is just the attempt at coding this particular part. It is not necessary to give you everything cause it would be to much and it might confuse people) :
Private Sub Form1_FormClosing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs) Handles Me.FormClosing

End Sub

View 4 RepliesI'm trying to create an application in VB.net that can come to the front once a certain condition occurs (in this case, a file being created). I've tried the following code, but it just results in the taskbar button blinking on Windows 7:
Me.Activate()
I understand the reason for this, and I completely understand why people don't want any random application to steal focus (I hate it too). This is an extremely limited use application (only 3 computers will actually be using it), and the users in this case would want the application to popup in front (there will be an option to turn it off too).
Any ideas if this is still possible to do on Windows 7?

Dim key As Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey

View 4 RepliesThe software I design is for Win XP and older versions such as Win 98, ME, 2000 etc. I currently use VB6 and Win XP for development and packaging, the problem I encounter is that if I use the deployment wizard in XP, the setup will only work on an XP machine and I need to copy all my source to an older machine and use the wizard again to create another setup file which will only work on the older operating systems. Is there a way to rectify this in VB6? If not, does the new VB account for this and be able to make a setup file for older operating systems as well as XP?

View 3 Repliesi successfully deployed one application but some small small issues coming in that...Here i want clarify some common doubts in redistributable components...I created one windows application in VS 2008 with C# as language and SQLServer 2005. I created msi setup application in vs 2008 itself. My application includes 2 third party tools. One is for skin and another is for capture images from different devices like camera, web cam etc...Database i deployed is sqlexpress 2005
Generally i added the following prerequisites:
1. Dot Net Framework 3.5
2. Windows Installer 3.1
3. Crystal Report basic runtime for vs 2008 (x86, x64)
4. SQL Server 2005 Express SP2 (x86)
For all these i have no doubts except 4th one.Other than these prerequisistes my first third party tool(for skin) include Visual C++ 2005 Runtime. For this i tried Visual C++ Runtime included in the VS 2008 prerequisites but not worked. So i downloaded Visual C++ 2005 for x86 and x64 and create the custom prerequisites using "Bootstrapper Manifest Generator" and its working successfully For the second third party ocx component (for live video from devices) they telling the following compenents other than ocx component.
a. MFC Libraries (gdiplus.dll, msvcrt.dll, mfc42.dll)
b. DirectX 9 runtime or better
c. Windows Media format runtime files (they gave wmfdist.exe)
I told the system OS requirement is Windows XP SP2 or Vista. Architecture 32 bit and 64 bit(with conditions)
1. I didnt include the 3 MFC Libraries (gdiplus.dll, msvcrt.dll, mfc42.dll) in my setup application Yes i not included the these dlls. But i didnt get any error up to now. I think XP SP2 included these files. Any problem raises in vista or somthing other machines if i leave these files or these files updated when i installed that Visual C++ 2005 runtime? Because when i search MFC libraries i got the result as visual c++ runtime. Please clear about this and tell the i want to include or not?
2. I didn't include DirectX 9 runtime I dont have any common doubt in this because mostly sp2 inludes directX only. But if i inluded these can you give the latest and best redistribution component download link? I dont know is this component differe 32 bit or 64bit?
3. I didnt include Windows Media format runtime files This also i dint included but not got any issues. But some customer told that grains like coming in the live screen. Is this because of unavailability of these component? For include this i didnt got the download link. But i download the sdk from the following link...
[URL]
I installed and i got the same wmfdist.exe as the third party gave. My doubt here is is this support for vista also .. Any incompatabiliy for 64 bit.? if then can anyone give the 64 bit redistribtuion component download link also.
4. SQL Express 2005 Express 64Bit As this application want to support 64 bit also...i want to include 64 bit express edition. But i think the 64 bit support is express advanced version only. Here my problem is if i download tht i cant create custom prerequisites for sql express because i am not well in this.
I have created a windows application which Installs Multiple MSI's based on some condition. The project is created in Visual Studio 2008 with .Net framework 3.5; If this application runs in a machine which has atleast Dot Net 2.0 installs, it works fine. but the system without framework 2.0 throws an error "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135)"

View 19 RepliesI've been busy with work and other bits and bobs and not really had much time for programming... but anyway, I have just written a fairly simple windows service in VB.NET and although I can install it on my PCs/servers using the command line InstallUtil.exe component, this isnt ideal for other people that may need to install it without my assistance.
So basically I just need to know how to get a normal Setup and Deployment VS project to install this service itself... I thought it would be as simple as selecting the service assembly to include in the deployment project and building it, but unfortunately that seems to do naff all. Do I need to use a 'Custom Action' in the setup project (and if so, how/what do I do?)

I want to distribute a fairly simple program developed on Visual Studio 2008. I have tried to use the publish features in the IDE. It creates a folder with various information and stores it on my fileserver.When I try to install the program on another computer I get a lengthy message about the need to install Powerpack 9. 0.0.0 So I go back to my dev computer and edit the publish information. On prerequisites I do not find Powerpack 9 but Powerpack 3. I put that in and redo the publishing. The installation now install that package but then it says it requires powerpack 9.0.0.0 and ends?
