VS 2008 Administrator Rights With Program?
Dec 29, 2009
My.Computer.FileSystem.DeleteFile(My.Computer.FileSystem.CombinePath(My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.ProgramFiles, "Myprogramfile.txt"))But when I try this it will only work when the program runs with administrator rights. Is there a way to let the program work this way that no administrator rights are needed, or that the program may only boot up as administrator? So they won't be allowed to boot it up without administator rights. (I do not mean to force the administrator, but only to let them press "accept" or "cancel" in the UAC pupop

While testing my software a friend of mine got the following Error: "Access to the database file is not allowed. [File name = ...etc..." I found out that this has to do with the user rights in Vista (perhaps also XP). How can I solve this?

i currently have a project that needs to edit a few files in the startuppath folder. on a non administrator o.s., if my app. is installed in ( c:program filesmy crappy little app ), i cannot write to those files. in win7, it does not even ask for administrator approval, just the option to save to my documents.. this can be quite a hassle to work with, specially on closing the app, since i have quite a few files that need to be updated.

Background: I have 2 Apps. One spawns the other as a 2nd process. Both need Adminstrator rights to run.The below code (which spawns the 2nd app from the 1st) works just fine from my released Application (when I right click the 1st app icon and start as Administrator).
Problem is, from within the VB Express environment it does not. The 2nd app starts, then complains about Access Rights.Can I start a process with Administrator rights in Windows 7 from within the environment?

Consider a network environment with a domain and active directory setup. I would like to create a shared folder on a server for a username added by whom ever the network administrator is... I would like to install my program on a computer, but when people log into te local machine, I don't want them to have access to the shared folder, I want the program to be able to access it only, using the afore mentioned user name and password.

I am developing a VB.NET based application which requires administrative privileges in order to run properly. However I went through several tutorials online and it all mentioned how to do this using a mainifest file. The problem with this technique is that whenever the program is opened I need to type in the Administrator password, however I want this to happen automatically. (The user should not type the Admin password, the password must be entered from the code level)[code]...

My VB.net framework 4 windows program work fine for the users on Windows XP machines if they are in the local Administrator Group. I would like to setup this click once application to run as an administrator so the user doesn't need to be in the Administrator group. The program is reading the"C:Documents and Settings" & User & "Local SettingsTemp" folder looking for files with extension like "emf", "tmp" and "htm" and then deleting the files if they are older than 24 hours. We have a third party application that adds these file and doesn't delete them so I need the users to run this cleanup program.

We have developed a 'deployment tool' (say program A) which need to modify system registry, etc info which requires admin rights. This program will be triggered by another program (say program B).
Question, when B call A, how can B initiate A with admin rights? is there any command like A.exe /runas admin or any other way to achieve this. Please note that both programs are developed using VB6.

I've been having huge problems having a VB.NET Windows Forms program run as a scheduled task under XP SP3. The program runs when I set the task up to use my non-admin network username and password, I can see the interface fine (albeit without the desired results - the program requires access to remote shares). When I set the task up with the network administrator account credentials, the task is "Running" but I do not see any interface. It doesn't error - it just kind of sits there happily in the background.

I'm trying to make my application compatibile with Vista/7 UAC so I created a manifest file that gives me adminstrator rights which works great but the only problem that when my application tries to run with windows (via registry key I added) the application just won't run, and ideas how to run my application with admin rights when it loads up with windows?

I've made an application that is meant to be run without administrator privileges in Windows Vista / 7, because UAC disables drag and drop events from lower applications into higher ones, because they could pass bad information into the high trust ones [for example, standard explorer cannot pass files into my program that a user might run in administrator].

I am using the below code to get the local Administrator members, but this code takes about 6-7 seconds to execute. More precisely the "GetObject" takes that long.Is there another way to get the same information but faster?Also, where can I find what other properties the objects holds ?

I know that to start a program at startup, we should add this subkey
"C:Program Files<myprogram's path><nameoftheprog>.exe"
to
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun
Alright!
But the problem is when my program has to delete a certain file in C:/ at startup, it just can't because it's not ran as administrator!

I have made my app check for an update then if there is an update download the updated version and then close itself. But before it closes, it saves a text file with the startup location of itself. Then when the updated app opens it deletes the old app by getting the old app location from the text file.
but it will only delete the old app if it has admin rights. how can you start (compile) a app with admin right in vb 2008. how to compile app with admin rights.
