Running Code Without Admin Access?
Sep 10, 2008
I recently just started working somewhere which will involve me coding VB in MS Visual Studio .NET 2003. I've been trying to refresh myself in VB by reading things online, but I just discovered an error while trying to run some practice programs (attached as error.png). Basically it says that I need administrator access.I'm waiting on an IT guy to grant it to me, but in the meantime I'm trying to figure out if there's a way that I can test my code without being an administrator.

I just need to run a simple program that requires .NET 2.0 on a computer on which I only have restricted User rights..I have permission from my supervisor to do this but he would rather not call in the IT guy to install it.So is there any way I can run this program (i dont need to run it multiple times) on this computer?

I am wondering if it is possible to run an application from a domain account that has restrictions on running .exe files by coding in the local administrator details (username / password).

I need to run my program as admin because it accesses the registry on load. Well I wanted to implement a drag and drop feature but have come to find there is a access issue with running as admin and the dragenter event. Is there any known workarounds for this? I have searched all over the place.Just a side note I only need to get the file location from the item being dragged in...

How can I do this? threading? Backgroundworker?

on XP Pro, IsUserRole(eUserType.Administrator) returns true, if the class is administrator, and false if it's limited...
On Vista, it returns true, if it's the first administrator account, and false for anything else... I created a second administrator account on Vista, and it shows in code as "Standard" (or limited) user, the same as if I made a "Managed Account" on Vista...
My

Every time I make a application and distribute it, Vista users always have to set it as "Run as Administrator" for it to work... Is there any way to make it to where they don't need to do this?

I am trying to read some data from the MBR using CreateFile, but I cannot get it to work without admin rights. The code I am using is like this:
hDevice = CreateFile("\.PhysicalDrive0", GENERIC_READ, FILE_SHARE_READ Or FILE_SHARE_WRITE, 0, OPEN_EXISTING, 0, 0)
Is it possible to read data from the MBR without admin rights?

I'm creating a program that users will login to and I'm trying to make different user levels. I have the login and registration part done. But i need the user levels part. I know i can use a billion if then statements for each admin i have but that will be thousands lines of code afterwards. So I thought up maybe i can check the column name admin and see if its set to true. Or even check another table to see if the user is in that table then load a different form.
Dim conn As MySqlConnection
'connect to DB
conn = New MySqlConnection()

Also I'm using Visual Studio 2008 express and was wondering if this would work also even though its for 2005 Do to I see the flaw in hard coding it into the program. Any hacker who de .exe it can get a hold of my information and use it against me. And if not how would i go about in 2008 and use it. [URL]

Is it possible to have code running in the background and still be able to use other parts of the program (i.e. firing other events).For example I have a instant messaging chat in my program and when the user has a new message then the display flashes from green to red as seen below
[code]...
But I still want to be able to continue using the other functions in my program despite having this code running in the background (which highlights to the user that he has a new instant message by changing the display background colour)How can I overcome this?

I have been working on them and adding to them for several months. Out of nowhere, one of the subs in my project is not recognizing updated code. I had a for loop in there that was acting funny so I changed something and noticed no difference. I messed with it for a while and decided to just replace everything in that sub with a simple msgbox and it still tries to run the code that was previously there. I have built the solution, rebuilt it, cleaned it, closed and reopened it, removed the bin and obj folders and restarted my computer several times. This is not a server program or anything dealing with IIS or anything like that.

I have an application that checks the available disk space on the host machine and, if the free space is less than some constant, calls a batch which e-mails people who should be notified about such things using sendemail.exe.The VB code works properly, calling the .bat exactly as it's supposed to, and the .bat (when run independantly) works properly, sending of a lovely e-mail.But, when I put them together, the batch file reports that "'sendemail' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.".I'm well aware of how the PATH variable works and have been sure that the path to the .bat is within PATH (hence why it works when I just run it from the command prompt). I can only assume that, somehow, PATH does not apply to processes run from VB.NET for some reason.
VB.NET segment:
If FREESPACE > GetFreeSpace(DRIVE) Then
'Not enough free space

I am trying to fire off an FTP of files. I have broken down the code to the barest minimum. I have used the Shell Command with success before but the solution is now evading me.
Sub Main()
Dim strGetFileCommand As String
strGetFileCommand = ("c:\Windows\System32\FTP.exe -i -n -s:getcash.scr 10.113.1.7>113Log.txt")
Shell ("cmd /c" & strGetFileCommand)
End Sub
I can run the command from the c:> prompt at the command line so I know that it is correctly formed.

I am an end user of a VB based program and our windows 95 based machines are dying of old age. Before getting my boss to agree to my trying out a newer machine I would like to know if there is any chance of getting this program to run.
I know that I need to be able to drive 3 serial (485 / 422/ 232) ports one of which is on an ISA bus and the other 2 are located internally on the motherboard. Another factor in trying to do this is the drivers are missing for the 485 card and I hoped
to be able to locate newer drivers easier.I think the VB code was created under VB3, but we do not have the expertise / tools to be able to disassemble the .exe file.
