Find SQL Server Instance Install Path Using .NET In Windows 7?

Dec 12, 2011

I have an application that allows the user to conduct database backups and restores. The users had been using Windows XP, with network security that allowed users to read the registry. For restores, the installation path to the SQL Server named instance was easily found by looking up the instance name in the registry using

restoreDir = My.Computer.Registry.GetValue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\" & m_DatabaseInstanceName & "\Setup", "SQLPath", Nothing).ToString

They have recently upgraded to Windows 7, and locked down the registry so that users can not read values from it. Is there a way (via code) to find the path to a named instance of SQL Server, so that the app can automatically place the database files (mdb & ldb) in the correct folder?

IDE :: Click Once Install Location On Local Machine?

Jan 11, 2010

Is it possible to point the install of ClickOnce to a directory of my choice on the local computer instead of caching it in Documents and Settingsuser? some place like c:Program FilesFoo Apps for example? I like the ClickOnce stuff a lot and especially the update on run functionality, but would like it independent from the user...

Dev/Usr Environment info: I am using VB Express '08 and SQL Express '05 for my applications in a corporate networking environment and the users will be installing from a network share drive. I have tested this and it works fine, just the location seems to be undesirable.

VS 2010 Why Install Program Or Run From Published Location

Mar 1, 2012

In the past I have written VB6 and VB NET 2005 programs that are installed and on the user's computer. This had to be done because the salesmen in our company have has a set of local data on their laptops so that they could do work and not be connected to our network. I would then sync the files when they connected to the network. (This same program is used by the rest of the company as well, but everyone else uses network data.)We are now at the point where we are not using any local data. Our salesmen access our network data using an iPad, VPN, and a Citrix server, which works fine

Can Not Select An Install Path Or Anything Though?

Jun 25, 2009

Ok, so I'm at the point where I'd like to publish my app and see what problems may arise while it "runs" normally after an installation. I've never actually published an app before or deployed one.I have VB 2005 Pro and was assuming there was some kind of "upgraded" publishing feature over the Express edition, but they appear to be the same. When I publish, I am left with a folder that has these files:

[code]...

when I double click the setup file, it gives me the option to install, and I do. I can not select an install path or anything though. The application is running fine.What I'm curious about though is I have databound controls in the application with an Access DB file as a resource. Once I install the application, where do I go to manually edit the .mdb file? and where is it installing my App too? It also creates some text files which I can't seem to locate either.So what's the normal procedure for building a project, specifying output path etc, and providing the end-user a "nice looking" (read not default) setup/installation screen?

Deployment :: Enable User To Define Install Location?

Jul 26, 2009

My freeware program launches 50 freeware programs and provides a guide for PC maintenance and health. As mentioned in another post, my program was reviewed on Sofpedia. One thing the Reviewer criticized was the fact that my program requires the user to install these 50 programs in the default locations (usually C:Program Filesx). The reviewer thinks it would be best if the user can install to any location he/she desires and my program be able to point to the proper location when launching the application.

Install Location For Prerequisites Has Not Been Set To 'component Vendor's Web Site'

Jun 6, 2010

I created a small project in VB using a SQLExpress db. So far everything has been fine. I need to take the little I've done to the customer for a look and feel approval.

When attempting to publish the project, I get the following errors:

"The install location for prerequisites has not been set to 'component vendor's web site' and the file...." You know the drill.

The two files are SQLEXPR32_x86_ENU.EXE and SQLEXPR_x64_ENU.EXE

I have downloaded the files and put them in the following directory:

When that didn't work, I copied them to

VS 2008 - Path For ClickOnce Installer Changed During Install

Oct 9, 2009

I have a ClickOnce app that has been working fine for a couple months, until a day or two back some internal politics borked the server. The result of this was that the path for ClickOnce during install changed just slightly at one intermediate level. It used to have /is/ in the path, and the is has changed to something else. I changed everything I could find, including recreating the whole target directory in IIS on the server. However, when I publish, though the link is correct, installation is failing. The log shows that, after checking and installing some prerequisites, the installation is attempting to go back to that /is/ path to find the app for installation.

Can anybody suggest where that invalid path is located? I have gone through every property I can find in Project|Properties, and they are correct. I have looked in App.config, and that is correct. Where else should I be looking?

How can I search the local disk for a file type and copy the full path to a new location. I am trying to write a backup program that will copy all pst files to the server while maitaining the structure, so if there is a pst located in "C:pstuserpersonal1.pst" it would create the folder "\serverpstuserpersonal1.pst" and copy the file to the correct location. I would need it to do this for each pst on the hard drive no matter the location. The user running the program will not have admin rights, so it will need to skip files it cannot access.
