View 2 RepliesI am trying to make my application run on Windows 7 X64. The application runs fine, however the explorer process keeps crashing after i started or ended the application. Explorer crashes mostly on right mouse button clicks. This gives me a feeling there are pointer problems / mem overloads with the application Application CPU is set to X86, i ran into debug mode with stack traces no serious issues found. I am using a couple of Api's and i know there are rules regarding WOW64 mode however they are really unclear. MSDN doesn't supply the information i need.

I've made a program in Visual Basic 2010 SP1, but users that are on Windows XP report that it isn't compatible, although they have installed Microsoft.NET Framework 4. I even tested it myself on a WinXP computer with the latest framework and it just crashes. My computer has Windows 7 and it works flawlessly. All my other programs are compatible with XP, but this one isn't. I have developed this program in Visual Basic 2010 SP1, and the other were developed in the normal Visual Basic 2010. Does this problem have anything to do with Visual Basic 2010 SP1?

View 2 Repliesi have created some shareware applications. I implemented the following mechanism for piracy protection. Before Windows Vista and Windows 7 i did write a dll file to the System32 folder with an encrypted license key. Also in the Registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE i inserted a registry key.
The problem is that with Windows Vista and Windows 7 due to the User Account Control (UAC) this is denied.
I want to ask : what other mechanism can be implemented ? Where should i store the encrypted key file and the registry key.
I want that the application can be installed for all users of a computer only once.
If i stored the key in the user's application data directory then another user could easily just install it under another user account. Also i do not want to put the key file in the application directory because that would be too obvious.
note that i create the registry key with my application and not with the installer.
