I've tried various methods to search for files, but each time I encounter a "acces denied" error, which stops the search.Is there a way to scan for files, and skip the files it doesn't have access to, or force access to it?I want to gather all exe's on a specific drive. This works, when there are no restricted files/paths

Dim searchResults As String() = Directory.GetFiles(cboDrives.Text, "*.exe", SearchOption.AllDirectories)
I am trying to attach my mdf files to SQL server (using windows XP) but it gives operating system error (error 5), saying Access is denied to the dbMaster.mdf
View 1 RepliesWhen the program is launched it immediately says folder access denied. i am wondering if there is a way to skip that folder and go to the next one. I have tried try and if statement but they don't seem to work. Here is the code so far:
For Each file In My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles("c:", FileIO.SearchOption.SearchTopLevelOnly, "test.*")
ListBox1.Items.Add(file)

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 am having a problem. The IO.Directory.GetFiles code is resulting in error do to the fact that it is trying to access the Temp folder in the Windows folder on drive C:. Apparently that folder is restricted... When the code encounters that folder the code stops retrieving files. Is there a way around this? Is there somewhere i can give my program administrator access? If not then am i able to skip the files in that location?
I'm trying to run an EXE file using process.start.I've put in username, password and domain that it is accepting (it complains when I put the wrong password, and not when I put the right one, so it is checking etc), and that have local admin rights on the PC.However, when I try to run an EXE that's stored in Program Files, I cannot run it. It always says Access is Denied. When I copy that EXE to another folder, it runs perfectly![code]
View 2 RepliesIn all the years that I've been coding I have never come accross this issue or error. For the past 3 months I have been working on two separate apps. Initialy I started out with Win Vista and things were going great except for how slow my comp was running. So I reinstalled the Vista OS. Everything was going great until Mar 7th when this error just started occuring within my code.
"Access to the registry key 'HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareTornadoAppsSwift BudgetUser' is denied"
TornadoApps/Swift Budget are strings created upon App install or first run of App in VB 2008.The User value along with 9 other values were all working fine prior to Mar 7th.Now this line along with many others like it with defferent strings and values were working just fine till this week. So i figured that I'd just upgrade to Win7 hoping that would fix it. IT didn't. So I reformatted and installed fresh Win7 and still have the error. So I have figured out that it isn't my OS. Cuase it was working in Vista then just quit working.

To write a new file to the hard drive I�ve 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: est.txt")
So although I couldn�t 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 don�t have permission.
I'm trying to generate Office 2010 files (xlsx) in a vb.net project (Visual Studio 2010 fw 4.0).On my developing PC it works.

I'm struggling to think of a reason why I should be getting an 'Access denied' error when trying to save an Excel document opened through a program written in VB 2010 Express. The program is essentially glorified Excel automation. It converts information from hundreds of Excel documents into a few small text files in order to improve operation speed. The software is designed for use by no more than a dozen or so people in the office who are all editing these Excel documents (through the software), and saving changes. They edit a given document by selecting it in a list in the main form, which then changes the document to writeable and opens it for them. A FileSystemWatcher detects changes in the folder containing the Excel documents so that the aforementioned text files can be updated when the user saves the Excel document.

I am currently using the below code to upload a file and display progress. It works fine except there are a few things I would like to do differently.
I am using the main FTP account for my website which has access to all of my files. I set up a different FTP login to use that only has access to a specific folder, but when I try to use it I get: Error 550 No such file or directory or access denied.
This FTP account allows access to: mywebsite.com/upload/users/ only If strFTPAddress = mywebsite.com/upload/users/ I get error 550, I've tried a few other things too and it's told me that it's an invalid URI
Basically what I want to know is if and how I might be able to connect using my second FTP account so that I only have access to the upload/users/ directory.
Code:
I cannot figure out how to get past this error. I have 1) Given the user "everyone" access to the entire directory that this dll is contained in 2) Deleted the dll and rebuilt the project 3) Deleted the Temporary ASP.NET files in the Windows Directory 4) Restarted IIS 5) Tried to change to a different user in IIS security including trying ASPNET. we are not using windows authentication. 6) Even copied that dll from other machines.
Here's the error. I have no clue at this point if it's code missing inside it or something else wrong with it or my setup. Other people on my team are using this dll ok. Could not load file or assembly 'Anthem' or one of its dependencies. Access is denied.

I have a program where a lot of the required information for it is stored in text files. I simply read this information into large arrays. However, I don't think it's necessary to load all the information each time. Rather, it would be more efficient if I could simply search through a list of items to find the one I need and then use the data from it, or to find a similar name and use it elsewhere.
Would I be right in using a database? And is database programming done in SQL? I have a book on it telling me to use the SQL Server (IIRC), so I shouldn't be doing it in the VB.NET Express GUI?
Here's an example of what I would do:
Hex = 03 00 => dex number 003
Search in file Pokemon Dex Numbers
003 returns Bulbasaur
Check Bulbasaur base stats in the base stats file
etc
So basically I'm reusing a lot of information. I think a database would be best and it would all be internal right? I'm getting complaints about access denied to a text file (since it's stored in the program directory in the program files).
So to cap up the few questions I have:
-Databases are done in SQL and not inside the GUI?
-Databases would load internally?
-I could search a database without having to load it into like an array or something?
