Here's a drilled-down version of what I'm trying to do.
Module Module1
Sub Main()
Dim regType As Microsoft.Win32.RegistryValueKind = Microsoft.Win32.RegistryValueKind.String
Dim regKey As String = "SOFTWAREFOOBAR"
[code]....
On Windows XP, this works fine. On my Windows 7 64 machine, if I simply run the executable normally, it throws an exception - something along the lines that access to HKCUSOFTWAREFOOBAR is denied. I'm typing this from my XP machine so I don't have the exact message at the moment, but that is the gist of it.
Now, if I run the executable in administrator mode, then it works fine. The intuitive explanation is that writing to HKCU requires elevated privileges. But I've run Steam on the Win7 machine, and I'm pretty sure Steam writes to HKCU without needing elevated privileges. Just running it while logged in as an admin is enough. So, is it possible for me to write a program that creates keys in HKCU too, without needing the user to manually invoke admin mode?
I use a custom tool to translate a flat text to xml text. I then create the file, with over-write set to True. When I try to write the text to the file, I get the error. The error says "Error: Invalid procedure call or argument", "System: Access is denied." It seems like the Create command is holding the file locked, so the Write command fails.
Running in VbsEdit IDE, I can see it fail. If I copy the text which is trying to be written, and paste it into UltraEdit, then attempt to save the file there, I get the same error This is expected, because the VBScript execution is holding the file locked. It should NOT be holding it locked for the script itself, right?[code]...
when i tried to saving value to My.Settings its just work fine on windows xp. but when i ran on windows 7, VS2008 told me to change permission on My.Setting to writeable.
I have an application which reads and writes to the registry. If the programs starts, it looks if the registry keys exists. If not it create the keys. All this is working fine on a Windows XP machine.
Now we moved to Windows 7 and it is not possible to write to the keys. First I need to go to the registry and add permissions. Then it works !
Is it possible to change the permissions in the .Net code and make it able to write to the registry without changing permissions through regedit ?
I am using impersonate user to copy files form one location to other.Only impersonate user will have write permission on the destination folder.But i want to check before if that user has write permission before i copy file.Currently i could able to get it using try catch exception, for that i need to perform the copy file process.
How can I determine whether the person using my app has permission to create and write to a file in a given directory? I would prefer to not use some sort of try/catch.
I know the propertys transparency key and opacity. It isnt what I am looking for. I need to have my form to have the same Glass Effect the as win7 does while runing under win7 plataform. Like, if i have glass effect in the top I should have it in the background.
I am using Visual Studio 2008 on Windows XP SP3. User has Windows 7 Pro (32 bit). The IO code below works for me. The read code works for user, but the write code only works for new files. If the user tries to overwrite a current data file, then no data is written to disk. I have done all the usual IO checking (valid file name, etc.) and have excluded it from my same code. In my app, FileSave and FileSaveAs both call WriteDataFile(FullFileName). Any reasons why FIleSave would work on Windows XP, but not on Windows 7 Pro (32 bit)?
Code: Public Function ReadDataFile(ByVal FullFileName As String) As Integer ' reads a Data file from disk ' ' Format is a text file, with [TAB] seperators and [CR][LF] as line terminators
I created a program which was deleting a particular directory for me. The program was compiled and working. Today I run the same program...did not do any system updates and now it won't delete my specified directory. I ran tests to make sure the directory is there when testing...I keep getting access/permission errors.
I rebooted system, ran my application...still gave me error. I turned off Windows Defender...still got error. If I manually delete the directory...no problem.
Is there a way to get system permission to delete the directory? I am being given an 'access denied' error...I do not have permission. I tried running my application as administrator...no good. - VB 2008 Express - VISTA OS
In my web application we have many users. I want to set permission for each user. In our windows application we used Database to store the Permission(Insert,Modify,delete and View). In web application can anybody tell me about where to store the permission. Somebody told that if we use database it will take so much time? In the case of XML it is easy and not taking much time. But if the client set permission for number of users,then it will create problem?.
(Permission means in case of "Category" page which user can view the Category page,which user can edit information about category,which user can delete information of category,which user can add new category)
Modifying a registry key we could 'write-protect' our USBs, and I wanted to make a program that would do such but I am getting a permission problem in adding a registry key to the local machine. My development machine is Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit but I would want it that it will be able to run on other OS like XP and 32 bits. My thought is that I will use autorun and run my program so that upon insertion it will become 'write-protected' and be able to re-enable it also using the program.
Public Sub Share() Dim managementClass As New ManagementClass("Win32_Share") Dim inParams As ManagementBaseObject = managementClass.GetMethodParameters("Create")
I was thinking of a function that returns boolean and using remove at.. but maybe removing all and only adding the ones have permission too? [code]But I have 15 pages and want to loop through these.
I am using Caspol.exe to install a custom Permission set and add Code Groups for my .Net 2.0 Windows Application.
I have created a Console Application that uses caspol.exe to add Permission Set and Code Groups. I first install the Permission Set and if I do not get an error, I continue to install the Code Groups
Now sometimes I need to add a new Code Group to the client machine, so I make the changes to the console app and it is executed on the client machine. If the client machine already has the Permission Set installed, it returns an error and stops the further processing.
So, I want to know if I can check whether a custom Permission Set is already added or not?
VB.NET application which allows user to split a file in smaller files. However the stand alone executable of the application,had a permission problem using filestream to read a file without an OutOfMemory exception, while selecting to split locatein certain directories like "C:".To solve the problem i checked My Project window and the "Security" tab, and i tried checking the checkbox: "Enable ClickOnce Security Setting" and selecting "fulltrust application". This added to my app.manifest these lines of code:
I'm writing an application in which a user can add, change and delete members from a list of members, and the adding and changing is done in a dialog box with some input fields.The problem is that when the user presses the OK button it should test whether some combobox is still empty, since this will otherwise return nothing and that will create an error somewhere else in the program. I do this within the OK_Button_Click event of the dialog box by testing whether the selectedItem is equal to nothing, if not it calls me.close, but if it is equal to nothing it displays a messagebox indicating that the user should still pick something from that combobox.Now the problem: when the OK button is clicked in the messagebox the dialog box also closes, even though the me.close isn't executed.

I have installed Visual basic 2010 Express and SQL Sever 2008 r2 Express and when I try to make a connection using the Data Source Configuration wizard, it shows "You don't have permission to open this file. Contact the owner..." I found some similar questions at the forum but are not exactly the same problem. So I would like some help. I am running my lap as administrator.
Like InstallShield, you can choose installation settings without admin permission, but when you click Install, a system confirmation message appear (and that button has the shield icon).
I've written a service that runs with the credential of the user "SYSTEM", this service recursively enumerates the subdirectory of a given directory. My goal is to change the file permission of the directories enumerated. For example I want to set/unset
