I have a service I have written in VB.NET In the past I have always done the installs (internal app), so I have the install set to User, and when I do:
InstallUtil "C:MyService.exe"
It prompts me for the Account and Password, and I am using the local administrator (.administrator)I am setting up an installation script now that the user's can just run to install, and I don't want to give them the administrator password. Is there a silent way to include the user/password in the command line?
I am writing a small visual basic application to install clean up tools quickly on any machines that we need to work on here at my workplace. I am using 4-5 cleanup programs that I have packaged into MSI's and have batch scripts that I am calling in my visual basic application to run them as silent installs. However, because I am doing the silent installs, windows always pops up with the "open file - security warning" and I have to click run for each individual program. I am wondering how to get around this from my end within the application. I know it can be disabled in windows but I am not wanting to have to go through a process on every machine that I run this program on. I would like to find a fix on the back end in my script.
Does anyone know of a free program to create trusted certificates? Im trying to avoid the Application Install - Security warning without having to add .exe to the trusted extensions.
Is there a way to do a silent update with the click once deployment? My program checks for an update before it opens, but the less user interaction on that the better.
I've created a windows service and started a deployment project for it. I have the project installer class in the service project and I've added the "Standard output etc.." from the service project as custom actions for the Deployment Project. When I attempt to install it, I get the error "Specified service already exists", which shouldn't happen (even though the service does exist) because the installer should be removing the old service and installing the new one.
I've checked that the versions are different, and that the Product Code is also different, also RemovePreviousVersions is set to true. Can anyone tell me why it isn't uninstalling my old service when I update then install again? .S: MODS: DO NOT MARK MY POST AS ANSWERED, IT IS RUDE, YOU HAVE NO IDEA IF YOU'VE ANSWERED MY QUESTION!Sorry, it gets ignored in my signature.Mods
I have developed a Windows service. During the installation, I get the following warning/error:�Cannot start service from the command line or debugger. A Windows Service must first be installed (using installutil.exe) and then started with the Server Explorer, Windows Service Administrative tools or the NET start command.�
I am not trying to start it. I am only installing it (right-click from setup project). The StartType is set to Manual, and the Service Process Installer account is set to User. I do not get prompted for the service login credentials.I am using Visual Studio 2005, VB.Net running on Windows Server 2003 SP2.
I've developed a simple Windows Service basically from following tutorials. However, when I go to add it the list of Services using the "Install Util", I get the following results and have no idea what it means.[code]
I created a VB.NET Service application and I have decided to install it on my computer using installutils.exe. After building the application, I open the SDK framework command line and ran the following command:
installutil KleinDevortService.exe KleinDevortService.exe being the built assembly for the service application. After running this command, I get the following: *********************************************************************************************************************************Microsoft (R) .NET Framework Installation utility Version
I've been following a tutorial on [url]...for creating a service using VB Express 2008. I got the first part working and managed to get the sample to install using InstallUtil, but the second part has you use a form with buttons to install and uninstall the service.
I'm wondering if there are instructions for installing the service from a command line so I could just change to a specific subdirectory and type "myservice /i" to install it or /u to uninstall it.
I was reading how to install a windows service by using InstallUtil but is there a way to install it within the form and not use the visual studio console?
I have a service installed. I would like to install this service (but with different features) twice on the same server but cant as the second service recognises it as the first. How could i avoid this?
i was wondering where visual studio install package actually installs a service. I have a vbscript that is suppose to start my service with the code below but it can't seem to find the service or can't start it.
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2") Set colService = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from win32_Service where

My other question is, is there a way to throw two VBscripts into a vb service install package and have the scripts installed onto a local folder and then set two GPO's (User Logon and User Logoff) to run the two scripts?
I will be googling this but in case I don't find it easily, here is my question - how do you install a windows service that you've developed on your own PC to a server? Is there an option to produce the package (I thought it was an msi file) which you can run on the server?
I have written a VB.NET windows service application. I installed it in my system using the Installutil.exe. But this is not available in the client's system because the .NET is not installed in that system.Is there any way to install the .NET windows service application without the Installutil ?
I've been busy with work and other bits and bobs and not really had much time for programming... but anyway, I have just written a fairly simple windows service in VB.NET and although I can install it on my PCs/servers using the command line InstallUtil.exe component, this isnt ideal for other people that may need to install it without my assistance.
So basically I just need to know how to get a normal Setup and Deployment VS project to install this service itself... I thought it would be as simple as selecting the service assembly to include in the deployment project and building it, but unfortunately that seems to do naff all. Do I need to use a 'Custom Action' in the setup project (and if so, how/what do I do?)
I need to install a windows service via an .msi for many tablets which is nooooo problem. The problem is, the tablets currently have the service running which was installed by installutil. So when my installer runs, regardless of Remove Previous Version is true, it stops stating the service already exists and to uninstall it from Add/Remove Programs.So I wrote a console app which preceeds the primary output as follows:
Sub Main() Try Dim filename As String = "C:Program FilesRSCProjectServiceSetupRSCProjectService.exe" 'Dim filename As String = "C:RSCProjectServiceRSCProjectServiceinDebugRSCProjectService.exe" If System.IO.File.Exists(filename) Then

I'm writing a function that takes a word doc and returns the number of pages in it. I have the function working and returning pages except that it opens a Word dialog asking if I want to save changes - does anyone know how to stop this? I have the document running "silently" in the background so I don't want to spoil the feel by prompting for saves.Here is my code:
Private Function CountWordPages(ByRef Doc As String) As Integer Dim oWord As Object Dim WD_Doc As Word.Document Dim intCount As Integer = 0
I am in a bit of a situation here, because the default webbrowser control freezes my application.I'm trying to load the data of a website into structures/classes and update them ever 5 seconds. I am now using webbrowser controls, by delegate-creating them and using them in my threads.The problem is, that all those webbrowsers count up and lag my application terribly. Every 5 seconds it is impossible for the user to control the program; it freezes.
Does anyone know of a thread-friendly webbrowser/control that can:
- Disable navigation to certain urls (navigation events) - Give events on document completed - Return an html document (not text) - Does not lag the program when navigating
I'm looking for a "silent" webbrowser. It doesn't have to display elements, I do want to read the elements.
I tried using htmlrequests, but the problem with that is that I need to stay logged in. If I request a different page with a htmlrequest (when I logged in), the server returns an "not logged-in error". As far I know you can't redirect htmlrequests after logging in, so I'm stuck at that point.
I am working on a Screenshot Taker project, my project captures the screenshot and saves, but to save it a saving dialog shows up, and you have to select where to save it, file name, and bla bla bla; I don't want it to be like that, I want the saving thing be silent, I don't want the dialog to show up, like I want everything to happen from behind the seens.
