C# - Monitor Install/Uninstall Of Fonts On Windows?
Sep 4, 2010
I'm kind of shooting in the dark here - searches don't seem to be productive on this. I want to create a .NET program to monitor the install and uninstall of fonts. If something is installed or uninstalled, I want to run a program to do something.
I thought maybe a Windows Service, but haven't gotten very far with figuring out how to monitor fonts. Is this the right way and if so, what am I overlooking? If not, is there a different way to do this?

I created a myapp setup project and set "RemovePreviousVersions = true". I have to uninstall previous myapp first and then install new one. Is there any any way to create a setup msi file to uninstall and install at the same step?

I'm trying to add a printer as part of my install and then remove that printer as part of the uninstall, and I'm not having much luck. I can add the printer using a shell command and the "printUI.dll" but when I try to use the addprinter() from the windows API, nothing happens. When I try to delete a test printer with the deleteprinter() function, it executes fine... but doesn't actually remove the printer. Everything I've been able to find on it seems to indicate that my code is right, but obviously I'm missing something because its not working.
VB
Module Module1
Public Declare Auto Function OpenPrinter Lib "winspool.drv" _
(ByVal pPrinterName As String, _
ByRef phPrinter As IntPtr, _
ByVal pDefault As PrinterDefaults) As Int32

I have program that on first run will run after installed will setup a server connection. The next times the program is run it will not execute this code to setup the server as it was done in the first run.
I can't use clickOnce IsFirstRun as the customer doesn't want that used for installation.I am using MSI to create the setup. I right click setup / view / Registry. I create a key value, example "HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareReality", "App", "Installed"I set the property AlwaysCreate = false, and DeleteAtUninstall = true.
My big question I don't want to create the key value when the application is first installed. Only delete it when uninstalled.My code for checking for the key value:
Code:If (My.Computer.Registry.GetValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareReality", "App", Nothing) <> "Installed") Then 'The program is running for the first time so create key value My.Computer.Registry.SetValue("HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareRealitySolutions", "CodeRed", "Installed") 'Setup server for the fist time Else 'The key exists so go no need to setup the server'Do something else End If
The key value deletes on the uninstalled - which is what i want it to do. However, it always creates the key value when installed. i don't want it to do this. It should only create the key value in the code.Can any tell me, when setting up the registry in the setup project, is there a way to stop it from creating the key value when the program is installed.

I have made updates to my programs, including a large update with the fonts on my forms. The only problem is this font is not found on vista or Windows XP and must be downloaded. The program is completely ruined with its looks without it. Is their a way so that both Windows XP and Vista could download these fonts, On startup of the first form, Form Load maybe? Even if the user says that he or she would like to see the program with the fonts? I just don't want to take the many hours i wasted resizing with the new fonts, ect. If it would be easier I could ask the user if they are using Windows XP, Or Vista?

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 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?

I have a Deployment project which creates an MSI setup file to install a service. (VB .NET) I have a reference to another project which is a win form application and has a setup form which takes the user name, password and some other settings information which will be used by a service. It has "Finish" and "Cancel" buttons. I am creating a new instance of this form on Sub New() of the ProjectInstaller Class, so user can input information, click Finish and installation completes. The service is then automatically started. Now, when I click Cancel on the settings form, I am not able to exit out and halt the installation process. Instead it installs the service !! How can I use the Rollback or Uninstall methods to do the task? I was trying this -
On cancel_click, set boolean var cacelStatus = True
On Sub New() method of ProjectInstaller class, I am checking - If true - uninstall, else - install
How can I achieve this?

I'm trying to design a windows form application. By default, .NET had put Tahome 8,25 on toolbar and Microsoft SansSerif 8,25 on everything else. To improve general look and feel of the forms I'd like to change them.
Which font family should I use as a default? And what size should they be?
For:
Classic data input form (label + textbox, label + combobox...)
Data grid
Is there any recommended way?
Application is a classic business app, you can think of it as an accounting type.

Second, I have a question which I have been trying to find answer for a wile but without any success.How can I monitor Windows Process for any change (create/kill) after run my app ? the only way I have think about it is that used two lists, the first one load the process list on it and the second refresh each 1 sec to get the new one and compare the two to know the difference, but its useless because you cant know who killed or created the process and other information.
As I have been read before, I guess there is a need to implement windows API, hook to detect process changes ? Is there any idea or solution for this?
Note: I am using VB.NET (2010)

What is the best way to handle resolution issues on the monitor when writing a windows app from VB.Net.I developed an app on my laptop, it's widescreen and res is set to 1440 x 900. When I take my app and run it on a machine with an older Analog monitor and the res is 1024 x 768, all of the forms on the right and bottom are cut off.

I want to find the framework class that enables one to choose an image at design-time. I can find the editor that is used at run-time - its the Drawing.Design.ImageEditor. At design time, however, a different editor pops up which allows one to choose an image from resources.I'm guessing I could run some kind of program, then open up the image editor, from the property grid, and see what new windows/classes have been created?

I am trying to create a windows service that sits in the background waiting for programs to be started. When the programs start I want to be able to check a unique bit of information for each program (I believe GUIDs may provide this) to see what the program is. If the program is not allowed, I aim to provide a warning to the user and possibly close the program. The aim of the application is to identify when users are attempting to install additional software on to the computer so simply monitoring for a certain executable wouldn't work as msiexec is called for all MSI's and as I only want to stop blacklisted programs...this wouldn't work.

I am trying to install VB6 (actually, visual Studio 6) on Win7. In the very early steps of setup, I am stuck to "Need to install Microsoft Java Virtual Machine". If I uncheck the JVM box, I am not allowed to continue. If i check it, I am told that JVM is unsupported for Win7, the PC is rebooted (why?), and on restart i am to the same JVM required spot. I need to perform some maintenance on some old project, just too big to be ported to .NET (if the only thing I can do is to port them, I'd rather port to Delphy or C++ codegear: I am not so crazy to do the same mistake twice, and use the new M$ junk to replace the old M$ junk). I have payed good money for the licence of Visual Studio 6, for a PERPETUAL licence. I DEMAND M$ let me use it.

I have developed a Windows service. During the installation, I get the following warning/error:�Cannot start service from the command line or debugger. A Windows Service must first be installed (using installutil.exe) and then started with the Server Explorer, Windows Service Administrative tools or the NET start command.�
I am not trying to start it. I am only installing it (right-click from setup project). The StartType is set to Manual, and the Service Process Installer account is set to User. I do not get prompted for the service login credentials.I am using Visual Studio 2005, VB.Net running on Windows Server 2003 SP2.
