View 7 RepliesI have made my app check for an update then if there is an update download the updated version and then close itself. But before it closes, it saves a text file with the startup location of itself. Then when the updated app opens it deletes the old app by getting the old app location from the text file.
but it will only delete the old app if it has admin rights. how can you start (compile) a app with admin right in vb 2008. how to compile app with admin rights.

I've written a service in VB and a config app for the service which has a service start/stop button. In order to start and stop the service you need admin rights, under Windows 7 you right click on the exe and "run as administrator". This works ok, I've used the Visual Studio Installer to also create a desktop shortcut, but if you right click on the shortcut there is no way to run as administrator.
The question therefore is, how to run the shortcut as an admin user? Edit, if you hold shift down whilst right clicking you get the "Run as administrator" option, but you still can't change the advanced property to tick the box as its grayed out.
I am trying to build a self-updating .NET application that will run in an environment with limited user accounts. No admin rights here. The application must run on Vista and XP, and probably Win 7 when it comes out.An X-copy deployment would be fine. I would prefer NOT to use click-once.So far I have tried a system where the application checks a manifest and downloads updated binaries, which worked great in development, but not so much when the app was installed.Vista refuses to to let me copy files to Program Files. After that, I tried downloading an updated .msi, which works except that the MSI has a UAC prompt -- no go if the user does not have an account with local admin privileges.
running the program in AppData and using the x-copy method might work, but I have not seen anyone say that they have tried it and it did work. Will that work for an account without admin rights? Can anyone vouch for this method before I start writing more code?
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?
Is there a way I can use VS 2008 to monitor a Windows Server 2008 (R2) that I do not have admin rights to? We run a SQL Server 2008 installation on it, and I am concerned there may be issues with the OS but no one from our ISIT Support group seems able to find any problems. I've asked for remote desktop connectivity but keep being denied, and so I'm trying to find a work around. I'm OK with VS 2005 and have not used VS 2008, but figured 2008 would have the most current functionality. Basically I would like to build a Windows Performance Monitor to connect to the server from my desktop.

View 1 RepliesI want a sure-shot method to test if the application was run via the UAC box and has full administrative rights. Earlier, I thought of making a folder in C:Windows for testing but running it on other computers proved to be a failure!
The UAC box provides all administrative rights to the computer to do anything(including making folders and creating files in places which needs there rights) and also makes sure that any child program so called or created also does have the same rights as the parent.Is there a sure-shot way to test if my application has been provided all the administrative rights that I can maximum get by the user while running the application or not? If yes, I would be glad to have to piece of code-work!
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.

This sounds weird and dumb but supposedly is this possible to run .Net application without installing .net framework? Is there anyway of embedding reference .dlls into the respective application? This came in my mind because I made a small notepad application in vb.net < 1mb in size and to run it, it requires full .net framework.
View 1 RepliesI am writing my first application in VB 2008 Express with .NET Framework versions 2.0, 3.0 and 3.5 installed. When completed, I assume the application will need to check whether it is running under .NET Framework version 3.5 or later. I have not found any properties that I could get which would give me this information about the environment in which the application is running. Is this something that the non-user code in which my application is wrapped by the IDE checks, or is it something that I have to check myself within the application ? If the latter, how would I do that ?
