VS 2005 Piracy Protection Mechanism And Windows Vista Or Windows 7
Apr 19, 2010
i have created some shareware applications. I implemented the following mechanism for piracy protection. Before Windows Vista and Windows 7 i did write a dll file to the System32 folder with an encrypted license key. Also in the Registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE i inserted a registry key.
The problem is that with Windows Vista and Windows 7 due to the User Account Control (UAC) this is denied.
I want to ask : what other mechanism can be implemented ? Where should i store the encrypted key file and the registry key.
I want that the application can be installed for all users of a computer only once.
If i stored the key in the user's application data directory then another user could easily just install it under another user account. Also i do not want to put the key file in the application directory because that would be too obvious.
note that i create the registry key with my application and not with the installer.

I develop applications in Visual Basic.NET (Visual Studio 2005) for a long time on Windows Vista without problem.
Now, I'm changing my laptop, and the new has installed the Windows 7. So, I reinstalled VS 2005, taking care to install the Vista compatibility. Thus, the version of my current VS 2005 is 8.0.50727.867 (vsvista.050727-8600) SP2. And that is my problem.
When I ran the application in debug mode (F5) on Windows Vista, a windows appeared whenever there was an error, like below:
Now, on Windows 7, the application just shows a exception message in the Immediate Windows, don't showing any error window, continuing the application execution, as below:

I have an application that works fine on Windows XP. However I have taken the same application and made some modifications to it to run on vista the app loads fine etc.
the problem stems from trying to change a service in the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemCurrentControlSetServicesDiagnostic Service Host
Start = 4 instead of 3 (which is what it is currently set to)
when the program tries to change it I get a dialog box with the information below. How can I makes the changes to the registry without getting these kinds of errors. I tried to get the Framework configuration tool but it talks about XP and Windows 2000 for VB.Net 2005 so I am not sure what to do... I should mention I have only been programming for a month...
Error details:
"Application attempted to perform an operation not allowed by the security policy. To grant this application the reuired permission contact your system administrator or use the Microsoft .NET Framework configuration tool. [code]...
