I made an application to give to my friends as practice for my learning, so the app works fine with XP but not on a Vista 64 bit machine. Will the app need re-coding? The app is used as a game mod, so it writes to process.

The program will allow me to attach the database and preview the file, but after compiling the file and starting the application I ge an empty database.
I have an old app, a VB5 front end with access 97 databases all works Ok using the ...program files... folders in XP but I now have a user on Vista and we have problems opening up, and I am braced for problems saving and closing down, if we ever get there.
I sent him a c# applet which found the users folder using string Dpath = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.LocalApplicationData);
I have moved the data and all settings files to a folder C:Users[Username]AppDataLocal[My app Name][My app data Path]
The start up routine checks a settings file uses the path in the settings to re-attach the front end database to a backend database, test to see if the database uses replication and set the default data path for the rest of the app. we are failing somewhere in here I am sure. I have checked and there are no updateable files in program files
Have I got the wrong path or is there something else I should be looking for?
I have an vs2008 version of the app which is using a similar location but a SQL server database- no problems
I have created an application using VB 2008 Express on an XP machine. I created a deployment package and installed it on other XP machines with no problems. I tried it on a Vista machine and all seemed well until performing a serial port function. It simply halts/locks up. I have to close it in task mangler. I thought I would circumvent the problem by building and publishing it on the Vista machine. While running the program from VB express the program functions perfectly on that Vista machine, but when I publish and install it on same it still crashes at the serial portion of the program.

We have code in our former VB6 application, that ported fine to VB.NET, that plays a simple AVI file of the typical "flying folders" and "spinning maginfying glass" AVI. Under Windows XP, our application ran fine and everything was good.
Then we had customers start using Vista and Win7 and this stuff crashes. We were using the MS Common Controls (SP4) and then (SP6) - utilizing the Animation player. Now - these dont work and we get nasty errors.
I searched Microsoft and the web to answer the "what now?" question and though there are numerous suggestions, none of them work. We cant use Media Player because we dont want any menu - just the graphic. We dont know why, with the cool tools given in .NET, there is no animation player (seems a huge oversight...) But we need to get "unstuck" on this one, and we need that fast...
So, How does on play a simple AVI file using VB.NET code? What DLL or OCX does Microsoft recommend and is there a place we can find some sample code for it?
I have an application written in VB.net, compiled and loaded on machines running XP, Vista and Server 2003. When I loaded it on a machine running Windows 7 64 bit, the application runs fine, but one window that has MenuItem controls does not work properly, instead of being able to change items from the collection, that area is just greyed. I loaded the .NET 4.0 framework on it in hopes of some miracle, but it still does not work.

is there "rules" as to how to close programs writting in vb.net(2008)?

Is anyone familiar with making a program compiled in visual basic .net compatible with windows vista 64 bit, The installer gets a runtime error initially but then If I runt it as administrator it runs fine, After it's installed I get a ocx error but when I run the program in admin mode again it works fine, How can I go about editing my program so that it doesn't come up with the errors. Can I get the program to initially run as the administrator?
View 1 RepliesBack when VBStudio 2005 was the latest in .net programming, I created a program that, among other things, sets the user's system clock after obtaining certain code from time.gov and adjusting it according to a set of numbers. Due to a change in one of the websites with which the program works, it stopped working. I downloaded VB2005 Express (since I reinstalled WinXP since then and didn't feel like looking for MSVB Studio 2005), opened the source code, and made the correction. The program now works in what appears to be its entirety in WinXP. However, when it attempts to perform the function I mentioned earlier on a Vista machine, an error (a built-in error I included in the program) appears. Note that even on a Vista machine, the program does have some functionality. All requests that the program makes to access other websites is done using HTTP web requests.
