Script File Write Permission Error
Sep 17, 2009
I use a custom tool to translate a flat text to xml text. I then create the file, with over-write set to True. When I try to write the text to the file, I get the error. The error says "Error: Invalid procedure call or argument", "System: Access is denied." It seems like the Create command is holding the file locked, so the Write command fails.
Running in VbsEdit IDE, I can see it fail. If I copy the text which is trying to be written, and paste it into UltraEdit, then attempt to save the file there, I get the same error This is expected, because the VBScript execution is holding the file locked. It should NOT be holding it locked for the script itself, right?[code]...

How can I determine whether the person using my app has permission to create and write to a file in a given directory? I would prefer to not use some sort of try/catch.

This is a simple fragment of my code:
[Code]...
The last line throws an exception "Cannot open file" with certain end-user profiles. It works perfectly fine when executing from an Admin account. I just cannot figure out what user privileges and access settings may cause the error. Note that it also works with some end-user accounts (not admins). What missing user rights can cause this?

Here's a drilled-down version of what I'm trying to do.
Module Module1
Sub Main()
Dim regType As Microsoft.Win32.RegistryValueKind = Microsoft.Win32.RegistryValueKind.String
Dim regKey As String = "SOFTWAREFOOBAR"
[code]....
On Windows XP, this works fine. On my Windows 7 64 machine, if I simply run the executable normally, it throws an exception - something along the lines that access to HKCUSOFTWAREFOOBAR is denied. I'm typing this from my XP machine so I don't have the exact message at the moment, but that is the gist of it.
Now, if I run the executable in administrator mode, then it works fine. The intuitive explanation is that writing to HKCU requires elevated privileges. But I've run Steam on the Win7 machine, and I'm pretty sure Steam writes to HKCU without needing elevated privileges. Just running it while logged in as an admin is enough. So, is it possible for me to write a program that creates keys in HKCU too, without needing the user to manually invoke admin mode?

I am using impersonate user to copy files form one location to other.
Only impersonate user will have write permission on the destination folder.
But i want to check before if that user has write permission before i copy file.
Currently i could able to get it using try catch exception, for that i need to perform the copy file process

I'm trying to protect a folder and the files inside it. I'm able to protect the folder itself, so that if somebody clicks on it he will get a message: "You don't currently have permission to access this folder!"

I am concatinating a couple of text files and then deleting the individual files. (Not the output file)
The only problem is that I am getting a permission error "Exception from HRESULT: 0x800A0046 (CTL_E_PERMISSIONDENIED)" when I try to delete the files.
I can delete the files using the code below if I do not concatinate the files but as soon as I do I cannot delete them.
To concatinate:
Public Sub MeltText()
Dim SW As New IO.StreamWriter(OutPutFile)
Dim Files As String() = IO.Directory.GetFiles(StartDirectory, "*.txt")
Dim File As String

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've got a problem whereby I get Permission Denied while accessing a database via OleDB. I know how to unlock this but i'm not permitted to do so. I was wondering if ODBC would work? I'm not sure on the settings around this on my the PC where I'm going to use this application but wonder if this has less security around it. your thoughts until I can test this next week. Or is there another way you may know that I can use a database. (access)

Im trying to write to a file I created and place "Unregistered" in it. Thought it would be a simple task but keep getting an error. Its happening when I try and open the file to write. This is the error: Access to the path 'G:\Projects\Project\pbss\bin\Debug\5\pbssv\Data.DB' is denied.
Ive tried adding the file attributes to read-write and still get the same. Most of the code ive looked at via a google search points to the same as ive got for the Added default value area. Im not sure if there is a conflict between the 2 different ways im accessing the file when creating and writing too? [Code]

I have installed Visual basic 2010 Express and SQL Sever 2008 r2 Express and when I try to make a connection using the Data Source Configuration wizard, it shows "You don't have permission to open this file. Contact the owner..." I found some similar questions at the forum but are not exactly the same problem. So I would like some help. I am running my lap as administrator.

I'm having trouble with copying file with permission. In my program, my objective is just to copy a file to another directory, however I'm having some permission problems with "Access to path denied" error appearing when I run the program. I'm logged on in the computer with an Administrator account, and I kept having that error. I can manually copy the file, with UAC dialog box popping up. (I'm using Server 2008, I don't want changing UAC settings/permissions in the computer)
how can I copy a file to another directory, with an administrator permission? Is this possible? Can you give me a sample code.
Here is the code I used for copying the file.
Dim sourcefile As String = "C:Sample Path Location" & "thefile.exe"
Dim destinationfile As String = "D:Sample Path Location" & "thefile.exe"
System.IO.File.Copy(sourcefile, destinationfile)

My.Computer.FileSystem.DeleteDirectory("folder location here", FileIO.DeleteDirectoryOption.DeleteAllContents)
I created a program which was deleting a particular directory for me. The program was compiled and working. Today I run the same program...did not do any system updates and now it won't delete my specified directory. I ran tests to make sure the directory is there when testing...I keep getting access/permission errors.
I rebooted system, ran my application...still gave me error. I turned off Windows Defender...still got error. If I manually delete the directory...no problem.
Is there a way to get system permission to delete the directory? I am being given an 'access denied' error...I do not have permission. I tried running my application as administrator...no good. - VB 2008 Express - VISTA OS

I have an issue with the Windows permission system. And every time it tries to do something that needs a windows permission (to be ran as administrator) it fails !
At the moment I was trying to implement an updater which should download a file from an ftp site but because copying a file into one of the program files folder requires a permission I am not able to do this.
