VS 2010 Running A Vbscript From A Windows Service?
Feb 21, 2012
'the below just creates a text file for my own sanity. Both files get 'created so I know the service is running as it should and not crashing. 'timer ticks every minute so if I delete the files once they have been 'created, they get recreated
Dim TextFile As New StreamWriter("C:LRQuadrant" & "test111" & ".txt")
TextFile.WriteLine("blah blah blah")
TextFile.Close()
I have a file called john.vbs. It only contains the following vbscript
'DIM objShell
'set objShell = wscript.createObject("wscript.shell")
'objShell.Run("CMD /C dir /s > dirlist.txt")
If I run this through command prompt, it does as I'd expect.'Nothing happens when the below code gets run.
Dim foo As New System.Diagnostics.Process
foo.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = "c:"
foo.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = True
foo.StartInfo.FileName = "cmd.exe"

I have been struggling to get vbscript working for last three days of relentless effort. I have windows 7 ultimate and upgraded from windows vista. searched the web for solutions and tried out all the options I think I have, but yet no luck.
I tried registering vbscript.dll and I get a succeeded message back. Everything seems to be fine. but, I just cannot run vbscript on my computer. It complains that "can't find script engine vbscript for script ....". I have a hunch that it is something to do with "microsfot security essentials (my virus protection software)" or with UAC.

We have a windows service running under a network account that calls and runs an ActiveX exe. The exe is running under the local system account, not the network account of the service.

I have a windows service written in .net framework 2.0. This service installs and runs perfectly fine on both XP and windows server 2003.We have a new 2008 box that we are migrating over to, so need to get this windows service up and running.When i try to 'start' the windows service on the 2008 machine, i get "Windows could not start the <service> service on local computer. Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion."I have searched everywhere looking for an answer, and all I could find was a fix attributed to .net framework 1.1 for this same error. That; however, is not applicable here, as the service was written in 2.0.

I have a console application that is ready to be used as a windows service, I have been looking around for a couple of hours and tried many of the tutorials out there but none of them worked with me.
The closest one was: [URL] but it didn't go into the process of doing it. I converted that code to VB.NET but then I don't know where to go from there. I have the Module1.vb which runs my console application all ready to be used.
show me a way to use my console application as a service, I tried using the InstallUtil feature but my app never showed under "services".

I wanted to know what are the risks of opening up a socket server on a specified port? Right now I have it limited to only accept requests from 1 specific IP to that port and all the other ones get rejected (using the windows firewall), is there a way to implement an authentication or anything else so I can allow it to be accessed from any IP worldwide yet have it secured?

I am a starter in scripting. So my scripts are as easy as you see.
The following script is to check currently stopped services, which are "auto start" by default.
You just need to creat "C:hostnames.txt". Then type the servers that you want to be checked, every line one hostname.
Run "Check services.vbs".
Check services.vbs:
Const ForWriting = 2

My other question is, is there a way to throw two VBscripts into a vb service install package and have the scripts installed onto a local folder and then set two GPO's (User Logon and User Logoff) to run the two scripts?

I'm trying to run some VBSCRIPT from within my application. This works fine when I run my program from within VB. But once I add "UIAccess=true" to my manifest and digitally sign my exe with my certificate, I am unable to run the code any more. It gives errors when I try to interface with any program saying "429: ActiveX component can't create object:'myApp.Application'". Anyone have any idea why it would run fine in the IDE but not with an application with uses UIAccess? Here is the code:

i have a Windows service that is hosting a WCF service through net.tcp and this is working great. I have also created a WCF service application. I am trying to add the net.tcp service reference to the service application. Then I add it to the GAC that goes ok but if I try to RegAsm the WCF service application to allow it to be called from Server.CreateObject I get the error:
Warning: Type library exporter encountered a type that derives from a
generic class and is not marked as
[ClassInterface(ClassInterfaceType.None)]. Class interfaces cannot be
exposed for such types. Consider marking the type with
[ClassInterface(ClassInterfaceType.None)] and exposing an explicit
interface as the default interface to COM using the
ComDefaultInterface attribute.
It does not work. I have tried to call it through a class library but this does not work either as the end point is not set correctly.

I upgraded to VB2010 from VB2008 early this year and have been working on a Windows Service which I am now debugging. When I was using VB2008 in Windows XP SP3 I would put a Stop statement in the code and when execution got to it a dialog would open asking if I wanted to debug it using a development environment listed in a provided list. The list contained the VB2008 VS IDE which I selected which would in turn transfer me to the IDE in debug mode. I was very happy with this setup.
Now I am using VB2010 with Windows 7 and when the execution reaches the Stop statement the service just stops. It no longer offers the choice and ability to "jump" into the development environment via the dialog that I mentioned.[code]...

We have constructed a windows service unde W2003 Server in vb.net 2010 to process certain database transactions. It should work 24/7 o the server. However, after 3/4 days it blocks the windows server operation since the memory usage is ever-increasing. After many revisions, we decided to place under "comments" all operational code, including all transactions to the SQl Server database and left just a kind of shell service that is doing no real work. Still, under these circumstances, the memory usage goes on increasing. Any idea how to prevent this from happening?

I wrote a custom windows service (VB .Net) to run some processing on data files in the background of one of our servers. The service basically finds the next file to process, breaks it apart and makes a PDF or two - nothing super complicated. It utilizes a timer, if a file is not found, it waits a bit and checks again (repeat indefinitely). The service has run for a week or two with no issues/pausing/stopping. I have plenty of error handling for this and I have not been able to break it... until today.

I have built a Dll and a Windows Service in vs2010. Both are targeting the .net 3.5 framework, but when I install it on the server it installs fine, but for some reason it targets the 2.0 framework and any time the methods fire that are using linq it crashes out with a clr20r3 error system.nullreferenceexception. Not really sure why it's not targeting .net 3.5.

I have a windows desktop application that I'm converting part of it to a windows service application. The win service pulls data out of one database and passes it to a central location via web services. I've got the windows service working, however I'm unsure how to add auto update abilities to it.
The windows service itself is basically an empty shell that fires off the data pulling, which resides in a dll that installs with the service. My original idea was to have the windows service do a version check and if needed download the new dll and overwrite the old one. The problem is the copy can't happen if the service is running (or paused). Herein lies the problem. If I have the service stop itself then of course it's stopped so no more code execution. The other problem would be how to restart it.
I'm trying to create something that is hands/worry free for my clients that way when I change/update the data pulling win service application they don't have to mess with it. I'm up to 300 clients now and I really need a solution that doesn't involve any user interaction.
EDIT: After more digging it's looking like this is a near impossible task. Another option would be to have a second service, one that just looks for updates and that second service can stop the first, update it, then restart it.

I created a small service application that listening to incomming TCPClient. Serving is is responsing perfectly when client program execute locally. but when client try to connect remotly, it says "A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time,..."
when I execute the server (Listening) application as a windows.form it works fine. Tried to communicate by installing the service Service as "Local Service" and "Network Service". But problem Remain the same.
Following is my code for server.
Dim Listening_Port As Integer = 8001
Dim Local_IP_Address As String = "192.168.1.123"

I have tested my code in a windows form project and it works great. so now I want it to run as a service.The problem i have is referring to "name" in my configuration string which is in app.config.
Dim settings As ConnectionStringSettings = _
ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings(Name)
(Name) is under-squiggled and message name is not declared, file IO functionality is available in the microsoft.visualbasic namespace.

I have created a Windows service that acts as a server for my app on a mobile platform. Whenever a user sends a message to my app I process it . Now i Would like to send the message that the user sent to my server to an application. Something like SendMessage would be absolutely perfect But how do you fit a whole class into the Wparam and Lparam 's of a window message ?

one of the apps that I wrote a couple months ago is getting to be rolled out to my production floor; one issue tho - It works great as a standard executable (you double-click, it starts and waits for data), however, I cannot get it to start as a system service.
I've already done a little bit of research for how to create a system service, but most of the information that I've come across is point to VC# or Visual Studio 2010 - I'm not finding much for VB 2010. Additionally, I'm only using VB 2010 Express and I'm pretty sure that I don't have the Windows Service application template's on my PC.
My application does have a "UI", but there isn't any user interaction; it starts and just sits minimized in the system tray polling a directory for the existence of a file - i.e. the windows form is not required.

Since the coming of Windows7 at our office we have sometimes the issue that the print spool is crashing.Users don't have admin rights to restart the service so that leaves them only at restarting their computer as solution.Which costs alot of time... As we cannot find a final solution to this problem I've begin to write a small tool so they can restart it..I've only hard code a local admin account in the source for this operate for them..

My VB.net framework 4 windows program work fine for the users on Windows XP machines if they are in the local Administrator Group. I would like to setup this click once application to run as an administrator so the user doesn't need to be in the Administrator group. The program is reading the"C:Documents and Settings" & User & "Local SettingsTemp" folder looking for files with extension like "emf", "tmp" and "htm" and then deleting the files if they are older than 24 hours. We have a third party application that adds these file and doesn't delete them so I need the users to run this cleanup program.

my question is how can I execute these VBScript codes inside the Windows Form (of course in a button click event). I don't want to execute them by pointing to the VBS file, I want them to be in the EXE file when I compile the form so if I hand out the form to someone else, they cannot modify the scripts.
