VS 2010 - Cannot Remove Components With Uninstall
Jul 15, 2010
I don't know what's got into them but they decided to purchase vs2010 pro licenses in my company. Anyway i gave it a quick look and since i don't need to have it installed right now (service pack 1 first, Microsoft anti-bug law) i uninstalled it. The problem i see is that it leaves leftovers everywhere.C++ redist, ado components, sql r2 components etc. These will not be deleted if i just remove vs2010 but will be installed if i install vs2010 full.Anyway i ended up removing them one by one and it took about 30-45 minutes. So has anyone have done a removal? Is this the case? I cannot remove most of the components with one big uninstall?

Have a VB.net application that installs initially from CD and then when the user gets into the internet the application updates. In order to better support problems with this application is has been suggested in the past to uninstall it and do a fresh re-install. However, in investigation it was determined that the uninstall does not consider all installed objects and does not uninstall the CD install.Can the uninstall functionality be modified to catch the other instances of this application and also uninstall them?

I would like to create a new form within my project that is identical in terms of the controls and components of one of my existing forms. The difference will be in the code where I will change some constants.
Is there a way to copy the controls and components(text boxes...) so that I don't have to use the design mode to create the form again?
I've tried copying the code of the original form and pasting it into the new form, however it only pastes the code and not the actual buttons and texts boxes.

I've been trying to work out away off using a drop down box to hide and show different components, on top of one another, within panels using this
Private Sub ComboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ComboBox1.SelectedIndexChanged
If ComboBox1.Text = "Panel 2" Then
Panel1.Visible = False
[code]....
However this only works as wanted when the panels are separate from one another (one above, one below) but I want them to be on top of each other so I can switch between them. Essentially I want two forms within a form.Second question; I have an equation I wish to implement in my code (N = N0*e^-a*b) does vb have a way of calculating exponentials and logs? (Ie: log(a/b))

Which is less resource-intensive (per se):
> Add controls/components (such as Performance Counters, Timers, etc.) to a project by dragging them onto the form and using them by setting the properties and using code to program what they do.
> Add controls/components (such as Performance Counters, Timers, etc.) to a project by using Dim x As New Performance Counter or Dim y As New Timer in code without actually dragging them from the Toolbox onto the bar at the bottom (under the Form Design).Or is there another way to do this that uses less CPU/RAM/Resources/etc.?

I'm messing with a GUI however I can't seem to find the auto-generated initialize components method. There certainly is a constructor somewhere, my gui initialises and works just fine, but I can't see it...

I am using the publish wizard in VB 2010 Professional for deployment as I tried the InstallShield and the Standard Build and cannot get support. My last resort is this wizard. Please help me I am getting the following 2 warnings. I downloaded MDAC 2.8 SP1 for warning 2 and after I run the program it doesn't upgrade and appear in VB2010. How can I install it in VB2010 Pro. Also How can I get the .Net.Framework.2.0 installed.
Warning 2 The 'SAP Crystal Reports Runtime Engine for .NET Framework 4.0' item selected requires 'Microsoft.Data.Access.Components.2.8'. Select the missing prerequisite in the Prerequisites Dialog Box or create a bootstrapper

I'm using the following code
' Visual Basic
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
[CODE]..........
Its straight off the Microsoft site found here: [URL]
When I add the required components and click on the button, my app simply disappears, closes, goes right back into a stopped state. No errors, No Warnings, No issues. Nothing. Its as-if there is a stray "END" just before the IF statement. (But there isn't) Its stopping right at the IF statement. My app (THEIR CODE) just makes it disappear and "Stop". The code was working about an hour ago, but now nothing, and thats the only code on the project.

I'm looking for any references on the best way to perform an unattended uninstall of a product using VB.NET. The product was installed using Windows Installer and the product name is Dell Kace Agent. I would like to perform the uninstall within the VB.NET code.Here's a VBScript that uninstalls a product using WMIC. This could be converted to VB.NET fairly easily, but is there a better way to perform a uninstall within VB.NET code than querying WMIC? I would rather not use WMIC to perform the uninstall maybe get the uninstall string from the registry?
strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\" _

Since installing Windows 7 on one of my test machines my automated uninstaller can not find the uninstall string. My script works on XP just fine. I noticed that the uninstall information is in a different location for Windows 7. it is in Wow6432NodeMicrosoft... is there a constant I can use that will allow my script find the correct uninstall location on both Windows 7 and Windows XP?

I've taken MS 4994A (Intro to VB.net), and am studying for 4995A (Advanced Intro to VB.net)Previous experience with VB6 and C++ tells me that the way to do it would be to create a program that will accept a list of computer names and check the registry one-by-one (I'm open to suggestions, though, of course). If it finds the program we're wanting to remove, it will remove it, then automagically install .net 2.0 and the .net version of the programs that were just removed.

I have a project that creates and installs a window service. I want to uninstall it because it is running both on my PC and on another. I want to leave it on the other. So when I open VS with the project, I right-click on the servicesetup and choose uninstall and it says "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed." It is listed in control panel Services, so isn't it installed?

I have an application that contains an MDB. This application has a feature that will allow the user to update the database to a newer version that is on a thumb drive.The database ispart of the application and is not user-updatable, so it seems as though it should live in the Program Files directory with all the other data files (xml, etc.)However, somehow it found its way into the Virtualstore.Now when I go through my process to update the database via the application when I try to run the application is is re-routed to the old mdb in the virtualstore.
But much worse than that, I found out that the virtualstore for the application survives a reinstall Now to my mind this is a huge bug because one would expect when one uninstalls and re-install an application that would have created a "clean slate" and everything would work correctly. But here I have an instance where the user thinks she has installed a fresh copy of the application but in fact is getting corrupted by old junk in the virtual store from a previous install.

I'm trying to read keys in the HKLM Uninstall section in my attempt to do a software inventory. I tried the WMI, it works but it doesn't show everything. I decided to just read each of the sub keys in the Uninstall section, but it doesn't show everything.

Ive created a shell context menu dll using the great example at [url]...
This dll can be included in a vb.net setup project and installs ok but upon uninstall Windows prompts the user to close explorer.exe for the uninstall to complete. If the user clicks ok then the windows GUI is lost and the user either needs to reboot or know how to run task manager and startup another instance of explorer.exe to get their desktop back.
Does anyone know how to go about uninstalling a context menu dll which is currently in use by explorer without ending the explorer.exe process.

(I found no server 2003 forums so i posted here) I have recently been tasked with moving legacy applications (written in VB 6) that have to be migrated from windows server 2K to windows 2003. My superiors tell me that we MUST use MDAC 2.7 because the VB 6 applications are very old and use office 97 (no chance for upgrade because they will break - they will be supplanted by .net applications) Also, if these legacy apps use 2.8 they will break as well.
I know that Windows Server 2003 automatically comes with MDAC 2.8 and there is no way to uninstall it (is there?). But is it possible to install MDAC 2.7 (parallel to 2.8) and force our applications to use the 2.7 version? Or do we have to stick with windows 2k if we HAVE to MDAC 2.7?
