VS 2005 Generate A Licence.dat File And Then Install In On The Clients Computers?
Mar 24, 2009
I descovered that an application within my company at the minute reads a 'license.dat' file which must be generated off-site. If the file is missing or is edited in a text editor (which 90% of the content is not english, more gobuldy gook). then the application shows an error and then closes. I would like to know if that can be done for my application, so i can generate a licence.dat file and then install in on the clients computers.

I recently added the crystal reports controls to my project. I'm using Crystal XI release 2. When I built my project I include all the crystal dll's in the release folder.I haven't done a setup project yet, so I just take the release folder over to the client and paste it into a directory in the Program files folder.I am getting an error on the crystal report form. I assumed as long as the dlls where in the release folder everything would work.Do i need to install a merge module or something on the clients pc?

I installed VB 2010 Express on 2 different computers using the same activation key. An XP machine and a win 7 machine. Is this is allowed? There is no FAQ and since its free I figured this was OK. Is there a Microsoft Certified person here that has an answer for this 100%?

When my app closes, perform a checksum, digital signature, whatever on a data file, and save that in a text file.
When my app opens again, perform that same process on the file, and see if the new checksum matches the saved one, in order to determine if the file has been changed outside the application.

We use VB to create an HMI for an industrial environment. Currently, the computer we use has VB2005 Express Edition installed. When the application is developed, we take the Release folder which contains 7 files and place in on the computer with a shortcut to the executable.My boss stumbled upon another integrator that has a single executable. They apparently can stick this executable on any computer and it will run. He says that the "visual basic runtime" is included in the executable and it "just runs".I know just enough about VB to do what I need to do and am not overly familiar with all the inner workings. I seem to recall VB5 & 6 having a single executable as long as the runtime was installed already.Does VB2005 have the capability of a single executable?

I have a program in accounting that is used by many clients and users at the same time in a network. Many modules have a reference no. like in the receipt that increments upon saving, it also Checks whether that reference no. is already in used.
However problem arises when the many users use the same module at the same time. My question is How do you manage incremental values on each client's PC? Their local system somehow competes for the next incremental no.

I'm interested in making a licence key system to incorporate into my programs. I understand the general idea of checking a database for used keys, but I don't know how I can implement a system into my programs.
I had an idea of creating a custom algorithm, creating a file which contains the licence key, which is encoded with the new algorithm. So people can't just guess the licence because they can't understand what the algorithm (like a custom hash) means. On the contrary, would it be possible to somehow set a licence key variable in my program when it is built or installed somehow? Because I don't understand how it would be possible to work out what key the user needs etc...
After writing that last sentence, I realised that when somebody pays for some software or registers, their username and email is put into a database, and then when they want to register the software, they have to fill in their username, email, and then licence key. Then the key will be filled in in the database. Would that work?

I have a web portal designed in ASP.NET in which we ask customers to enter the data. On the click of submit button all i have done is, just read the data and called a stored procedure which inserts that into a table. There seems to be a problem in SQL Server 2005 while inserting the data from multiple computers at the same time. We have tested in our lab with three computers, result is that we get the data inserted successfully in only one machine and on the other two machines we get error on page. I have used transactions in the stored procedure and also tried setting the isolation levels to READ_UNCOMMITTED, SERIALIZABLE and SNAPSHOT. Nothing seems to work properly.

My application runs on a "server" machine and provides files (10megs - 100megs each) to 8 other computers. Currently this is done using a standard shared folder on all 8 computers and the server simply copies the file to \ComputerNameSharedFolder - and everything is great.However, due to new policies we need to remove all shared folders, so using a simple \ComputerNameSharedFolder is no longer feasible. Therefore I need to find a way for my application to be able to share these files in a safe, secure, and compliant way.There has been talk of using sFTP which would require each system to have an sFTP server running at all times (controlled by the application somehow), or also SSL was talked about as it can be integrated into the application easily, etc...

Since VB 2005 express does not really install properly in windows 7, here is how to get it to install and make it work right. It's very simple.
1. Right click on the VB 2005 express installer file and click "Properties" in the menu.
2. Now click the "Compatibility" tab.
3. Check the box that says, "Run this program in compatibility mode for:"
4. Click the drop down menu and select "Windows Vista Service Pack 2. (I haven't tried service pack one.)
5. Now check the box that says "Run this program as an administrator" and click "Apply," then "OK"
6. Run the installer.
Wait until VB 2005 express has installed to do these next steps.
7. Make a desktop icon for VB 2005 Express
8. Right click on the VB 2005 express icon and click "Properties" in the menu.
9. Now click the "Compatibility" tab.
10. Check the box that says, "Run this program in compatibility mode for:"
11. Click the drop down menu and select "Windows Vista Service Pack 2. (I haven't tried service pack one.)
12. Now check the box that says "Run this program as an administrator" and click "Apply," then "OK"
VB 2005 Express should now run on you Windows 7 machine! (Yipee) Notice that it is necessary to repeat the same process for the installer file as well as the actual VB program becuase they are two different files and need to run in compatibility mode.

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

One of the applications I've written uses DirectX in order to record the user speaking (basically for making verbal notes about something). It fails to work correctly when the installed version of DirectX isn't recent enough. I'm just using a setup project of the type inbuilt into VS 2005, is there a way to check at install time that DirectX is recent enough?
