I am trying to create a plugin system. I have the actual plugins working fine but now I want to implement a system that knows whether the plugin is installed or not. I can get the plugin name when the form is loaded (ex. "Plugin1"). I then want to check this against something to see if that specific plugin is already there (if not add it) and if it is there is it enabled. I was thinking of doing this with an xml file but thought that might be a lot of work reading and writing each value. I then thought of the My.Settings and was wondering if this is possible. I would want to create an "element" for the name and give it a value of either true or false.

View 2 RepliesI want to make a program which first of all check whether a serie of programs is installed, if a program is installed I would like to find the installation path, so I will be able to work with it further..My first though was to check in the registry, there is theinstallation path also mentioned right?Another possible way was to search all the harddrives for a specific .exe fil. If then the file is found, the program is installed, and you should be able to find the path to the found .exe file. This is more "secure", right? - Because not all program is registred in the registry right? (E.g. if you move it from another location, and doesn't install it).

View 6 RepliesI'm using VS 2010, and I did a project using VB and a database in Access. The problem is that when I try to put that "application" on other computers, sometimes, is not working. I thought it can be because on these computers they don't have access, but on one computer, is running another app which is using Access and there is no Access installed. How can I check if my application requires Access to be installed or not?
Here is a example of how I did the connection:
Public AccessOLEDBConnString= "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source=" & myfullpath & ";Jet OLEDB:Database Password=password"
Function getConnection() As OleDb.OleDbConnection
[CODE]...
And when I want to have access at the data I'm doing like this:
dim conn as Oledb.OledbConnection
dim sql as string
dim ds as Dataset
[CODE]...
