View 1 RepliesI have created a Windows service that runs on one of our servers. The service lisens to incoming connections on a set socket port, runs a series of WMI queries on the requested computer in a new thread (the socket accepts a string value as input which is the hostname to scan), creates an xml file based on the collected data, and posts it back to a webserver. This works perfectly on all WMI queries, but i have one function that gets all installed software from the requested host using the RegistryKey.OpenRemoteBaseKey method to get all keys from the "SOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionUninstall" key on the target host. If the the target machine OS is Window Vista or 7, it returns no values. If i run this code on the target machine it works, but not from the service on a server. The service is installed and runs with full domain administrator rights. I guess this is a permission issue, but i have not found a good solution on how to solve it on the internet. As a workaround i use WMI to get a list of installed software from computers running Vista or 7. The problem with the WMI method is that it's very slow. It takes 10 - 15 seconds just to loop thru all ManagementObjects in the Querycollection. Maybe i could filter the WMI query better before starting the loop ?

View 1 RepliesI am running VS 2010 Professional and have a solution with 3 VB projects in it.

View 1 RepliesI am been working on an a small app that has a Forms.Webbrowser control that navigates to a Adobe Flash program. I have developed the app on Vista 32bit platform and have had no problems. I have sent the app to a couple of people to test out and one is using Vista 64bit and is running into a problem. I know the webbrowser control just uses the underlying base framework of IE. The problem on the 64 bit machine is when the site is navigated to it says that it needs to have Flash installed. When the user goes to Adobe's site it says they need to use a 32bit browser.
As stated on Adobe site here:[URL] the Flash player need to be in a 32 bit browser. What options do I have to be able fix this problem? Is there another control that I can use that would be the same in a 32bit platform and 64bit platform? Besides navigating to the Flash program, the browser also goes to standard web pages.
