VS 2008 Strange File Not Found Error?
Jul 20, 2010
I have a program that looks for a file named 'license.dat' upon startup. The program first checks the directory it's in, and if the license file isn't there, it prompts the user to select the license file with a file browser dialog. I have tested this code and confirmed it working in a number of different OS environments.Recently, I received reports from two users (one in Germany and one in Italy) that the program can't find the license on their computers, even though it is present in the program's directory and they manually selected it with the file browser dialog. The only commonality I'm seeing here is a lack of English OS, but beyond that I'm stumped.This is the code I'm using:
If System.IO.File.Exists(System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory + "license.dat") = False Then
File dialog code goes here

I had the following piece of code working for the last few weeks and earlier today it seems stopped working.I have the code in a try/catchh block and in that try I create a file, "Build.bat" with code in it that will get it to do some oracle/sql wizardry
If File.Exists(Application.StartupPath & "Build.bat") Then
Shell(Application.StartupPath & "Build.bat", AppWinStyle.NormalNoFocus, True)
End If
After stepping through my code I noticed that the catch is executed at the shell line, so I put it in an if statement to see if the file exists and it always comes up as true, but on the next line I still get a File not Found error.
Try
Dim BatFile As New StreamWriter(Application.StartupPath & "Build.bat")
Dim SQLPLUS As String[co

I am reading a file from the default location. I request a file by name only using an InputBox. If the User types a file that does not exist I get an exception error. I want to be able to handle the problem by outputting to a list box that the file was not found. My Code is something like:
sr = IO.File.OpenText(fileName)
IF fileName <> "found"
Handle issue
Else
Continue Code
I want to run a check to make sure the file does exist in the default location but not sure how to get it done. I had seen the Public Shared Function FileExists but I am not quite sure how to make it work.

Have you ever heard about that error ? It happened to me when I used code to Close an open form . But this very strange . Not only I have used this simple code (Me.Close) in numerous forms but it also happens in a weird way . You see , I have a form with a button on it . The code in the button's Click event sais Me.Close . Also , this button is set to be the Cancel button of the form . Now , when the user closes the form either by pressing the X button or by pressing the above button , nothing happens . However , and this is very weird , when the user presses the Esc key on the keyboard , the program crashes with this error message :

In the old dos days you could combine 2 files as save to a third file:copy file1 + file2 file3. It still works in a dos shell. I did this: Shell("copy " & file1 & " + " & file2 & " " & file3)I got an error that file3 cannot be found. I know it doesn't exist I want to create it. So I created a bat file:copy %1 + %2 %3 and called it as such:Shell("ccopy " & file1 & " " & file2 & " " & file3). I still get the error that file3 cannot be found. First I don't see how it can tell from the shell that file3 is a file. How do I do this otherwise? Do I have to create a blank file before calling it?

I getting an error which is:
Error 1 Task failed because "AL.exe" was not found, or the correct Microsoft Windows SDK is not installed. The task is looking for "AL.exe" in the "bin" subdirectory beneath the location specified in the InstallationFolder value of the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftMicrosoft SDKsWindowsv6.0A. You may be able to solve the problem by doing one of the following:
1) Install the Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows Server 2008 and .NET Framework 3.5.
2) Install Visual Studio 2008.
3) Manually set the above registry key to the correct location.
4) Pass the correct location into the "ToolPath" parameter of the task. OutlookBar v2 2005.

I am unable to debug any projects as of a Windows Update 2 days ago. It not only caused problems with VS 2008 but also SQL Server 2008. I did a system restore and my SQL Server is back to normal, but VS 2008 will not debug any projects. I get a vshost.exe has stopped working and then a file exception error. I am copying the file exception msg:System.IO.FileNotFoundException was unhandled
Message="Could not load file or assembly 'sortkey.nlp' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified."

I have tried repairing VS 2008 and also a SFC scanow from the cmd prompt. I have also tried unchecking the vshosting property. Nothing works

I'm trying to create a "File Not Found" error to display if a file the program is looking for is not created.Example:
Dim ProcessProperties As New ProcessStartInfo
ProcessProperties.FileName = "filename"
ProcessProperties.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden[code].....
I also need help creating a text box, that will submit information to another source (like echoing to a command prompt window). I'm trying to add a killtask option where the user can enter the name of the tast (such as notepad.exe) and press 'Submit'. The button will then send a code (killtask -f notepad.exe) to a command prompt window.

I am trying to run a fortran .exe in VB with the Shell() command. The fortran .exe, when ran, it asks you for a file name. It works perfectly on it's own, but when I try calling it through VB Shell(), it does not work.. (i.e. I cannot get VB to get the file name in it.)
Added info:I am using VB9 but I'm writing in compatibility to .NET. As for the Fortran .exe, when you call it, it opens a command window where it asks for a file name (which I got as a string in VB and I'm trying to pass it in), then you press Enter and it's done. Basically the .exe takes a text file and creates a new text file. We've also tried adding & mystring when calling the exe, but it gives a "file not found" error.

I have a solution which upon a button push, loads a PDF into the application for viewingThe loaded PDF is an index page linking to other PDFs. This all came off a CD of a VendorMy client want me to create a "Job Book" of all the CDs from these vendors.Here is the issue.When select the button for a particular document, the front page of the PDF (Index Page) load fine. The loaded PDF has buttons as links to the various pdfs so when I select a button within the loaded PDF I get a message stating it cannot find the pdf requested.

Using VB6 to create a file and then open the file just created fails when run on a Vista client with Windows 2008 Server. The same code will work when run directly on the Windows 2008 Server or when using an XP client. If a Sleep 10000 is placed after the close, the program will work. What is the problem here? The code is as follows:
Option Explicit
Private Declare Function GetTempFileName Lib "kernel32" Alias "GetTempFileNameA" _
