Detect Whether IIS 6.0 Metabase Compatibility Is Installed?
Feb 17, 2011I have built a web setup project using VS 2008, wherein I need to check whether IIS 6.0 Metabase compatibility is installed. I tried it by accessing registry keys specifed in here in custom actions. But when I run the installer, I the key comes out to be blank irrespective of whether metabase compatibility is installed.
To further check the problem, I created a Console app to access the same keys. When I run it on win7, the app fails. Then, I ran it in WinXP SP3 compatibility mode and it ran perfectly.
I am open to other bullet-proof means of detecting whether IIS 6.0 Metabase compatibility is installed
How To Detect Installed Games On A System
Nov 26, 2009I am writing a application where i need to know which games are installed on a system.I have 3 ways by which i think i can detect the games
1: Scan specific parts of registry and look for key names that match with a List of Publishers. The list is manually maintained.
2: Scan the hard disk for and do same as in step 1
3: run the program in background and check for programs in memory that use a large portion of memory(which games always do) and if they use Direct X ( Which all games do except for some) then its a game.
Now i have been thinking about it and first and second method seems to be in need of a updated database ie list of publishers to make out if a particular program is game.

View 4 RepliesDetect If MS Runtime Or Office Is Installed On Computer On Application Stratup?
Oct 3, 2011I have a WinForm program developed in VB.Net with Visual Studio 2005. The program needs Microsoft Office Runtime installed atleast on the computer to allow the application to run without any errors.
Is their a way to check the computer to see if the minimum of the Runtime or Microsoft Office is installed on the computer? If either isn't I would like to display a message to the user on the startup of the application that states to atleast go to Microsot's site (I have full link to Runtime Download) and download the runtime for free.
Or is their a way to include the runtime as a component with my install for the application so if it isn't installed on the computer already it will install when the application is installed?

Use OpenGL In Visual Studio 2010 32 Bit Installed On Windows 7 64 Bit?
Dec 25, 2011i have installed visual studio 2010 32 bit on my new computer which have windows 7 64 bit. Everything seems ok. But now I try to learn how to draw some spheres with movement. I have tried to install openGL2 but it does not work or said that it does not fit with 64 bit, or it works only with VC.
Could any one, please, give me a short introduction to install and use open GL in vb.net 2010 installed on windows 7 64 bits ?
VS 2010 - Get Installed Software From Remote Host. Win Vista/7?
Nov 19, 2009I have created a Windows service that runs on one of our servers. The service lisens to incoming connections on a set socket port, runs a series of WMI queries on the requested computer in a new thread (the socket accepts a string value as input which is the hostname to scan), creates an xml file based on the collected data, and posts it back to a webserver. This works perfectly on all WMI queries, but i have one function that gets all installed software from the requested host using the RegistryKey.OpenRemoteBaseKey method to get all keys from the "SOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionUninstall" key on the target host. If the the target machine OS is Window Vista or 7, it returns no values. If i run this code on the target machine it works, but not from the service on a server. The service is installed and runs with full domain administrator rights. I guess this is a permission issue, but i have not found a good solution on how to solve it on the internet. As a workaround i use WMI to get a list of installed software from computers running Vista or 7. The problem with the WMI method is that it's very slow. It takes 10 - 15 seconds just to loop thru all ManagementObjects in the Querycollection. Maybe i could filter the WMI query better before starting the loop ?

View 2 RepliesVS 2010 Application Showing Different Behavoir When Installed Versus Running?
Jul 4, 2011I have a situation with an application of mine where I noticed I get a different result when the application is installed in comparison to it running in Visual Studio. If the application is installed a certain aberration pops up in this computer graphics application at a certain point in one of the screens but if I run the same group of settings or you could say the same "screen" running the application from Visual Studio I don't see the aberration ever happen. I tried deleting the bin and obj folders and then rebuilding before creating an installation and it doesn't change anything and whether I use InstallShield or create an installation using ClickOnce I still see the same issue. I have Enable application framework unchecked but found it makes no difference checked or unchecked

VS 2010 - Detect If App Is Not In Writeable Medium?
Oct 8, 2010In an ideal world, we wouldn't need to educate our users about the "intricacies" of ZIP files One of my apps is a stand-alone-ish app that has no dependencies that need to be installed. Well, except for the Framework of course.So, in order to make the download smaller, I've zipped up the package. One of the functions of the app is to download some files into a subdirectory the application is located within. Well, some users don't unzip the package and as we all know, you can't just download some files into a ZIP file. I spent a good 20 minutes looking through my code and adjusting things to figure out why it wasn't working for one user, when I realized there were no issues in my code and that he probably wasn't unzipping the package.So, does anyone know of a method to determine if the directory my app is in, can be written to?I know I can just try writing a small file or something and catch the exception, but that seems... sloppy.
