I've asked this before, but it's just not working out in real life. I need to detect which OS is running. Most of them work, but not all. I define my variable:
[Code]...
Surely that isn't correct? these are the actual results from running the code on a machine and reading what it says. From this information, I can't distinguish between Vista and Win2008. How do I do this? What's the difference?
I need to detect if any version of the .NET framework is installed as we are deploying a .NET 2.0 app via logon script (ie XCOPY deployment) to all PCs in our network. The .NET app will be set to start when a user logs in, so we need to determine if .NET 2.0 (or higher) is installed before we deploy the app otherwise the user will get an error each time they log in. Is there any sure fire way to detect .NET via vbscript or batch file? All of the results I have found on google don't seem to be that reliable.
I have recently written a program that detects installed programs in the same way that Add/Remove Programs does but the problem with this is that even Add/Remove Programs does not seem to show the .NET framework on all PCs that have got it installed (like my home PC for example, definitely has .NET 3.5 installed but its not in the Add/Remove Programs list).
I need to be able to detect which version of Excel I have installed in my machine from some .NET code I'm developing. I'm currently using Application.Version for that, but it doesn't give me information about Service Packs.

I have 2 buttons in my form, one to hibernate the pc, and one to put it to standby. However, when I click standby, the pc hibernates too.I want to disable and re-enable hibernation, but I need to detect whether it is enabled or not, because I don't want to enable it if the user has disabled it.
View 3 RepliesHow they relate and differ from each? What are the best practices for version control? Is there a primer about publish online? Or a good book?
And is it possible to make ClickOnce and a msi in one solution of VS 2008? If so, is there any conflict or pitfall?

View 2 RepliesI have a multi-threaded client and server application written in VS 2005. The server application runs thousands of SQL Server 2005 stored procedures and a lot of file IO. The client application does a lot of file searching, file IO, and string comparisons.Right now everything targets the 2.0 framework. Would it be advantageous to upgrade one or all 3 of them to the 2010 versions? I'm mostly interested in seeing speed enhancements. I haven't been able to find much saying 2010 is better than 2005.

Is it possible to retrieve the pervious upgradeCode that was used to install the same application?
I have given our application to many or our clients.
They install our application using the MSI.
Everytime I release a new version for bug fixes or minor upgrades. In the setup project properties I increment the version number and change the product code (I always leave the same upgrade code). And I set the 'RemovePreviousVersion' to true.
However, a few weeks ago, I accidently changed the upgradeCode and released a new version to our customers. It was only now that a customer wanted to know why they have other instances of the same application in their 'add remove programs'. It installs ok, but they have to uninstall the previous version.
I am wondering is it possible to get back the original upgrade that was used to install those versions. As I used the same setup project, I no longer have that upgrade code?
I still have all my original setups.exe that were built with the original upgradecode
am using visual studio 2005 professional edition (vb.net) at front end of my project, my project is completed, i have created the simple setup file, but i want to create its trail version too, i mean a full fledge setup, so how do i made it in vb.net?

View 4 RepliesOne of the applications I've written uses DirectX in order to record the user speaking (basically for making verbal notes about something).

View 3 RepliesI'm trying to make a light version of a Blackjack game. The rules I need to use are as follows:
Ace = 1
Normal Cards = 2-10
Color Cards (king, queen, etc,) = 11
The dealer can keep hitting until it reaches 17 or under 21, he must always stay once it hits 17 or over (without busting obviously).
I know the ace normally should be 1 or 11 normally but I don't want to complicate things, I want to get the main thing of the program working first.

I have developed an application using VB.NET (.NET 2.0). I have put an exe on 4 client machines, it works fine on 3 clients but fourth gives me the following error:
Unable to find a verison of the runtime to run this application
I have .NET 2.0 framework installed on the fourth machine.
I need the application version as an integer with decimal points eg: 1.2 At the moment I'm using:
Dim CurrentVersion As Integer
CurrentVersion = My.Application.Info.Version.Major & My.Application.Info.Version.Minor
which just gives me 12.

I have created a license system for my application with MySql about half a year ago. What it would do is take the serial number and send it to my server if the key was correct it would return a 0 if its wrong the return value would be a 1.The problem was that when the serial number was entered correctly my program would create a "fake file" for example vb.dll in the system.And on run time my program would check for that vb.dll if the file exist it would skip my trial program and run the app as a full version. Half year later i think creating a "fake file" and checking for it on start up is extremely wrong and that's not very good security.How can i check the difference between a full version and unregistered version?
