File I/O And Registry :: Registry Entry Found/not Found Messages?

Aug 13, 2011

Currently I am using this code to check for Firefox on a 32 bit machine

Code:
Dim Firefox32 As String
Firefox32 = My.Computer.Registry.GetValue _
("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMozillaMozilla Firefox 5.0in", "PathToExe", Nothing)
MsgBox("The value is " & Firefox32)

If the value is found then the above message is fine, but if the entry is not found I want it to display a message like: "Firefox could not be found" instead of "The value is: " What code would make this appear?

File I/O And Registry :: File Not Found Exception

Jun 16, 2009

I'm developing a very simple app that does nothing more than launch two other apps. I'm developing this under the .NET 2.0 framework for WinCE 5.0 in VS2005.No matter what I do, I keep getting file not found exceptions not handled, and the program crashes. (Yes I should probably have a try/catch block, but this isn't the issue.)

Here's some code

fullPath = Path.GetFullPath(drivePath)
Me.Label1.Font = New System.Drawing.Font("Tahoma", 6.0!, System.Drawing.FontStyle.Regular)
Me.Label1.Text = fullPath & strDrivePath

Now, the label change here is not important, I only do this to output the full path of the directory, and strDrivePath is "whatever.exe"

If Directory.Exists(fullPath) Then
If File.Exists(fullPath & strDrivePath) Then
Me.Label1.Text = "EXISTS!!!"

[code].....

The irritating thing is after getting and displaying the full path (I know it's there) I check with the first IF to prove to the program it's there. No problem.I then use the second IF to prove to the program that the executable is there, and change the label output on screen to prove to myself the code is executed. The label changes. The file is there.

Then when I run the program, File not found exception. It's driving me insane. I've tried in multiple OSes (Vista and CE 5.0), I've tried in directories with spaces and no spaces, I've tried using Process.Start() and setting up the file details through the info command.I've tried putting a path in there directly instead of using variables. I've tried wrapping the whole kit and kabodle in quotes like this Shell("" & fullPath & strDrivePath & "" ) and like this Shell("""" & fullPath & strDrivePath & """").I've searched high and low on forums around the globe, including multiple threads here and I just cannot get it to work.

Dllregisterserver Entry Point Is Not Found?

Recently, I upgraded VB6 project to VB.Net. After that I can sucessfully compile the project and generate a DLL file in the bin folder, but when I try to use regsvr32 command to register the DLL, I got error saying "DllRegister Server Entry Point is not found".

And I cannot remove it from memory, if I want to use my old DLL.

Why Is DllRegisterServer Entry Point Not Found

Dec 9, 2010

I need to create a COM-callable DLL using VB.NET 2010 that can be opened by a legacy VB6 application. I'm experimenting with a very simple demo example first. When I try to register the resulting DLL with regsvr32, it shows me this error:"DemoCounter.dll was loaded, but the DllRegister Server entry point was not found. This file cannot be registered."Here are the steps I followed:

1. Create new VB.Net project as a class library.
2. Delete the class1.vb file it starts with.
3. Add a new class from template "COM Class"
4. Build the DLL and try to register it.

The class has the GUIDs, the <COMCLASS ...> stuff, and has a checkmark in the "Register for COM Interop" checkbox of the project settings.[code]

Dll Was Loaded But DllRegisterServer Entry Point Was Not Found

Apr 18, 2012

I have created a dll using class library in visual studio 2010. This dll calls another dll to perform some special calculations. I want to deploy the whole setup in excel vba and it had worked properly on the PC, on which I have generated the dll. The top cover dll is automatically registered in the registry list and i did not use the "regasm" to register it...

Now when i try to use this on a different PC (Win7 x64 OS, No Visual Studio), I'm facing problems. I am unable to register the dll with regasm, as I dont have it. When i use regsvr32 i get the Error "dll was loaded but DllRegisterServer entry point was not found"

File I/O And Registry :: Email Accounts Stored In Registry

Jul 14, 2011

Currently, I am try to get the email addresses that have been saved or stored by the user of the computer. This isn't the emails that the user has sent or received, or the contacts he/she has in his address book. Just simply the email accounts that have been accessed from the computer.I know that there are some locations stored in the registry that have the email account. The email addresses that are used on the current computer. I just can't seem to find them on my computer.I am not sure if the registry is the only place to find it or if it stored on the web browser such as internet explorer or google chrome.

File I/O And Registry :: Reading Multiple Keys From The Registry?

Aug 27, 2008

I am writing an application that connects to a specific com port. This com port can change depending on how many physical ports are on the PC, and if other USB devices have installed com ports before this one.

I have the communication to the com port all working great, but I need to get the com port description not just the "COM#" which is all I currently get.

I found in the registry where the description is stored but am having trouble doing what I need.

In this key:

Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMControlSet001ControlClass{4D36E978-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

there is a varied number of sub keys. The are numbered 0000-NNNN depending on how many ports you have. Inside each of these keys, there are multiple values, although I am only interested in one or 2 of them.

My problem is, that I do not know how to get a list of the subkeys (the 0000-NNNN keys/folders) from the original key I posted. I have looked through a few registry tutorials, and I can view the default value in the listed key, but I could not find how to list the subkeys of the listed key.

Does anyone have any sample code they could share that shows how I can get a listing of subkeys, and then run through those subkeys checking for a specific value in one of the strings contained in the subkey?

I am using VB.net 2008 and Windows XP.

I just bet the answer to this question already exists, however I saw no search mechanism under the forum. Anyhow, I would like to change registry data, and this code is asking for an instance to the object.

Dim RegKey As RegistryKey = My.Computer.Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwa reAnyDWGSoftwareDWGtoPDFProSettings", True)
RegKey.SetValue("OutputPDFFileOpt", 1)

Finally, I want to apply this setting to the program on four different computers (local, and three others on the network).

Registry Values Not Being Added To Registry?

I wrote an application to manage several installers and I wanted to throw in some registry settings as well. Unfortunately the following code is not writing to the registry, nor is it returning any exceptions.I'm running Visual Basic 2010 Express as administrator using Windows 7 64 bit, I can manually add the values, and I can add them from a .reg file manually but not even by calling the .reg file as a new process (it asks for permission, says it succeeded, but nothing changed).The key already exists, all I need to do is add two values.

My.Computer.Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("SOFTWAREMicrosoftInternet ExplorerMAINFeatureControlFEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION", True)
My.Computer.Registry.SetValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftInternet ExplorerMAINFeatureControlFEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION", "uwgm_client.exe", 32768, Microsoft.Win32.RegistryValueKind.DWord)[code].....

Get A File Not Found Error?

Feb 3, 2010

I had the following piece of code working for the last few weeks and earlier today it seems stopped working.I have the code in a try/catchh block and in that try I create a file, "Build.bat" with code in it that will get it to do some oracle/sql wizardry

If File.Exists(Application.StartupPath & "Build.bat") Then
Shell(Application.StartupPath & "Build.bat", AppWinStyle.NormalNoFocus, True)
End If

After stepping through my code I noticed that the catch is executed at the shell line, so I put it in an if statement to see if the file exists and it always comes up as true, but on the next line I still get a File not Found error.

Try
Dim BatFile As New StreamWriter(Application.StartupPath & "Build.bat")
Dim SQLPLUS As String[co
