Getting Permission To Write To HKCU In Win7?
Feb 9, 2012Here's a drilled-down version of what I'm trying to do.
Module Module1
Sub Main()
Dim regType As Microsoft.Win32.RegistryValueKind = Microsoft.Win32.RegistryValueKind.String
Dim regKey As String = "SOFTWAREFOOBAR"
[code]....
On Windows XP, this works fine. On my Windows 7 64 machine, if I simply run the executable normally, it throws an exception - something along the lines that access to HKCUSOFTWAREFOOBAR is denied. I'm typing this from my XP machine so I don't have the exact message at the moment, but that is the gist of it.
Now, if I run the executable in administrator mode, then it works fine. The intuitive explanation is that writing to HKCU requires elevated privileges. But I've run Steam on the Win7 machine, and I'm pretty sure Steam writes to HKCU without needing elevated privileges. Just running it while logged in as an admin is enough. So, is it possible for me to write a program that creates keys in HKCU too, without needing the user to manually invoke admin mode?
Script File Write Permission Error
Sep 17, 2009I use a custom tool to translate a flat text to xml text. I then create the file, with over-write set to True. When I try to write the text to the file, I get the error. The error says "Error: Invalid procedure call or argument", "System: Access is denied." It seems like the Create command is holding the file locked, so the Write command fails.
Running in VbsEdit IDE, I can see it fail. If I copy the text which is trying to be written, and paste it into UltraEdit, then attempt to save the file there, I get the same error This is expected, because the VBScript execution is holding the file locked. It should NOT be holding it locked for the script itself, right?[code]...

Currently i could able to get it using try catch exception, for that i need to perform the copy file process

View 6 RepliesVS 2008 Where To Store Settings For Windows Service
May 13, 2009I've written a windows service in VB.NET 2.0 and the service needs to know a few file paths and other settings when it starts in order to be able to do what its supposed to do. These are settings that users of my service need to be able to configure themselves so I cant hard code them in.At the moment I just have the service look for a file named Config.INI in the same directory that it is being run from and if this file exists it attempts to read the settings in from there... this works perfectly, but it just feels a bit clunky and old. If it was a normal windows app I would store the settings in an XML file in the user's application data folder or something but as this is a Service then thats not possible as it is not run by any one user (well technically it is, the Local System account). I then thought about using the registry but I seem to recall people saying that you should avoid storing settings in the registry if you can really, especially with the new security in Vista and Server 2008.

Delete Folder Permission - Get System Permission To Delete The Directory?
Apr 3, 2009My.Computer.FileSystem.DeleteDirectory("folder location here", FileIO.DeleteDirectoryOption.DeleteAllContents)
I created a program which was deleting a particular directory for me. The program was compiled and working. Today I run the same program...did not do any system updates and now it won't delete my specified directory. I ran tests to make sure the directory is there when testing...I keep getting access/permission errors.
I rebooted system, ran my application...still gave me error. I turned off Windows Defender...still got error. If I manually delete the directory...no problem.
Is there a way to get system permission to delete the directory? I am being given an 'access denied' error...I do not have permission. I tried running my application as administrator...no good. - VB 2008 Express - VISTA OS
Application Level Settings With Read And Write?
Jul 13, 2011I bet someone already asked this but i cant seem to find it. Ok i need is a global settings that can be updated which will affect all users. I was using xml files in the program filestill now and I need to get around using this because the files can be delete or over written incorrectly. I started using the settings option and realized application level is read only and i cannot use user scope because then it wont be global settings. Is there an alternative to this.

This means that the pluginApp never will read the settings according the values of the file.

Location Of Windows Service My.Settings
Sep 22, 2011I have a VB.NET solution built in Visual Studio 2010. It consists of a class project, a service, and a setup project. I have successfully created a setup, and run the setup from the "Release" directory of the setup project (outside of Visual Studio). It installed the service (on the same machine as where the project is), and the service seems to be running fine. The service executable is installed in a directory under c:program files (x86) along with some DLL's it is dependent of. The service (actually the class project I mentioned above) uses some settings from My.Settings. As far as I know these settings are stored in a app.config file in the project directory, as well as in a settings.settings file in the My Project directory under the project directory.
Neither of these files are installed by the installer. But the service can only run if it can read the settings. So where does my service get these settings from? To check if it still reads the settings from the VS project directory, I have temporarily renamed that directory, but that didn't affect the correct operation of the service.
