Feb 24, 2012I'm having a massive problem trying to write a file into the c:windowssystem32 directory. The code works fine on 32 bit machines, however does not work on 64 bit machines. My user account is an administrator on the machine, and even right clicking and choosing to run the app as administrator does not solve the issue.
When writing the file, no exception is thrown, but the file is not written. I have read various posts regarding adding an app.manifest file containing the requestedExecutionLevel node to my solution, but as yet am unable to get this to work. I have a feeling this may be because I'm using vb.net rather than c#.net(also, this is not a malicious app I am writing, I'm working on a version control app for our team and need to be able to interface with IIS files held in c:windowssystem32inetsrvconfig).

Apr 2, 2010I'd like to use the webrequest webresponse method to test for the existence of a file.If the first file is there, then I want to test for the existance of the same filename with -1.htm appended to it. If that filename exists, then test for filname-2.htm This continues until the filename being tested comes back 404 error. At which point, the program does NOT blow up, but the do until loop stops and the code continues. I have to search for a link on each one of the pages found once I have determined how many pages there are.How do I test for a file and not have it blow up? It has to loop and it goes through at least once. this is code I wrote. Right now the page just keeps going and going. IE's little logo on the page tab keep going around in a circle like it's in an endless loop.

VS 2010 Windowssystem32 Writes To Windowssyswow64?
Sep 22, 2011trying to write to c:windowssystem32 on a windows 7 x64 machine, but the application keeps writing to c:windowssyswow64 instead. I have heard of windows interpreting commands and modifying them to be what microsoft "thinks" you are trying to do.when dealing with 32 bit apps running on a 64 bit os.the line of code im using is:
System.IO.File.WriteAllBytes("C:WindowsSystem32dbcon9x64TEST.dll", My.Resources.dbcon9X64)
the issue is I need to write files to both c:windowssystem32 and c:windowssyswow64 ....the files need to have the same name.

Each and everything is working file, but when I install my application on any x64 machine. My application is unable to read the in WindowsSystem32 files. I think this is because of WOW64(windows-32-on-windows-64) issue. I don't want to install these files at any other place because of application security purpose.

.net - Check If A Directory Can Be Renamed?
Jun 29, 2009My thought is to use CreateFile from kernel32 and check for sharing violations. I believe this will work because I watched the file system activity with Process Monitor while issuing a rename command from CMD that I knew would fail and the last activity was a failed CreateFile call that resulted in a sharing violation.This is the Process Monitor information on the call.
Desired Access: Read Attributes, Delete, Synchronize
Disposition: Open
Options: Synchronous IO Non-Alert, Open Reparse Point
Attributes: n/a
ShareMode: Read, Write, Delete
AllocationSize: n/a
Using this VB code, I produced a call which gave the same information in Process Monitor but did not cause the sharing violation.
CreateFile(theDirectoryPath, _
FILE_READ_ATTRIBUTES Or DELETE Or SYNCHRONIZE, _
FILE_SHARE_READ Or FILE_SHARE_WRITE Or FILE_SHARE_DELETE, _
[code]....
The constants are pulled from various MSDN and pinvoke.net sources.If I call the above code recursively on all subfolders it will eventually cause the sharing violation, but when CMD refused to rename, it did not recurse. Yes, I know I could just try and catch the exception. But the point at which I want to know if the directory can be renamed and the point at which I want to rename the directory are not the same.

Check If Directory Exists On Network?
Jun 5, 2012I can't seem to work this out... I've got a program that references a network path. The problem is that the network files are not found when I run the program from various computers. If I have the user navigate to the network path directoy and then run the program it works perfectly.
The problem is that whenever the machine is restarted I run into the same problem and have to manually navigate to that path before the program will be able to find the files.
I then tried several checks to see if the directory exists but it's not working.

View 1 RepliesSearching Byte Array For Existence Of Another One?
Apr 2, 2009I need to search a Byte array for the existence of another Byte array. The first array is large, about 30,000 bytes and the second varies but is usually between 300 and 500 bytes. I need to know the start position of the second array inside the first. For example if these were the arrays:
Code:
Array 1 Array 2
00
34
00
23 23
00 00
64 64
00 00
41 41
00
45
92
33
I would need to know the start position is 3.
Code:
For x = 0 To UBound(Array1)
If Array1(x) = Array2(0) And Array1(x + 1) = Array2(1) And Array1(x + 2) = Array2(2) Then
' Found it
End If
Next
And loop through finding it by brute force but array 2 will be a different size on each system so doing the above, although I could make it work, isn't practical. I could even do multiple if's like if I find the first byte then find the second, then find the third, and make it a little more bearable but still. Is there a simple way to find a array inside another array?
VS 2008 Checking For Existence Of Registry Key?
Jan 6, 2010I am trying to have my program check for the existence of a registry key so I do not get a null reference exception error. The key may or may not exist depending on the computer. How can I check to see if it exists and then change its value if it does exist or skip over it to the next one if it does not exist? (I already know how to change the value part of it) Im just not sure how to check for the existence of it for example would be trying to set the value of a key that does not exist called test below... this obviously would throw a null exception error so how do I check for the existence of the key before executing these instructions and then if it does not exist it skips this and keeps going to the next code ?
Dim testkey As RegistryKey = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("SystemCurrentControlSetTEST", True)
Dim keyval As Int32
' Set to ON
keyval = 1
testkey.SetValue("ON", keyval)
I also check the status of the registry entry on form load
Dim Test As RegistryKey = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("SystemCurrentControlSetMYTEST", False)
'Get the reg value.
