Vista Registry Errors?
Aug 11, 2009I have a VB.NET application that I have developed in VS 2008. The app is a basic monitoring app that checks in with a central server every so often, reports the status of events on the PC, and reacts accordingly to commands provided by the central server. The application validates 3 registry keys when it first starts: 2 are variables used in the application (HKLMSoftware[Company Name] -- when to check-in & how often) and the third is just an entry in HKLMSoftwareWindowsCurrentVersionRun to make sure it is started upon reboot. If the appropriate keys do not exist, the app will create them on behalf of the user.The EXE has been packaged and installed on a handful of machines without any issues. We then started having issues when it was installed on 64-bit Vista machines. The app locks up upon start (when trying to write the keys) and writes the below error to the error log:
Error Number: 5
Error Description: Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation.
Error Source: mscorlib

Aug 21, 2010I'm making a cleaning program and one of the things it does is cleans the recycle bin. How do I do it for Xp, Vista, and 7? I'm on Visual Basic 2010. Also, how do I make it so that it automatically finds the username and uses it when the program deletes a folder. Right now I have it so that you need to enter your username in a textbox and then it uses that for the directories. I know it's something with SystemInformation.UserName.

My.Computer.Registry.SetValue _

I'm getting error "Unauthorized Access Exception was unhandled."

Read HDD Serial In Vista?
Mar 20, 2009I have a class which reads the serial of the users HDD, basically so I can generate a unique license for that user based on HDD serial and other things.
This works fine in XP where UAC isn't an issue. However, when run on Vista it pops up security warnings and won't continue unless you turn UAC off!
Is there a "safe" way of reading this information without Vista throwing its lunch up?

Oct 3, 2011[code]After spending hours of research.I finally figured out the vb.net version on how to read a 64 bit registry with a 32 bit .net application.

View 3 RepliesFile I/O And Registry :: XML Read/Write
Apr 28, 2012I was unable to find anything in my searches for XML or INI on the forum so i apologize now if this has already been asked and answered before.
I have been searching Google for days now, trying to find information on Reading and Writing XML files. I wish to use them to replace INI files in my programs.
I have been using VB6 for years now, but was able to get a copy of VB.NET 2003 really cheap and so i am trying to learn how to do the things i did in VB6 in VB.NET 2003.
I was able to find code to write to an INI file, but was not able to successfully read from an INI file with any of the code i found.
I have been able to find code to write an XML file, but when i try to update it, it replaces the old file with a new one, and the old settings are missing, instead of the new settings added to it.
i can at least start migrating to VB.NET 2003, or if you read XML and update XML data, i can switch now. Here is the code i have for writing XML.[code...]
