Specific Windows Updates Are Installed?
May 31, 2010I'm trying to figure out if specific Windows updates are installed so I can install the correct ones.I'm currently checking the WindowsUpdates.log file that is located within the windows directory, but it's terribly unreliable.In my search to find an alternative method, I cam across this blog post. It seems like a perfect fit. Unless you take into account that this is VBScript and their querying Microsoft.Update.Session.what class in WMI that would relate to VB so I can pull the info.

C# - Using .NET Regex To Parse WSUS Updates For Currently Installed Packages?

View 1 RepliesMore Windows Updates Convert To .NET?
Jan 31, 2011Currently converting the infamous Windows Update VB Script examples to VB .NET so that I can have a more polished GUI for our end user's as we have to nofity them every step of the way when installing updates (so the built in WUA interaction is not viable for us).
Converting from VBS to VB .NET seems to be more troublesome then I estimated, FYI I am no a full time .NET programmer so I might be making newbie mistakes!!!
So here is the VB Script example from MSDN for searhing, downloading and installing Windows updates using VBS:

Searching For Windows Updates?
Jan 18, 2011I am writing a Windows Update Client in preperation for it's use with our Windows 7 OS when we start to migrate this year from our Windows XP SP3 computers. We currently use a vbScript to control the installation of Windows Updates, we dont use the built in Windows Update client for the installation of updates as we need a little bit more control to allow for the deferral of updates being installed and more notification to the end user as to when a reboot will occur.
I want to replace the vbScript with a VB .NET executable as the presentation of information is much nicer, so I took to converting the Microsoft WUA API examples from vbScript to .NET, Following is the the vbScript Example code I am working with, at this stage of development of the application I am looking just to get a count of updates that need to be installed:
Set updateSession = CreateObject("Microsoft.Update.Session")
Set updateSearcher = updateSession.CreateupdateSearcher()
WScript.Echo "Searching for updates..." & vbCRLF

Sql - Windows Form Not Getting Updates From Database?
Apr 13, 2011Ive only recently starting fiddling with Visual Basic Express and Sql Databases. Ive managed to get a database up and running, and can query information from it. I have even created a form that can add a new entry to the table im using.The first form has a ComboBox that list the PlayerNames in my table. Form2 allows you to add a new name to the table, but anything I add isnt immediately updated in Form1. I have to relaunch the program to see the new entries. Even then, these new entries dont seem to be permanent as they eventually dissappear.The code I have for Form1:
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

View 12 RepliesVB6 Not Installed But OCX Files Show Vulnerable To MS08-070?
Mar 23, 2009I have a Windows XP box that is showing vulnerable by a 3rd party scanner for MS08-070 in regards to four OCX files tied somehow to Visual Basic 6.0. However VB6 is not installed on this computer; attempts to download MS08-070 and patch doesn't work.I'm guessing there is a some other application that may have dropped these in my c:windowssystem32 folder. The file versions are older as compared to what MS08-070 say they should be so I'd like to get them patched/updated.Microsoft's recommendation in the article is to update the application on a machine that has the latest patches for VB6 and redistribute that application.

.net - Windows Service Be Installed With Express Edition?
Dec 8, 2009EDIT: I'm starting a bounty on this question. For the moment, I've moved on and am developing my application using VS2010 Pro Beta, but I'd really like it to be able to be built with express edition, since we are generally not a .net shop and even if one or two developers have VS PRO it will not be available to our entire team.
To be the accepted answer and claim the bounty, you must provide sample code and instructions that will allow a Windows Service to be installed and uninstalled using vb 2008 express edition. You don't necessarily need to start with my code (but the essentials of it are included below).

Creating A Program That Once Installed Was A Windows Toolbar ?
Nov 6, 2011I'm wondering how I would go about creating a program that once installed was a windows toolbar. What I'm trying to do is similar to the clipboard, but I want to customize it to my own style. I work in a data entry job and many of the bills we enter have similar information that I'd like to be able to enter without repeated typing. I'd like the toolbar to be docked to the top of the screen, and have several buttons on it. Clicking a button, while having a focus in my data entry program, would paste the button's text (or the full text of what the button caption represented) into the selected field. Alternately, if focus between multiple applications is too difficult to try, then clicking the button would highlight the text and copy it to the windows clipboard, so I could then click back into my data entry program and hit ctrl-v. I dont need help on the program itself...just on how to make it as a windows toolbar, if possible.

Windows Service Not Showing Up When Installed With Setup Project?
Aug 31, 2009I have a simple windows Service developed in VS.net 2008 and VB.net. When I install the service using Installutil.exe from the command prompt it is working like a charm.
When I try to add a setup project and set the output and build and install it though it says successfully installed, it is not showing up in the services.
The event log shows that it is successfully installed. I just did check the registry, it did place the assemblies in HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftinstallerassemblies.
But I don't understand why it is not showing up in the services listing. I refreshed and restarted.
