3 things , 1. how can i detect all the existing web browsers installed on the computer (IE , Mozilla ect'...) and put it in a combobox or something like that. 2. after i detect and select a browser , how do i launch that specific one? 3. how can i know which one is the default browser
should i see if the browser file exists ? ( IE7.exe, ect'....) or is there a more simple way ?
Is there an easy way to get a list of the installed web browsers on the system (including the path to their respective .exe)? I have a web application which uses the Web Browser Control, but I would like to give the user the ability to view their web page in any of their other installed browsers.
View 6 RepliesI currently have a property in my program which returns a true/false depending on if the program is "portable" or not. I need this to know if I should do a certain thing or not.
It checks if it is by checking if the registrykey the installer creates exists, here:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\MyProgram
(And under the Wow node if the OS is 64 bit)
The problem is, I am trying to get rid of the need for admin rights, and this is the last function that needs to be fixed. But I don't have a clue on how.
Why I want this property is because then I don't need two separate versions of my program (like a set property in My.Settings which I set before I build).
The only files that differ using the portable vs the installer is one file, but the reason why I don't want to base the result on the existence of that file is because I want to warn the user if it's not there (if the program is not in Portable mode), so he can reinstall the program.
how I can check if the program is installed by an installer, without using admin

I've thought long and hard on how to do this. Since I'm posting here, you see I haven't figured it out. I've found out how to login to a website with GetElementById, but I have another problem. I need to login with multiple web browsers. But when I login on the second, I can't because the session/cookie is already there. I thought usnig a proxy would work, but that just applies to both web browsers. Using the example below, would it be possible to apply this to only one web browser? Or make separate sessions for each web browser control?

how to detect when the "DEL" key has been pressed in a VB 2008 windows form?
View 5 RepliesI 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).

View 5 RepliesI have a program that parses INI files (yes yes, I know, but I'm stuck with using them, not my own request), and it downloads external images (if the INI contains the path) to the program and cache's them.
Recently, I've run into a snag with the system. Most of the images use Imageshack for storage, but one of them has suddenly 404'd, and whenever I set it to the picturebox to the downloaded image, I get an out of memory error rather quickly (and the file itself is 1kb).
I guess I need to implement a checking system offline to find out if the image is actually an image or just a '404' text...but is there a way to not have to implement this clientside, and have it be checked when I download it?

View 4 RepliesI've come across involving a PictureBox.I am trying to create a quick Paint-like application, but I want something to happen in it. I want it so that when you draw or have drawn in a certain area of the PictureBox, you trigger events to happen (but they must only trigger once. This doesn't mean only one event can happen, it's just that each event can only happen once). How would this be possible to implement in my code I have now?[code]

I'd like to mention that getting a list of the installed programs via the registry is not a viable way to receive a full an accurate list. The two main areas where the programs in the registry are stored, are mainly MS programs. Some manufacturers put their keys here as well, but most don't. And since it's impossible to know where the manufacturer has stored the key, let alone the name of the key that would give the list and the uninstall capability, it's not ideal to use the registry.
That being said, I was told that there is a COM API that Microsoft has made and uses in the Windows OS and was hoping someone knew what that API is and how to maybe implement it in VB.
