Accessing The Registry In A 64 Bit System?
Aug 17, 2009I would be grateful for information or a link to a clear explanation on issues relating to accessing the registry in a 64 bit system (I don't have access to a 64 bit machine so can't test). I have a VB.Net app' that needs to read the registry to find where Ghostscript is installed. This is: key = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("SOFTWARE\GPL Ghostscript")
If the VB.Net app (made on my 32 bit machine) is run on a 64 bit machine, will it still work (assuming the key for Ghostscript is the same on 64 bit)? Or do I need to manually access the 'Wow6432Node' registry or something? Plus, are there any security implications reading the registry or can I safely assume that an installed app' will always be able to read the registry?

View 1 RepliesAccessing MultiString Data From The Registry?
Dec 15, 2009I'm using VB 2005 Express Edition.I'm trying to use VB to do a few things, the first of which is to display the data behind the registry key at;
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SvcHost\netsvcs.
The data I want list should look something like:
6to4
AppMgmt
AudioSrv
Browser
[code]...
This shows no errors initially, but complains about not being able to convert "string()" to "string" once I run it. I'm assuming this is because the data I want is a line of string entries, but I can't find a solution.FYI, this is a project I'm working on to heal a Conficker attack at work. Our third party support has stopped the spread and healed the servers, but has now left me with the job of doing a 3 minute registry fix on each of our 400 computers, hence the attempt to automate it!
Accessing Registry Keys With Spaces?
Sep 4, 2010I'm trying to access a registry key that has a space in it, specifically:
SoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionWindowsU pdateAuto Update The key is valid and I believe the code is, though I can't get any keys with spaces to open using Registry.OpenSubKey
The following code fails only for keys with spaces: subkey = New String("SoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersion WindowsUpdateAuto Update")
m_hive = m_hive.OpenSubKey(subkey, False) Dim val As Object = m_hive.GetValue(key)
Accessing Files Off Of A Drive That Has A Different Path From System To System?
Mar 26, 2011I'm coding this neat little project that's kind of a hack into the SanDisk U3 Cruzer's ability to have both a CDFS and FAT32 File System. This is helpful because the program is burned to the CDFS (It's basically slip streamed as an .ISO in place of the original U3 .ISO), and the settings files (which I've developed as text files) are placed on the root of the flash drive. The program itself is VERY simple actually, except I'm having a slight issue that's really driving me insane:
The drive path of the Flash Drive won't be the same from computer to computer. I.E... The files are "UAI.txt" and "UInfo.txt". The root of the drive on my comp is "I:", but on my laptop is "F:". So if I program the path from my computer as the absolute path, an exception is thrown when the path changes on another computer. I cannot have this happen. It is probably THE MOST crucial element to this program. How can you save and read info if you can't find the files? =P
So I've gone through so many threads and forums trying to find a batch of code to allow me to make the path relative. I've found the following code (modified, of course). It works PERFECT in Debug, but throws an exception once packaged to the CDFS partition:

File I/O And Registry :: Accessing Files In Alphabetical Order?
Nov 20, 2009For a project, I need to extract all the frames of an AVI video. This I have accomplished by with free program. The problem: it took a 30 second clip and spit back 5400 some frames, and the image only changes every 20 frames or so. I really only need about 270 frames, but I didn't want to go through each one manually. So, I wrote a small program using Visual Studio 2008 and VB to open each image in binary and compare it to the one before that. If there is a discrepancy of more than 55000 (to accommodate slight errors in capturing), it leaves the file be. If not, it deletes it.
After much troubleshooting, I got it all to work. I ran it on the directory containing the images, but when it finished, only the first image remained. I checked into it, and found that the FSO loop I have set up to loop through each file was pulling the files in apparently random order. It will give me the image "bg(01).bmp" and then immediately "bg(1362).bmp" and so on. And the order changes every run.
I tried setting up an array to generate a list of all the files and then sort them, so I could pull off the name of the file, then the next one, ect. but it took over 3 hours to finish processing the array, and then It was using a huge chunk of RAM.Is there some way to "force" vb to pull off files in alphabetical order? here is my, code, it belongs with a form. fPath is a global variable, simply pointing to the source directory.

System Registry Referencing?
Feb 11, 2010I have a program that write a key to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER (it stores an email address there & I call it later to send to that address)On form load a dialog opens & asks for email address.Everything OK on testing the program, when I deploy the application the dialog doesn't open. I assume this has got to be something to do with what references I add.I have added system & system32 but still doesn't work. The code I have is below.what references to add & if/what to copy to output directory.I'm using VBExpress 2008
I have added:-
Public Const c_strKeyName As String = "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\TimWadSoftware\ServiceReport\"
Private Sub MainForm_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
My.Settings.Reload()

System.UnauthorizedAccessException When Writing To Registry Key?
Nov 17, 2009My application needs to change the default signature of outlook and I need to change the value of a registry key for this. But I get a error that I probaly don't have enough permissions. Strange thing is, if I change it manually it doesn't complain.

Happens at the 2nd line:

.net - Error Accessing MQs From .NET?
Mar 15, 2012I have a VB.NET console application that must write a message onto a queue (resides on the mainframe). We have all the clustering and everything set-up by our admin. We already have an existing windows service that successfully listens to messages and also writes messages to various queues.I have basically re-used most of my code from the windows service project.But when I try to access the queue manager, I hit the exception "MQRC_HOST_NOT_AVAILABLE". The error log from the Websphere MQ folder says

View 2 RepliesWhy Is Registry Access Denied - 'System.Security.SecurityException' In Mscorlib.dll
Jan 11, 2010Trying to read key "HKLMSOFTWAREPoliciesMicrosoftWindowsWindowsU pdateAU" value "AUOptions" and get the following : A first chance exception of type 'System.Security.SecurityException' occurred in mscorlib.dll Error occurs in ReadRegistry key SOFTWAREPoliciesMicrosoftWindowsWindowsUpdate AU : Requested registry access is not allowed. This occurs in my vb.net application when application is run under an account called OPER in the USERS group. The application :
1/is on my PC's hard drive, its not a web app or on a network share
2/is launched via a desktop click
3/ has a manifest specifying executionlevel "AsInvoker"
It does not occur when the Application is run as an Administrator. It does not occur if I read the value with a non .NET program when logged in as OPER whch makes me think it is a .NET problem not a registry permissions problem. Examining "Effective Permissions" shows that my OPER login has query value permission.I need the application to be able to read the key like the non .NET application while running at USERS level.
Error: A First Chance Exception Of Type 'System.InvalidOperationException' Occurred In System.Data.dll
May 5, 2011I am using VS 2008, Office 2007, and Win7 Home Premium on my system.I have a simple application which should be a breeze to build. All I am attempting to do is pull data from an Access database with four small tables into a data grid on a windows project. Should be simple, set up the data connection, choose a datagrid from the table in the data source view, drag it onto the page and done, right?I can't get it to work. It will all work fine until I attempt to run or debug the project. The data will not show up. The data grid does, but I get this error: A first chance exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException' occurred in System.Data.dll
As I said, the project seems to build fine, but it will not pull the data. After the initial build I get the message that Windows will show this page in Compatibility View. Is it something with Win7 Home Premium, or a setting somewhere?
