View 1 RepliesVista (and Windows 7?) Data Storage
Oct 19, 2009I have and application written that works great on XP. It is VB.Net 2008, using .net 3.5. I install and Access database to the program file directory. In Vista, I get an error that is permissions related as even admins don't have default write permissions to the Program Files directory and access creates a .ldb file when in use. To solve this, I have had the users give themselves permission to the folder.
Is that the best solution? If not, where should data be stored in Vista and in Windows 7? Also, I have an update feature of my software that will download updates to the program files folder. Is this out, too?

View 2 RepliesVS 2005 Piracy Protection Mechanism And Windows Vista Or Windows 7
Apr 19, 2010i 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.

View 1 RepliesDetect If Folder Is Shortcut In Vista?
Jul 27, 2009I have a program here that gets a list of directories from drive, and it works fine, but keeps listing the directories that are actually shortcuts/ junctions. For instance,[code]Will list all the directories(and files as well with .GetFiles) in 'c:\Users\All Users\', even tho 'All Users' is just a shortcut. This can lead to some problems, like 'c:\Users\All Users\Application Data\' lists all the files/folders in "All Users" including "Application Data", so it'll just keep recursing itself until it quits with an error. I can hard code it, and ignore that specific folder, but theres a few other shortcut folders that exist as well..So is there any way to detect and ignore those "directories"?
