VS 2008 Custom Uninstall Action Not Executing?
May 26, 2009
I've created a program that creates a registry value when it is run, and when this program is uninstalled I need it to remove this registry value if it exists. So I wrote a little command line VB.NET program that simply checks for the reg value and removes it if it exists and I added this to the Uninstall section of the Custom Actions tab in the Visual Studio deployment project that I created for this app.
I know that the command line app works because if I run it myself manually it deletes the registry value, but when I uninstall my application it does not remove the registry value so obviously this command line app is not being executed.

Have a VB.net application that installs initially from CD and then when the user gets into the internet the application updates. In order to better support problems with this application is has been suggested in the past to uninstall it and do a fresh re-install. However, in investigation it was determined that the uninstall does not consider all installed objects and does not uninstall the CD install.Can the uninstall functionality be modified to catch the other instances of this application and also uninstall them?

I currently have a Win32 deployment package that I would like to include a custom action to send an email or contact a web service, is this possible?I know I can create a custom action to call an executable but I would prefer not to use this method and was wondering if i can send an email or call a webservice directly from the custom action.The reason I wish to do this is so that I am notified when the end user install's the package.

I am using Visual Studio 2005. I have just figured out how to create a Custom Action during installation, but I can not figure out how to get data from the installer. Following is the simple test code that I am trying to use to call the directory that the user defines during installation, but the Path string is not returning anything.
Public Overrides Sub Install(ByVal stateSaver As System.Collections.IDictionary)
MyBase.Install(stateSaver)
Dim Path As String = MyBase.Context.Parameters("targetdir")
Dim AppConfigFile As String = Path & "FilesAppConfig.txt"
MsgBox("The target filepath is: " & AppConfigFile)
End Sub
I have tried many other things, such as...
Me.Context.parameters("targetdir")
stateSaver.item("targetdir")
And I entered /INSTALLDIR="[TARGETDIR]" in the custom action data property.

Since .net 4.0, is the new ettiquette to use syntax such as:
Private Sub Main()
MyMethod(AddressOf AnAction)
End Sub
Private Sub MyMethod(ByVal toDo As Action(Of String, Integer, Boolean))
toDo.Invoke("Tom", 1, True)
End Sub
Private Sub AnAction(ByVal p1 As String, ByVal p2 As Integer, ByVal p3 As Boolean)
End Sub
[Code]...
This goes the same with Tuples/Func too. It is nice to write but feels a bit sloppy in places. Why would anyone want Tuple(Of T, T2, T3, T4) over a nice class type? My actual piece of code has these nested, so it passes the Action along in a chain of methods.
Sorry for the VB example, AddressOf is just VBs way of saying new Action(AnAction). Also I just wrote this into the browser so it might not compile either.How to people feel about reading and using these compiler generic actions as opposed to proper special entities crafted for their exact requirements in the solution?

I've made a small program that creates a registry item in the users run key (basically starts the program on bootup), my question is does anybody know how to remove the item from all the users of the computer when the program is uninstalled?.
I know that all the other users registry hives aren't loaded at anyone time and feel a custom action dll that runs on uninstall that iterates through the 'documents and settings' folder loading the hives one at a time and removes the registry key.

I need to install a windows service via an .msi for many tablets which is nooooo problem. The problem is, the tablets currently have the service running which was installed by installutil. So when my installer runs, regardless of Remove Previous Version is true, it stops stating the service already exists and to uninstall it from Add/Remove Programs.So I wrote a console app which preceeds the primary output as follows:
Sub Main()
Try
Dim filename As String = "C:Program FilesRSCProjectServiceSetupRSCProjectService.exe"
'Dim filename As String = "C:RSCProjectServiceRSCProjectServiceinDebugRSCProjectService.exe"
If System.IO.File.Exists(filename) Then

a datacontext defined in a module(domain services ado.net ria)a page having add/delete methods whenever any method is executed, it is found that all the previous actions (NEW RECORD ADDITION and DELETION OF RECORDS) are carried out before the new action is carried out normally
this behaviour is not prominent but "when using break points and inspecting the values of the variables and table object to be added to context, it is clear that all the previous actions take place again. even when the datacotext. savechanges is called, even after that still all actions carried out on the datacontext repeat themseleves, when any new action is to be carried out

We are currently changing our Antivirus program which involves uninstalling our current one first. That isn't a problem but we have several laptop users not in the building who might have a problem uninstalling programs.
It should be possible to write a script/program to automate the uninstall process I guess, but don't know where to start. Can someone point me in the right direction?

I am working with a datagridview and 2 text boxes.TextBox 1 is for entering time of the day and TextBox2 is for entering time duration in that order. After TextBox2 looses focus I am converting the times into index numbers in my DGV1 and filling the selected indexed rows with some data. The data then is checked and if there are issues message is display prompting the user to correct it. However, all my codes for checking the data and selecting options are in the DataGridView1 event handler:
Private Sub Datagridview1_MouseUp(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles MouseUp
Is there a way to execute one Subroutine from another Sub. Sort of simulating a mouseup click programmatically ? Correction: there are 7 sets of those TextBoxes representing 7 days of the week. I am trying to avoid duplicating all that error handling codes in all 14 boxes. I have read that MouseEventArgs are protected so it may not be easy.

So, I want to execute a javascript on WebBrowser1 when I press a button. Normally, I'd just navigate to the javascript to execute it. Like this:
Private Sub WebPageEditorToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles WebPageEditorToolStripMenuItem.Click
WebBrowser1.Navigate("javascript:document.body.contentEditable='true'; document.designMode='on'; void 0")
[Code]....
This makes it where I can't leave the website and it keeps me on that one website. But the problem is that navigating to the javascript is not like [URL] so it won't let me execute javascripts that way. So, basically, my question is:
Is there any other way to execute a javascript with Visual Basic 2008 without navigating to it?

I've designed an Order Entry System and now I'd like to send an email when an Order has been saved to the Database. I could probably do it from the client machine pretty well, but really what I was looking for was to inform another program running on the server that an Order has been saved into the database with OrderID:xyz. And have that program take care of sending the email. I have no problem designing this second program, in terms of the basics of responding to an event and sending an email. But my question is: how do I raise an event across the network that this other program will respond to?

i seem to be having issues with my simple count down project. The count down work how I want it, there is also a pic of a rocket that move up when the count down button (Button4 - the form was set up in class as a quick example, so there was no need to name the buttons) is pressed. The problem is that the count down "10....1...Blast Off" shows after the rocket has moved up, I want the countdown text to show, then the rocket to move.The countdown is outputted to a ListBox.Here is my code thus far: (I have re-worked is a bit, starting to look messy)
