I have an application that is deployed through ClickOnce (I'm just double clicking setup.exe at the moment), on XP it runs great, but on Windows Vista or 7 with UAC on it denies my access.
View 7 RepliesFor the past 3 months I have been working on two separate apps. Initialy I started out with Win Vista and things were going great except for how slow my comp was running. So I reinstalled the Vista OS. Everything was going great until Mar 7th when this error just started occuring within my code.
"Access to the registry key 'HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareTornadoAppsSwift BudgetUser' is denied"
"TornadoApps/Swift" Budget are strings created upon App install or first run of App in VB 2008.The "Use"r value along with 9 other values were all working fine prior to Mar 7th.Now this line along with many others like it with defferent strings and values were working just fine till this week. So i figured that I'd just upgrade to Win7 hoping that would fix it. IT didn't. So I reformatted and installed fresh Win7 and still have the error. So I have figured out that it isn't my OS. Cuase it was working in Vista then just quit working.

I've googled the net and found that registry permission elevation is required for admin tasks, Is there away to take registry key ownership through VB.Net code??
Ive got my application running at startup on my computer. But how can i make my application start up on any machine ? Do i need my app to create a reg key ? Also what path do i use for it to start up on other machines ?

View 6 Repliesi'm trying to make an application using ms access database. This application is for our class, simply to enter students data and institutions details. However, i got stuck with combo; here is my question and the application background?
I have a database named "StudentData" with table "StudentDetails" with "RECNO" which is Auto Numbered (and is Primary key) and a number of different fields which accepts Students Name, class, accedemic year and so on.
What i want to do with the RECNO is, i want to make a combobox which will be filled with the record number of the students, when i click on any number from the dropdown list, i want the other fields like the txtName (for students name), txtClass, txtACYear etc to be field with each RECNO they belonged to.
I have an application that uses an access database to fill datasets. My problem is that I have three related tables, when I add a new users to the customers table The parts table fills with data saved in the database with a cust_id of -1.
I discovered that this is caused by adding a part, not saving it and deleting the customer. I Can add code to stop the user from deleting a customer that has parts but I do not have access to the live database to delete the record that are incorrect.
Is there something I can do to delete the rows that have an id of -1 on the load statment?

View 2 Replieshow to read and write random access records in .NET. Now I know random access files are dead and the response on every query I found with google/bing/yahoo searches was don't use random access use Binary serialization but I can not. I have a situation where I need to read and modify 256 byte records in a file that is used by another application.
Now for a bit of background the file is made up of 27 fixed length records of 256 bytes. Each of the records has a separate structure consisting of 30-120 fields. The proplem I am having is I can create the record structures but when using the FileGet method I am receiving an error. Now I have found samples that showed the same format I am using that claim to work.
The error I am getting is Option Strict On disallows narrowing from type 'System.ValueType' to type 'ProgramName.ModuleName.Record' in copying the value of 'ByRef' paramater 'Value' back to the matching argument.
The basic layout (simplified) is as follows:
Code:
Structure Record
<VBFixedString(6)> Public SomeParam as String
Public SomeNumber as Short
[Code]....
Now the overloads for FileGet show all of the data types including Object. But I have tried various methods to retreive the 256 byte record but without success. Do I have to actually read each of the several hundred fields of the structure one by one? Or am i overlooking something (I have been known for this in the past)
Or (and I'll kick myself if this is the only way) do I just have to set option strict Off in the module and the code as above will actually work.
I would love to be able to just ditch the random access file but I have to keep it for compatibility with several other applications at this time.

View 9 RepliesI'm trying to write a console application that can modify registry subkeys on remote pc's in the same network. I have it working in my own environment but when I install on the customer machines I'm getting unauthorized access when it hits the OpenRemoteBaseKey. The security settings in the application properties is set to full trust application so I'm not sure why it won't work.
I'm using Visual Studio 2010 and first I just installed it on the customer machine and when it wouldn't work I ran the source code in Visual Studio 2005 which is on the customer machine but got same results.I can run the app directly on the remote machine and it will change the registry subkeys as directed, I just can't do it remotely. RemoteRegistry service is started. Both machines are logged in as administrators.
Here is the source code:
Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic
Imports System
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Security.Permissions

[code]After spending hours of research.I finally figured out the vb.net version on how to read a 64 bit registry with a 32 bit .net application. The importance of this is when you try to write to one part of the registry, it gets redirected somewhere else in the registry, which is super annoying.[code]
View 2 RepliesTrying to read key "HKLMSOFTWAREPoliciesMicrosoftWindowsWindowsU pdateAU" value "AUOptions" and get the following : A first chance exception of type 'System.Security.SecurityException' occurred in mscorlib.dll Error occurs in ReadRegistry key SOFTWAREPoliciesMicrosoftWindowsWindowsUpdate AU : Requested registry access is not allowed. This occurs in my vb.net application when application is run under an account called OPER in the USERS group. The application :
1/is on my PC's hard drive, its not a web app or on a network share
2/is launched via a desktop click
3/ has a manifest specifying executionlevel "AsInvoker"
It does not occur when the Application is run as an Administrator. It does not occur if I read the value with a non .NET program when logged in as OPER whch makes me think it is a .NET problem not a registry permissions problem. Examining "Effective Permissions" shows that my OPER login has query value permission.I need the application to be able to read the key like the non .NET application while running at USERS level.
I have written documentation on how to use a software application I have written. I am placing the documentation (a .pdf file) into the application's bin > debug folder and putting it in the application's program files upon installation.
How do I open that .pdf from a menustrip? For example, I have a help > instructions menu item on my menustrip. When that is selected from the menu, how do I make the .pdf open?
