Vista Registry Errors?
Aug 11, 2009I have a VB.NET application that I have developed in VS 2008. The app is a basic monitoring app that checks in with a central server every so often, reports the status of events on the PC, and reacts accordingly to commands provided by the central server. The application validates 3 registry keys when it first starts: 2 are variables used in the application (HKLMSoftware[Company Name] -- when to check-in & how often) and the third is just an entry in HKLMSoftwareWindowsCurrentVersionRun to make sure it is started upon reboot. If the appropriate keys do not exist, the app will create them on behalf of the user.The EXE has been packaged and installed on a handful of machines without any issues. We then started having issues when it was installed on 64-bit Vista machines. The app locks up upon start (when trying to write the keys) and writes the below error to the error log:
Error Number: 5
Error Description: Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation.
Error Source: mscorlib

Aug 21, 2010I'm making a cleaning program and one of the things it does is cleans the recycle bin. How do I do it for Xp, Vista, and 7? I'm on Visual Basic 2010. Also, how do I make it so that it automatically finds the username and uses it when the program deletes a folder. Right now I have it so that you need to enter your username in a textbox and then it uses that for the directories. I know it's something with SystemInformation.UserName.

Sep 22, 2010I took the following method to make a registry key in my setup project. When I run setup, it says Could not write value Run to the key. Verify that you have the sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel. "Below I have copied the code that I took from the forum After you have built your own application project, Right Click the "Solution" to "Add a New Project", of cource the project type is Setup and Deployment Project.
Add the "Project Outputs" into the setup project, here, it can be the your own application,Most of important step: Open the "Regstry" view of the setup project, then add new keys in "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" according to the information I just mentioned. Below the key "Run", you can add a new string value. Then in the value's "Properties" view, enter "[TARGETDIR]YourApplicationName.exe" .Install your application using the msi file created by setup project, then restart your computer, you can see the result.

View 1 RepliesError Log File Location Not Working On Vista With UAC?
Oct 13, 2009I have a program that writes unhandled exception detail to a log file stored in the same directory as the program itself. I am wondering how I can have keep the file in the same location, and not have to worry about a file write access. With Vistas User Access Control enabled, the file is not accessible unless the program is run as an administrator, which I don't need it to be for anything else. The file does not exist all of the time, it only exists after an error occurs. Users are encouraged to email the file to me and then delete the file. Thus the file should only exist if their is a error that the user has not emailed. I really want to keep it in the same directory as the program itself, or within a subdirectory of the programs directory, since the portable version is exactly the same program executable and I would like to keep it that way. I am not sure how to go about setting the file security, set it when I create the file if the file doesn't exist, prompting for Administrator privileges to create it with the security. I was also thinking that I could just set the entire folder containing the program executable when it is installed, and then it would be able to create the file without having to have administrator privileges.

I still have the error showing.Is there some other configuration to do on a Vista machine to be able to run a remote VB.NET application ?
