View 3 RepliesIDE :: Get Executable Running?
Jan 13, 2011Firstly I'm not a programmer and do not pretend to be one. I just enjoy killing some spare time I've been usining Visual Basic (started with VS2005 and now onto VS2010) to develop a program. Up until now I've been happy to plod along running the progam from the development environment. However, I recently was asked by an colleague if they could have a copy of the program to use.Therefore I opted to create an executable file for him to use. The problem is that whislt the executable file runs fine on my machine (Win 7) where VS2010 is installed, it does not deploy correctly on his machine (XP pro). Following is the message that I get:See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

Pass In The Directory That Have Been Run From To An Executable In VB?
May 26, 2009This may be simple but I have brain freeze on just nowIf I cd into a directory from a command line and then run my executable VB.net application, is there a way to detect the directory that it was launched from. I currently have the executable in my PATH however ideally the person would cd into the directory that they were wanting the executable to act upon.
View 3 RepliesRunning Executable Within Program?
Aug 5, 2009I'm trying to run a program (mame.exe) within a vb program. Mame is a program that allows you to run old video games. The games are stored in rom files. If you want to run mame.exe from a dos prompt, the syntax is "c:/mame.exe [rom]". The [rom] is the particular game you are running. I'm trying to create a front end menu from which I can execute games.
I've tried:
Process.Start(
"c:/mamefiles/mame.exe [rom]")
and I get an error that says it can't find the file.
I tried
Process.Start(
"c:/mamefiles/mame.exe", "[rom]")
and it seems to start the program but immediately shuts down mame.I tried
Shell("c:/mamefiles/mame.exe [rom]")
and again it seems to start the program but immediately shuts down mame.

Dec 18, 2009VS sets your project up with the default directory structure: ...indebug which also seems to contain some other files besides your dll (I assume these are related to the debug symbols, etc).So how do you set it up to copy your dll to another directory when debugging?Right now, I'm having to manually copy the built dll with every run and that's getting to be a bit annoying.I'm using VS 2008?

View 10 RepliesVS 2005 Running Fortran Executable Using 'Shell'
Apr 14, 2009I have an old Fortran program that I've compiled to a windows executable. On opening this from an explorer window the executable runs fine, however on using Shell to run the program a traceback error occurs. Just to be sure I used Shell to open a batch file which runs cmd /K ...exe Why is it that on double-clicking the batch file it will run the executable correctly, however on calling it from my visual basic (very simple button) program the batch file opens the command prompt just fine but does not execute the whole Fortran code successfully? Incidentally I have found that the error occurs on a line to do with reading from a file; it can print to the command prompt etc. with no problems just not deal with the reading the external text file for some reason. By the way paths for files etc. are definitely correct. It makes no sense to me, but from a bit of research it may have something to do with correcting the read statements - at the moment they are just in the form: read(99,*)
View 1 RepliesShell Command Launches An App Differently Than Running The Executable
Sep 1, 2009I have a legacy vb6 application that uses a shell command to launch a newer .net application. It's a very simple command, just launches an app. Here's the problem. When I run the .net app through the shell command, it tries to connect to a database that is not referenced in it. If I double-click the .net executable, it runs just fine and connects the way it is supposed to. Normal, no problems. Only when I run it from the shell command do I have problems. I have checked everything I can think of and simply can not come up with a reason why the app would behave differently when launched from a shell command.
View 3 RepliesUse A Button (A) To Launch A Prompt Where User Selects Directory Path To An Executable Program?
Aug 27, 2011It's probably the most basic of things, but all I can find is how to launch a program, and not with the interactions I desire. Any tips as to the terms to use to search for answers, or links to topics regarding questions similar to mine, would be very appreciated. I have a wealth of info to read through, but I could use your knowledge to save myself time.Here is what I am trying to do:
Use a Button (A) to Launch a Prompt where User Selects Directory Path to an executable Program. The Selection is to be Persistent after the initial selection (saved in a settings file i assume?), and the Selected Path (or just "programname.exe") is to be Displayed in a Text Field (B). Launch Selected and Indicated Program via a Launch Button (C)
Windows Script Host Object Model's Interop.IWshRuntimeLibrary.dll Referencing Same Directory As Executable
May 10, 2011I have an application that creates desktop shortcuts. To do this I have to reference the Windows Script Host Object Model. When I add it as a reference, it always creates the DLL, Interop.IWshRuntimeLibrary.dll, in the objx86Debug directory, then references itself to it, rather than looking at wshom.ocx. Even if I add reference wshom.ocx it reverts to saving the file in the objx86Debug directory. The problem is if I move my application to another computer without that DLL being present, the program fails to run.

I can program one device after another running the application off of Visual Studio Express 2010 or Visual Studio 2010, but when I go to publish this file and run it on another machine, it becomes unstable and crashes after each upload. On those same computers if I run the raw unpackaged program under Visual Studio Express, the system does not crash, and I can program devices repeatedly.

Deployment :: Can An Executable Program Create An Executable File
May 17, 2012I have a program that outputs a file. I want the user to be able to just double-click the output file and launch the program, just like Word and Excel. In Word for instance, one doesn't necessarily have to open WORD then click on File--> Open and locate another Word doc. He can just go to the folder and open the Word doc. I want to implement the exact scenario in my program.
So far I have tried creating TextFile and added it to the Resources. On FormLoading, I simply I stream-read the Resouce file, but I can't write to the Resource on FormClosing, since the Resource is ReadOnly. Also, the Resource is built & compiled so I suppose you can't add anything to it at run time.How you lunch an output file without launching the Executable program that created it?
Executable On Vista - Open The Executable It Goes To A "WindowsApplication1?
Jun 1, 2009I have an executable that I was able to get working on all XP machines by registering all the .dll's associated with it.On Vista, however, I go through the exact same registration process but right when I open the executable it goes to a "WindowsApplication1 has stopped working" dialog. I registered the DLLs in the SysWOW64 folder. I also ran Dependency Walker which came up with IEFrame.dll as flagged, don't know if that is relevant though.
View 6 RepliesCommandLine Arguments - Executable Path Of Application
Jan 27, 2010I have an application that has file extensions associated with it. The application has been deployed using ClickOnce. I have checked the associations table to confirm the entry is there and the association is to the 'ClickOnce Application Deployment Support Library'. When the application is triggered using a file with my extension, it does not pass the filename / directory in the CommandLine Arguments, instead you get the executable path of the application.
Which is under ..LocalSettingsApp"Random Strings"MyApp.exe
I have checked the Registry entry to confirm what the extension is set to open with and the application is dfshim.dll. Is there a way to overcome this, or is this just another limitation of ClickOnce deployment?
