Saving To Virtual Store In Windows 7 - Access Denied
Jan 14, 2010
Testing out a VB.net prog in Windows 7 that works ok in Vista and earlier. The users can set various options and save them for next time. In pre Vista this goes in the program directory in program files, in Vista it is transparently put into the user's virtual store.However, in Windows 7 trying to save the file gives an access denied error although the virtual store exists as for Vista and other apps appear to be using it ok.
I am having a windows application. That downloads files from server and write into the local directory. It works fine. When we try the same appliication in Windows 7. IT shows an error Access to the path denied (While writing to the local directory).
I am testing the operation on Windows 7 client computer of a program developed using VS 2003 (vb.net coding) and Access 2003 data bases. The program works fine on XP and Vista client machines. On Windows 7, however, there is a problem with just one operation: the compacting and repair of the Access 2003 databases.
The compacting and repair operation uses JetEngine and CompactDatabase statement as per the Microsoft link: [URL] Windows 7 throws up the error: "Access to the ....mdb database is denied" - that is access denied to the database being compacted.
I am trying to migrate from XP & Net 2005 to Windows 7 & Net 2010 My intention was to replicate net 2005 first & get projects working before installing net 2010, as I envisaged all sorts of learning tasks which I could resolve at a snaill pace whilst still being able to operate with net 2005
Stage 1 was to load 2005 on Windows 7, no problems yet.
Stage 2 open the Virtual Cryptainer drive
Stage 3 load a project ( was never a problem with XP)
Stage 4 project errors reported as not being able to access linked modules in another folder
Windows 7 seems to have more folder security/permissions than XP, so I altered as many folders being associated with the project but to no avail.By changing the virtual drive folder permissions are they amended on the drive folders (if so how would this affect going back to XP)
are the folder permissions somehow stored in the registry, which means if I restore an old virtual drive from backup, does W7 now know the permissions & apply them to the back up drive, even though those folders were never accessed in W7?By the way, anybody reading this that does not know about Cryptainer, should look at it very seriously, I now have no data files on drive C, & all my data files in the cryptainer vault are compact & virtually impossible to be opened without a password up to 100 char long!
My VB 6.0 application is using the remote server ( windows 2003 ) to connect database. for that i have used UNC path to connect . i am successfully login and able to access application. but i am getting the following error when i am trying to populate/tab feilds with data on tha application:
"Runtime error 70 access denied"
the same thing is working fine on windows XP machines but not working on windows 7 machine.
Ok I know this question has been asked to death but I still have not seen a good answer. I have created an application in VS2010 using VB.NET. In my application I have an error log that is an XML file located in the Public gstLocalErrorLogLocation As String = Application.StartupPath & "ErrorLog"that gets written to in the event of an error so I can trouble shoot application easier. My application also downloads files from our FTP site and puts the files in Public gstLocalDownloadLocation As String = Application.StartupPath & "download"So I have files that get read and written to as well and created and deleted all in the Application.StartupPath which is either "c:Program Files(Application Directory)(Some Directory)(Some File)" or "c:Program Files (x86)(Application Directory)(Some Directory)(Some File)" depending on 32bit or 64bit Windows 7.
After creating the setup I install it on my test machine that have both Windows 7 32bit and 64bit.Everything in the application works great till I have to write to, delete or creat a file in those directories above. I know it is an access issue and the UAC. This will get installed on numerous systems so the options I have seen to change file or folder permission on the computers manually is not an option.What has to happen is after I install the application it just works like when you install it on XP. Some post have suggested that you us a user with administrator privilages or group which is all fine and dandy but the user I have used to test the application has all of that.
So what I am asking is how do you create an application with VS2010 in VB.NET that after creating a setup package and installing on Windows 7 will just work with out "Access to the path c:Program Files(Application Directory)(Some Directory)(Some File) is denied." If I have to install this on 100 Windows 7 computers it has to be a concreate no manually doing anything just install and work like when we installed on XP.
I'm working on a simple data logging program, and I have little to no database experience. I wrote a little VB forms app to log the data to ms access and then graph the data, but I'm having trouble with adding records to the database. First, I created a simple one table database in access. Then, I added the database to the project as a data source, and gave it a data set using the wizard. Right now my code looks like this:
[Code]...
There are no problems during build or run time, but I do not see changes to database after the program runs.
screwed up User Access Control, some functionality does not inherit the accounts true privileges. I built a Command Prompt application and ran it from an Admin account, but I kept getting access denied when I ran it. The only work around I can find for now to shut the dam thing off in control panel.
i doing a window app using vs2005 to download file using FTP to my c drive it have no error when i run it in window xp but when i test it in vista i facing a problem stating access to path "c:program file...." is denied any work around can be apply to it? i know if i grant the folder security to everyone then this problem will be solve but if do so i need to configure it 1 by 1 for every computer
I am having a problem with my application I encounter this problem in windows 7 only but in windows XP it is working fine. When I install my application onwindows 7, any file must have an option when I right-click the any files. Here is the code of my project:
Dim WP As RegistryKey = Registry.ClassesRoot.CreateSubKey("*\shell\Upload through ACE\command") WP.SetValue("", Application.ExecutablePath & " " & Chr(34) & "%1" & Chr(34))
infile = New FileStream(SOURCE_FILE, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.Read) ' Open the file as a FileStream object.
I am receiving the error message, Access to the path '....' is denied. I have gone through the file/folder properties of my target folders and I thought I gave full access to the items I am targetting but it doesn't seem to help. What else should I try to avoid this error?
I am trying to copy data from folder (SC1) to another folder (SC2 in Local AppData).Basically my steps:
1. User click hotkey (To capture image)
2. Data captured will be save in folder sc1 (sc.CaptureScreen.Save("sc1/" & imagename & ".jpg", System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg))
3. Then data in sc1 will be copied to folder sc2
Protected Overrides Sub WndProc(ByRef m As System.Windows.Forms.Message) If m.Msg = WM_HOTKEY Then Dim id As IntPtr = m.WParam Select Case (id.ToString)

After I execute the program, got an error saying ' Access to the path 'C:Documents and Settings ewuserMy Documentsackup 2editlatestU-Surf SysteminDebugsc1' is denied?
ran into an issue but i have no idea why. I made a program that reads in a text file. I tested the program and it worked perfectly. I made the setup file using the setup wizard, installed the program on my computer and tried to test it and it gave me anerror about not being able to access the text file. I attempted to run the program right in VS because it had worked fine before and now even in that i am getting an error saying it cant access the text file. I dont know why it did work and now suddenly it
I keep receiving the access denied error when running a Wql event query through VS 2005 (vb.net)

I can run a CMD line PING xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx and it works every time.Can someone assist as where and what I need to change to get these to work properly?The VB6 version works on another machine.

I have a problem in SQL provider, when i type server name in my code it connect without any errors but if I want user to type the server name it gives an error "SQL does not exist or access is denied".
Hereunder what I mean. In the below code I typed server name and it connect without any problems conn.ConnectionString = "Provider=SQLOLEDB;server=cai-magedh-lt2;database=Att;user id=;pwd="<br/>
Dim target as Process = Process.GetProcessesByName("process")(0)Process.EnterDebugMode() Dim ModHandle as Integer = Nothing For d as Integer = 0 to target.Modules.Count -1 If target.Modules(d).FileName.Contains("mydll") Then ModHandle = target.Modules(d).BaseAddress.ToInt32 Next VB gives me an "Access is denied" error.
I am trying to write some code to read the application pools from a remote machine and then eventually I will want to recycle one of the pools. I am trying to use the following code to retrieve the application pools, however I am getting an Access Denied error on the For Each line. There is no inner exception, so that is all I have to work with.
Dim connection As New ConnectionOptions connection.Username = "administrator" connection.Password = "password"
[code]....
The account I am trying with right now is the box administrator account.The machine is not part of a domain and it is windows 2003 server with the firewall off.I know the username and password are correct, because if they are not I get an error on the Scope.Connect() line.I even rebooted after that change, just to be sure, but still no luck.
Using the following sub to download a file I receive an "Access to the path 'path' is denied" no matter where I try to download it to even if I run the program as an administrator.Why do I get an access denied error?
I've seen a lot of threads in respect to file access denial, but haven't really found one that suited my particular issue. In my application the part that's not permitting the file to be saved is in the below code. I have 21 text boxes that I'm writing to a file that when in the developmental environment (Visual Studio 2010) works just fine however, when I create a setup program and then install it to a directory I get the infamous "Access to the path 'C:Program Files (x86)Blah, blah' umbers.dat is denied." before uninstalling it I took a look at the permissions on the file itself and ReadOnly is not the issue. I tried looking at the FileIOPermission Class, but find anything that would work for me or perhaps I was doing something wrong. [code]
To write a new file to the hard drive Ive always used for example:- FileOpen(1, "C:\FileName.txt", OpenMode.Output) Trying this today I get an error message Access to the path 'C:\Check.txt' is denied.MSDN say I should use: - Dim file As System.IO.FileStream file = System.IO.File.Create("c:\test.txt")So although I couldnt see how to specify the mode I tried: Dim file As System.IO.FileStream file = System.IO.File.Create("c:\Check.txt")With exactly the same result Access to the path 'C:\Check.txt' is denied. It says I dont have permission.
