VS 2010 Where The Install Shield Gets The User Information From?
Feb 28, 2011
I need to know where the Install Shield gets the user information from?
This comes up on the last page of an install at the bottom.
User Information:
Name:
Company:
Does this information comes from the machine that is installing and if so where? or Does this information get stored in the installshield project? If so How can I change this?
I have changed two registry keys from:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareWow6432NodemicrosoftWindows NTCurrent Version
RegisteredOrganization
RegisteredOwner
My application project was created before I made the change. I then deleted the install shield project and started over but got the same results..
For some reason my setup project says
user: Microsoft
company: Microsoft
I would like to change this to my User Information if possible.
I have a project that i have created in Visual Studio express and SQL server express. i want to create an install file so that i can send to others to install. Currently it is requiring the user to install SQL server Express and 3.5 .net framework.what steps can i take to stop the user having to install these 2 so that it is a simple install for them.
I have a text box where i am entering numbers of double datatype andon the Keytdown event of the textbox some checks take pace and in certain circumstances I want to be able to stop the user from entering other information until they enter the right information in the textbox (where it says right here) . now when I say exit sub the textbox somehow loses focus . but this is not how I want it to be I want the textbox to remain with the focus so the user can change the information . How can i go about this. And the other thing is why is my txtDestPayRate1.Focus() just befor the exit sub not working?
Private Sub txtDestPayRate1_KeyDown1(sender As Object, e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles txtDestPayRate1.KeyDown
Is it possible to install VS 2010 first,then install VS2008?i am asking this because in many cases(specially while installing the O.S) i see that after installing the higher version the lower version of O.S cant be installed....and if want to install linux then it might be installed after installing all the windows O.S starting from xp,then vista,then win7 and finally fedora 12..
I've create a setup for my vb application with visual studio. At the end of the install I want to launch the application so i've add a custom action and used the chell to launch it. It's work but... the application is launch as SYSTEM user...is there a way to launch it in normal user (on win7 as administrator)?
My clickonce app has the following pre-requisites: Windows Installer 3.1 .NET Framework 3.5 Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Report Viewer Microsoft Visual Basic Power Packs 3.0 SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP2 (x86) The application has been successfully installed on more than 30 computers. All but 2 computers, have had installation problems.
For awhile, one of the two computers in question, would not resolve installation of SQL server 2005 Express edition. It would go through the motions of downloading the program and then attempting an install and after a good 30 minutes, an error would show up indicating that the installation had failed. The user continued to have a nuisance error pop up appear when he'd log into his computer.Long story short, I resolved that problem. So now all of the pre-requisites are installed and confirmed as successfully installed. The clickonce application does not install however. The following log file was created as a result of this error:
PLATFORM VERSION INFO Windows : 5.1.2600.131072 (Win32NT) Common Language Runtime : 2.0.50727.3053 System.Deployment.dll : 2.0.50727.3053 (netfxsp.050727-3000) mscorwks.dll : 2.0.50727.3053 (netfxsp.050727-3000)
I have an idea to make user machine no need to install dotnet framework to run a .net program
first,copy all the project refrence(with mscorlib.dll)to the program directory
then,make a bat file,"dotnet error fix.bat",inside the file includes the command that copy refrences to Microsoft.NET directory will the program run like this?how do i test?
I am a new Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition and just finished and distributed my first program. However, one of my users (Using Windows Vista 64-bit) cannot install my program. He gets the following error An error occurred while installing system components for <PROGRAM NAME> Setup cannot continue untill all system components have been successfully installed. Component .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 has failed to install with the following error message: "Another installation is already in progress. Complete that installation before proceeding with this install." Other 64-bit users on both Windows 7 and Vista don't have this problem.
how I can deploy my .NET applicationwithout the user having to install the program.i.e. In VB6, I could just create a executable file which did not require the user to install anything, they would simple run the program.
My freeware program launches 50 freeware programs and provides a guide for PC maintenance and health. As mentioned in another post, my program was reviewed on Sofpedia. One thing the Reviewer criticized was the fact that my program requires the user to install these 50 programs in the default locations (usually C:Program Filesx). The reviewer thinks it would be best if the user can install to any location he/she desires and my program be able to point to the proper location when launching the application.
Need to install a font on all user's machines that will use the application I am writing which creates custom documents in Word. It's a barcode font.I've successfully added the font to my solution and set its build action to Embedded Resource and have also successfully written code to check if the font is already installed on the user's system.
I wanted to know how I can make a stand alone exe without making the user install the application. So that the program can be ran from a disk or flash drive. Currently I can run it just fine on the PCs, I'm developing it on. But when I take it to another, that has the targeted framework, it crashes.
My program has 1,000 + .rtf files and when I publish/Install it's HUGE! 200mb +. I have other apps from other software companies that have more documents than mine, and their entire application is around 50mb. What am I missing here? How do I accomplish the same thing? Does it have to do with the Property Settings of the .rtf files called: "Build Action" and "Copy to Output Directory"? I set my "Build Action" to "Content" for all my .rtf files, and set "Copy to Output Directory" to "Copy Always".
Can I safely move ReferencePath information from a .vbproj.user (or .csproj.user) file into the corresponding project file? Note: All developers will be using developing from the same location on their machines.We'd like to allow users to maintain their own settings for other things, but have this basic info be setup once and checked into source control to be shared to all.
net application. .exe generated is sufficient to use software. since I have 700 MB (~8k media files) data to include as part of installation I do not want to use visual studio deployment wizard.
Well I used the Visual Studio 2010 installer to install my application and I want it to be able to change the version displayed in the in the Add/ Remove Programs (in the Control Panel). How can I do this without going through the install wizard again?
I'm bulding a program that willl work with a database the database is made with mysql.I would like to know if there is a way to install the DB automatically with the application without requiring the user to create a mysql server...the db have more than 5 million records.
How can i check if the username has a administrator role or a member..
here is my code..
vb.net Try Dim connection As New OleDb.OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:UsersMaynielDocumentsVisual Studio 2010ProjectsSampleSystemUserAccount.mdb")'Get the count of the records with matching user ID and password.
I'm writing software in VB .NET (2005) which uses the Windows user information as login credentials - just the username. I've found Environment.UserName which works for the username (as you would expect).However, I need more information - I need the full name of the user (as shown on the Start Menu). It seems this information is stored... somewhere, as Windows is able to use it for things like permissions on file shares.
I have an app where users form up an e-mail by filling out various fields. They give the form the data, then the e-mail is assembled in the background from all the data they put into the form. Pretty straightforward.
I've added a "Preview" button. When they click, I want a box to pop up and show them what their e-mail will look like when they send it.
I can use MessageBox.Show but these e-mails can get pretty long and as best I understand it, there's no way to control the MessageBox.Show size, word-wrap or add a scroller; so this isn't really appropriate to the overall task.
That said, the information IS all concatenated into a single string with CrLf and such in there for most fields. I just need something that I can send this to and have it create the output window at size X with auto-word-wrap and scroller.
Is there a straightforward way to do this in VB.Net 2010?
Dim OLE As String = "SELECT * FROM Utilizadores WHERE [Username] = @Username and [Password] = @Password" Dim myConnectionString As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source='" & My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath & "BD.mdb';Persist Security Info=True;" Dim connection As New OleDbConnection(myConnectionString)

I am trying to store confidential encrypted user information for my program on a single computer. I do not want the application to be copied on to another computer and be usable. So I was thinking about storing the information in the Registry but I read that that is a very unsafe location and is bad for more reasons then one. I started storing the information in the programs Settings.config file but I am not sure how to encrypt that information. The only thing I have gotten to work so far is storing the information in a XML file and encrypting that which has worked but I want the information to be more hidden and more secured.
Does anyone know how I would go about saving usernames and passwords from websites using a webbrowser control?.Like with IE7 you can save your website passwords and stuff and have it automatically entered when you re-visit the site.
How can I access the current user information via LDAP and VB.Net 2.0*? I found a vbscript that works, but I'd rather have it done in .net
Dim objSysInfo = CreateObject("ADSystemInfo") Dim strUser = objSysInfo.UserName 'returns current user account Dim objUser = GetObject("LDAP://" & strUser) 'queries active directory for user account
I'm using the framework 2.0 because it is for more likely in my XP/Vista/7 World to have 2.0 installed than 3.5 or 4.0
