View 1 RepliesI have seen a similar thread. But it is not answered. The Auto uninstall tool link given in that answer is not working. I want to uninstall .Net Pro Trial and going to install express edition. can anyone please tell me the order of programs to be removed?. Or please give the link for Auto uninstall tool for .Net Pro 2010.
Note: I have some software which are based on .Net Framework. so I should not remove the Framework. Is it possible to install Express Edition without removing this Framework?.
I'm currently in a situation where I need to uninstall a certain program from a local computer (and automatically install a newer version of that program), because this old version of the program randomly causes my program to malfunction I have found this article:CodeProject: How to list all Programs installed on Computer and Uninstall Them . Free source code and programming help This shows how to start the uninstall program for the programs I need to uninstall, which is a good start. I also have created all the code needed to install the newer version of the program But as this program will be used by users, I want to minimize the number of times the users has to do something. So far the only popup that I haven't been able to get rid of is when the uninstall program is being run how to force it to uninstall without having the program ask for confirmation?
View 4 RepliesI'm using the following code to pull some of the installed applications from the registry and load them into a ListView:
vb.net
Public Sub UninstallPrograms()
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionInstallerUserDataS-1-5-18Products
[Code].....
The problem is that I need to be able to access the the value of the uninstallString so that I can pass it to the appropriate process. Since that info is in a separate block, I can't directly access it.
I want my system to run when the computer boots.

View 29 RepliesAny simple way of automatically updating a newer version of my application from a network share. Everything I have read pertains to an update from a web site. This is possibly a simple thing to do but as I have 6-8 users using the application I have to email them all stating there is a new version on the share and for them to copy and overwrite the existing application executable in the program filesapp directory. If this could be done on launching the program within the splash screen that would be fantastic.

I am trying to build a self-updating .NET application that will run in an environment with limited user accounts. No admin rights here. The application must run on Vista and XP, and probably Win 7 when it comes out.An X-copy deployment would be fine. I would prefer NOT to use click-once.So far I have tried a system where the application checks a manifest and downloads updated binaries, which worked great in development, but not so much when the app was installed.Vista refuses to to let me copy files to Program Files. After that, I tried downloading an updated .msi, which works except that the MSI has a UAC prompt -- no go if the user does not have an account with local admin privileges.
running the program in AppData and using the x-copy method might work, but I have not seen anyone say that they have tried it and it did work. Will that work for an account without admin rights? Can anyone vouch for this method before I start writing more code?
I use VB 2005 Express @ home for developing stuff. I am wondering if anyone knows how to run a script automatically after building my application. When I click build I want it to compile my InnoSetup installer and also zip up my executable + readme.txt file into AppName-version.zip. Right now I manually do it, and it's not that big of a deal, but if I am just wondering if it's possible. I think I can do it with full VS, so I will check it at work, but I am wondering if I can write a plugin or something if VB2k5X doesn't have an option do it already built in.

View 5 RepliesI developed a chat application with an attendant chat server. Everything is working fine. The issue now is the fact that whenever the chat server goes down (for instance, the server system shuts down as a result of power failure or some other problem), by the time the server system come back on, the chat server would have to be restarted manually.
I believe (and I know) it is more appropriate for the chat server application to restart itself when the computer comes back on (and of course regardless of who is logged in and of course, even before anyone logs in). I have a batch file that executes the chat server. My attempt was to create a windows service that start automatically and runs this batch file using a Network Service account on the server system. Although, I'm having a hard time with this (temporarily), I would love to ask if there are any alternatives to using a windows service.
