Force Multiple Instance Of A Standalone (3rd Party) Application
Jul 14, 2009
I need to be able to run multiple instances of a standalone (3rd party) application. This application prevents multiple instances from being ran from within the application. I need to basically override this.
I know it can be accomplished by hexing the original executable, however I would like to stay away from this method as I'd like for other users to be able to use my application from the get go without needing to hex the 3rd party app themselves or me having to send them the hexed app. Is there any way to achieve this or am I just taking crazy pills?

I have set the "Make single instance application" check box.And when my application version is 1.0.0.0 for example, it is OK and won't load multiple instances.But when I create a new version, for example 1.0.0.1, then I can run 2 instances of my application, when the 1st instance is 1.0.0.0 and the second instance is 1.0.0.1.What should I do to prevent this?

I have created a windows form application, but when i publish it (to cd setting), and then try and install it, (on windows 7, only tried there so far), I get a cannot open or read mainfest file, or cannot connect to download from the original pc's IP address error messages.
I have spent considerable time relearning visual basic (used microsoft basic man many years ago), and now want to use the program on my other computers I can upload/paste the error file if needed

I'm trying to learn Crystal Reports (VS 2005, VB) and per this question I was trying to drive the report with my own data objects instead of through a DB connection.
I found this tutorial and it looked promising as an answer to my question, but after diving in it only seems to apply to web development.
Am I out of luck in trying to power a Crystal Report with .NET objects in a standalone application?

I am writing a program in VB.net (vs 2008) that requires that only one instance of the executable be running at a time. Naturally I went for the simple solution by selecting the "Make single instance application" checkbox in the Project properties. Unfortunately, this option does not seem to work across multiple users that are logged into a single XP machine, thereby causing the same issues for my program as if I were able to run multiple instances on one single user. Granted this is a corner case, that someone would switch users while my program is running, but I'd like to understand the limitations. So my question is whether the "Make single instance application" property is supposed to work across multiple users? or is it limited to only one-instance-per-user.
Here are the steps the recreate the issue (prereqs: computer with XP pro installed, 2 user accounts (not on a Windows Domain), and a dummy "single instance" program created using the property mentioned above):
1) Log in with user1, start up the single instance program
2) Switch to user2 (StartMenu -> LogOff -> Switch User)
3) Start up the single instance program using user2
*After step 3, the program launches without complaint even though another instance is running on user1. Is this a glitch? or by design?

I have a single instance VB 2010 application I know how to communicate with the next instances run through the StartupNextInstance application event. The usual way of working with this is parsing command line arguments of the new instance and continue execution of the old instance. What I would like to do is replace the running instance with the new one. Is there any way to do this other than disabling the single instance property ?

I am writing a small application that will display some info to my end user. I have another program that the end user will have open while running my appplication. What I am trying to do is have my application launch itself (and maintain positioning if other app location changes) and "tether" itself to the other application.Ideally the top left of my application would attach to the top right of the other application.I have tried for countless hours working with the GetWindowPos API but the values returned are either all zeros or it just doesn't work.I do a Try/Catch to see if the other app is running and I fetch the Handle of the process. This works fine. Then I try to get the positioning of this process and set my .Left property to the returned RECT's .Left property. no dice.This is Visual Basic 2005 ExpressOther application is a PuTTY window that is not a fullscreen app.

I am trying to read text from a 3rd party application. I can create a catalogue of all possible letter variations. I can store every possible character I encounter as a small bmp, or perhaps as an array/matrix of pixel values. For example:
xxxxOOxxxx
xxxxOOxxxx
xxxxOOxxxx
xxxxOOxxxx
xxxxOOxxxx
the letter "I" could be represented in a 10x5 array or matrix as above. Where x represents a wildcard pixel value, but O represents the expected/pre-defined RGB value.
I want to search specific areas of the screen, pixel by pixel where I expect to find the information I'm after. And convert this to usable information. What method gives the best trade-off for simplicity and speed? And how can I implement this method? How do I search for a bmp within a bmp at specific coordinates?

I have a self-hosted WCF service (VB) residing on a server. This service has a method, which I call from another application, that is supposed to kick off a .cmd file which calls a 3rd party program.
My WCF has used both the old Shell() command and the Process() object. Both can call the .cmd file (located on the server's local drive). The .cmd file looks like this:
CODE:
Now I know the .cmd file (saved as Letter.cmd) is firing because when I check the txt file after testing my app, the before/after statements have been written. However, the 3rd party application does not start.
Now the weird part -- if I double click the cmd file from explorer, the test statements are written to the text file AND the 3rd party application kicks off. Runs great.
I've double-checked the application and corresponding files to make sure NETWORK_SERVICE has permissions and my service is running under that account.

IDE: VS 2005 Pro
Language: VB
I am trying to figure out the right steps to have an installer for my application. My application is dependent on a 3rd party software application and obviously needs to be part of the installtion process. I am able to utilize the features of the 3rd party software via ActiveX control or COM.
1. What options do I have for sucessfully installiing theses softwares?
2. I have noticed there is "Interop.3rdPartyApp.dll" in the "release" folder. How do I use this? Where can I get more details on this file?

I have written an application for a customer, and the application is run in various locations around the world. The company carefully controls the release of the software to the various buildings where it is being used, and because of this, I have made use of the "Check for updates" feature. The problem I am faced with, is that the folks using this software more often than not answers "NO" when prompted to download and install the latest version of the application. This is unacceptable and ultimately, we'll need to go in and have them manually install the software.
We don't publish updates to the software w/o meaning for them to be necessary, and I find it hard to believe that Microsoft doesn't recognize this sort of thing as being needed when they designed the update procedures. Alas, this seems to be the case.

I want to access a 3rd Party application in the background with the SendMessage method. It just needs to send a "space" to the software to trigger an action. It is important that this is done in the background because its a periodic event (ca. every 10 seconds), and it should be possible to simultaneously work on the same machine.
I tried to use the same approach which is shown in [URL]
The code I used is as follows:
Const WM_CHAR = &H102
Const BM_CLICK As Long = &HF5&
Private Declare Function SendMessage Lib "user32" Alias "SendMessageA" (ByVal hwnd
