I had a post on it but i ran into the same problem. My program downloads a text file from server and checks it.
It works but it makes the program crash for 4-9 seconds.I was thinking of downloading the file more slowly or using Threading()
made a program on visual basic and i want it to update, is it possible to on startup check its current version with some text on my website? and if the website numbers are higher it updates a file from the site? if i can how do i do this, and seeing as ive done the foolosh thing of making the whole project as once big exe not dll's can i get the updater to download the new exe if there is one and replce the old one with it

View 2 RepliesI'm trying to make an auto updater. It kind of works, but I've got some problems.I need to make the download threaded or something so you can use the program while downloading. I've tried the background worker and now the Application.DoEvents(), but I didn't get it to work.
The second problem is that the program crashes after having downloaded in a while. It may be because it isn't threaded, but I don't know.Anyways, here's my

View 8 RepliesI'm having trouble getting my app to auto-start by adding a registry key. The problem it is having is checking if the user has admin privileges. I tried setting the thread principal, because before it would always return false when I tried My.User.IsAuthenticated, but when I check if My.User.IsInRole("Administrators"), it still returns false, even when it should return true.Here's my current code. This worked fine without even setting the thread principal when I was just creating a regular Windows Form.
AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetThreadPrincipal(New Security.Principal.GenericPrincipal(New Security.Principal.GenericIdentity("UserName"), Nothing))

View 2 RepliesI have created a application that I have installed on the user computer. However, I want the application to be self-updating. But I am not sure if this would really update the application.The application will download all the files from the web server, and replace the files in the directory where the program as been installed to. The user will restart the application.I am just want to be sure, because I can't replace the installed files with the updated ones. As the application will be running. So really the application cannot delete/replace itself.So, I was thinking that I could download into another directory, if the program is installed in this directory 'program files/application/1.0.0' then I could download the files to 'program files/application/1.0.1'.However, when the program restarts, how can it know that it has to execute from the 1.0.1 directory?

I am making a program that will fill in some info on a form. The information that needs to be filled is:
[Code]...
The thing is i need the program to click on a button on a website then open a new tab with the page it just clicked on, fill in email and click submit, then fill in the info that is above before pausing. I would also like the info above to be randomized each time the new page loads so it is not the same. I have already looked on this site and cant find what I am looking for.
Ok im going to make a updater for a current program. And I found this code on this website.
Dim OnlineLocation As String = My.Application.CommandLineArgs(0)
Dim LocalLocation As String = My.Application.CommandLineArgs(1)
My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile(OnlineLocation, LocalLocation)
MessageBox.Show("Update Complete")
But i was wondering, once ive made it. How do u actually pass arguments to it.
im using the timer control, how do i set the start time and finish time? for eg, show a label text for 4 secs then hide. Googled for examples but still no joy.
View 4 RepliesI'm hoping that you all could shed some light on this.As the title implies, I'm trying to make my application automatically start when Windows PE is loaded. To do this, I looked at some Microsoft documents.I first found out how to add an application to it: url...And then I found out how to autostart an application, like a different shell: url...In order to auto launch one or many applications, you have to make an .ini file and put it in the System32 folder. The .ini file is called, winpeshl.ini. The information in it is [code]When that didn't work, I put quotes around items and it still didn't work.I was thinking that it wouldn't load because my program isn't a shell application. If that's it, does anyone know how to make a shell app?Also, I don't think it's a framework issue because Windows PE comes with the 2.0 framework and I changed my app to target the 2.0 framework instead of 3.5

View 2 RepliesI was just wondering if it's possible to autoclick a button without having to use the mouse hover or mouse click. I want my program to autoclick the button infinite times or as commanded by the start and stop button.
I want to click the button1 every 1 second until the stop button is clicked without using the mouse (X,Y) method if possible or which ever way is best.
