Can't Access The Administrator Account
Jul 15, 2009
I created a vb application and I'm trying to deploy it. However, it needs to be run as administrator, which is not ideal as several machines I'm deploying it to can't access the administrator account. The odd part is that the development environment isn't on an administrator account. When I double click the compiled executable it runs fine. When I right click and choose Run As Current User the program crashes and gives me the same error I got when trying it on the target machines(without access to the administrator account.)

In order to install a windows app in user's laptop, I need to log in as local administrator account. To install app, there are two option:
Every one
Just me
Which option should I select in admin account? If I select "Just me", once admin log off and user log in, does user can run app?

While testing my software a friend of mine got the following Error: "Access to the database file is not allowed. [File name = ...etc..." I found out that this has to do with the user rights in Vista (perhaps also XP). How can I solve this?

I have a VB6 application which has been running succesfully for years under XP, however under Vista data loss has been observed.It appears that if the app is run 'as administrator' then it connects to the correct database file, however if the app. is not run as administrator then vista creates a copy of the database (no idea where) - hence I end up with 2 versions of the database.
In fact I can delete the database file entirely and the app. still works fine because vista is using it's own copy - the problem is how do I back up this 'vista copy' when I can't find it (search doesn't find it).

i currently have a project that needs to edit a few files in the startuppath folder. on a non administrator o.s., if my app. is installed in ( c:program filesmy crappy little app ), i cannot write to those files. in win7, it does not even ask for administrator approval, just the option to save to my documents.. this can be quite a hassle to work with, specially on closing the app, since i have quite a few files that need to be updated.

I am creating an application in vb.net that accesses a database on a drive that other students do not have access to. The program will not run correctly if it is run under one of these students accounts. How can I make it so the program will access the db under any account?

I'm trying to use two different methods of connecting to a database to edit data, the declaration below is working:
Dim rsConn As ADODB.Connection
rsConn.Open("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" _
& Application.StartupPath & "VFMS_DB.mdb;" _
& "Jet OLEDB:System Database=Security.mdw", "Ads", "1234")
but now I want to do the same thing with the declaration below but I keep getting the message "Not a valid account name or password.
Dim conn As OleDbConnection
conn = New OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" _
& Application.StartupPath & "VFMS_DB.mdb;" _
& "Jet OLEDB:System Database=Security.mdw;Database Account=Ads;Database Password=1234;")
I pretty sure it's because of this ;Database Account=Ads;Database Password=1234; not being correct. I tried ;User ID=Ads;Database Password=1234; and also to make it look like the first statement but neither worked.

I thought I postet this yesterday but I can't find my thread so if this is a duplicate please point me at the original one. Background: I need to create a user account and Modify it's registry before the user logs on the first time. Creating the account is done by using the Winnt provider (works great). To create the profile I'm trying to use Process.start to launch a process as the newly created user. With the use of loaduserprofile property the users profile gets created and i can do my regwrites without problem.

Ok this is what I'm stuck on:I have 2 ListBoxes and 2 Lists, let's call them ListBox1, ListBox2, List1 and List2.List1 needs to be associated with ListBox 1, and List2 with ListBox2 I loop through a bunch of accounts, add them to LixBox1 at run-time.During that loop I add each account number to List1 so now the account number is associated with the ListBox index number which is right.Now when I double click one of the accounts in ListBox1 it is added to ListBox2 (but it still remains in ListBox1), and the same index of List1 added to List 2, now the account in ListBox2 is associated with the account number at the same index in List2 you see where I'm going with this?The issue wtarts here.When I double click an account (let's say the account at the first index) in ListBox2 it should be removed from the list, so now I remove the index from List2 since it's no longer needed, but now you know what's happened right? ListBox2's List indexes have all decremented by 1 because I just removed an item from the beginning of the list, but List2's indexes have stayed the same (at least that's how it appeared when I tested it).
So basically whats the best method for keeping things in reference? I was told about list boxes in another thread of mine, but is it really the best way to go about this, I can't seem to keep everything linked together reliably.

I have an update app, which can be updated itself by another update app (so, the second app is an updater of the main updater). Both apps must have administrator permissions because of writing in the Program Files folder. Is it possible that when the main updater is running (under administrator rights) it can use Shell() to let the second updater run with administrator rights without a UAC confirm dialog popping up again?

I am developing an Excel workbook at work and I've got a problem. I'd like to save information entered in the workbook and save it in another one (called List, for example purposes), using a macro. The problem is that the file in which I want to save the information is located on a server. When people open List.xls, it's Read Only. So, when my macro executes, it opens a Read Only workbook...I'd like to do "Open As", just like you could do by right-clicking on any file in Windows XP. The result would be that the macro would log on as administrator only to open List.xls, write in it and save it under the same name.

I have a vb.net clickonce application that will be used by low-level personnel with no administrator accesses. However, the application itself needs to save files to a folder on the server that is hidden and only allows read/write access to administrators. I need for these users to be able to interact with this folder using the application without giving them the ability to browse to the folder on their own. I've tried using several impersonation techniques, none have worked.

I have a VB.net application that has datagridviews and date control in windows forms. I have the short date format set in the date controls and short date format is some columns of the datagridview.If I run the application on server 2008 it picks up the wrong short date format. I have the server 2008 regional settings as "en-AU" but for some reason the app picks up en-US as the current culture.If I run the app as the Administrator it seems to pick up the proper culture.[code]
