Error - You Do Not Have Sufficient Access To Uninstall XXXX
Jun 18, 2011
I have developed a Visual Basic application but this issue happens regardless of the programming language used to make the app. The application consists of a single EXE file. Now I am trying to add install/uninstall capabilities to it without using external setup packagers like InstallShield or whatnot..
For example I have programmed the command-line switch "/install" to add the necessary registry key values under HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionUninstall This has worked flawlessly. Now my application appears in the "Programs and Features" list along with all other installed programs from my computer. Now when I click the "Uninstall/Change" button it is supposed to execute the contents of the "UninstallString" key which is calling my application with the "/uninstall" switch. This in turn will delete itself and remove the entry from the registry.
The problem is that when I click the "Uninstall/Change" button I get an error message saying that I do not have sufficient access to uninstall my app even though I am logged on as an administrator.It is worth mentioning that if I right click on the executable file, select "Properties" and check the "Run as administrator" option then the uninstall will work like a charm but I would like to know how to make it work without running it as administrator.I mean all other applications can be uninstalled just fine and they are not running as administrator. Also the uninstall will work flawlessly on Windows XP but that was something to be expected. The problem happens both in Vista and Windows 7. In Vista I even get an UAC prompt and after I confirm that it still tells me that I don't have sufficient access.
I just put all my aspx files on the local folder and made a website in IIS7. I added a virtual directory to it and then converted the virtual directory to application. The website loads properly but when i click the link that calls my application i get this error message.

it works on 32bit and framework 4 - error: could not load file or assembly Interop.XXXX.dll Steps to reproduce:Create a new VB.Net winform project on a 64 bit system with framework 4 drop windows media player control on form. builds and runs fine. project references has two interops to temporary directory under obj folder copy if necessary the two interops to the build output path and delete the old project references and add new ones pointing to the interops in the output path build and run, everything is fine.ste the target frameowrk to 3.5 and repeat the whole process. the build fails.This is just a simple example of what I am seeing on a much mor complex project. It happens with all interops, not just WMP.
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 am trying to uninstall VB express 2005 but keep getting an error that it cannot complete. I have looked but could not find a place to reinstall to see if after that it will let me then uninstall it like many have suggested but can not locate an install place. I am trying to get it removed to see if it will then let me install SQL 2008 on my computer.
I am trying to create a new folder in C:\Windows\System32\oobe but I cannot get sufficient privileges. Here is the bit of code that has the error ' I have "CreateDirectory("C:\Windows\System32\oobe\info\backgrounds") in the Form load sub Sub CreateDirectory(ByVal Path As String) Directory.CreateDirectory(Path) End Sub
And then in Form Load I have: Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load CreateDirectory("C:\Windows\System32\oobe\info\backgrounds") End Sub
It keeps saying I don't have the privileges. Is there any way around this? I also need to put files in that folder later on.
I was using the code below but it says it cannot find process XXXX but if i press continue it doesnt work as expected:
Me.Visible = False Dim ProcId As Integer ProcId = Shell("c:windowssystem32cmd.exe", AppWinStyle.NormalFocus)

What im trying to do is execute cscript from the open command prompt and pass it a vbscript by typing into using sendkeys but it doesn't finish typing the keys. Can i use process.start also or does someone think that i have made an logic error in code above? Its in the form load event.
Note: code cannot be put in a button because this is an program that will run hidden and i need this vbscript to run just as a test but eventually i want the program to act like a service but except its really a hidden process and not a service. Also, for clarity its for my kinect project. The reason for hidden program is because end user should not see the program running because the end user is a kid or teacher and they might close down the program hence making it useless.

So, reading around varous places, (MSDN, these forums, CodeProject etc.) it's clear that you should dispose of any Pen's, Brushes etc. that you create and that perhaps the best way is via aUsing block. But some behaviour has confused me and I think it might be related to the color I use when I create the Pen / Brush (read this in a post in the C# forums).It now works since I've used a Using block to replace the Dim....Dispose() shown below. But I don't understand why because all the Using block does is ensure that the used object is disposed of. It's just short-hand for Dim....Dispose() - at least that's what I understand
just forgot, I knew this "Textbox1.text = format(textbox1.text, "####.00")" will set up the format to 4number with two decimal - 1234.00, how about if the user enter 12345.00, five number with two decimal, how did you do the check and give error message?
I have a program in VB.NET 2005. At some point I have to open an Access2003-Application for getting data in it. I do that by pretending my program is a human user and let it do all the work in Access as a human user would do. Filling Fields, pressing buttons etc. I use the Primary Interop Assemblies for that. So far so good. That code is in use for over half a year now. In the last week I got Office 2007 installed on my machine. Of course I tested the installed version of my program if everthing still works. Every test was succesfull. But if I do the same tests in Visual Studio it always crashes.
All I get is this Errormessage: {"Das COM-Objekt des Typs "Microsoft.Office.Interop.Access.FormClass" kann nicht in den Schnittstellentyp "Microsoft.Office.Interop.Access._Form3" umgewandelt werden. Dieser Vorgang konnte nicht durchgefhrt werden, da der QueryInterface-Aufruf an die COM-Komponente fr die Schnittstelle mit der IID "{66B22FB4-F70E-4F03-A00A-F76E9ADBBF10}" aufgrund des folgenden Fehlers nicht durchgefhrt werden konnte: Schnittstelle nicht untersttzt (Ausnahme von HRESULT: 0x80004002 (E_NOINTERFACE))."}
For all who can't read german:
"Microsoft.Office.Interop.Access.FormClass" can't be converted in to "Microsoft.Office.Interop.Access._Form3" ... Interface is not supported.
Code I use:
Dim access As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Access.Application = Nothing . . . access = New Microsoft.Office.Interop.Access.Application()

The Error occurs when I try to access any property of "access.Forms("frmTest")"
I'm looking for any references on the best way to perform an unattended uninstall of a product using VB.NET. The product was installed using Windows Installer and the product name is Dell Kace Agent. I would like to perform the uninstall within the VB.NET code.Here's a VBScript that uninstalls a product using WMIC. This could be converted to VB.NET fairly easily, but is there a better way to perform a uninstall within VB.NET code than querying WMIC? I would rather not use WMIC to perform the uninstall maybe get the uninstall string from the registry?
(using VB2008) I am trying to automate Access from VB.Net. To do this, I added two libraries to my project, Microsoft.Office Interop.Access v12.0.0.0, and dao v10.0.4504.0. This seems to give me all the necessary commands, yet when I tried to open up an Access database via the following code:
Since installing Windows 7 on one of my test machines my automated uninstaller can not find the uninstall string. My script works on XP just fine. I noticed that the uninstall information is in a different location for Windows 7. it is in Wow6432NodeMicrosoft... is there a constant I can use that will allow my script find the correct uninstall location on both Windows 7 and Windows XP?
My trial version of VS9 professional just expired and wanted to uninstall it, however upon loading, it goes into debug mode and displays the message;an unhandled win32 exception occurred in setup.exe [3816]If I do go into debug mode, then it loads VS but since my version is already expired, I can't do anything but close it...I can't repair it since I dont have the original installation files (its VS9 professional ENU, and microsoft doesnt have it up for downloads anymore.. but here is a SS of the other programes installed which are related to VS9.[URL]..
I've taken MS 4994A (Intro to VB.net), and am studying for 4995A (Advanced Intro to VB.net)Previous experience with VB6 and C++ tells me that the way to do it would be to create a program that will accept a list of computer names and check the registry one-by-one (I'm open to suggestions, though, of course). If it finds the program we're wanting to remove, it will remove it, then automagically install .net 2.0 and the .net version of the programs that were just removed.
I have a project that creates and installs a window service. I want to uninstall it because it is running both on my PC and on another. I want to leave it on the other. So when I open VS with the project, I right-click on the servicesetup and choose uninstall and it says "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed." It is listed in control panel Services, so isn't it installed?
I am looking for a way to uninstall an application installed using the MSI Installer.I believe there should be a way out to directly call the Uninstall module specifically for a particular application using VB.Net.How can I achieve this using VB.Net? I am using VB.Net 2005.
I have an application that contains an MDB. This application has a feature that will allow the user to update the database to a newer version that is on a thumb drive.The database ispart of the application and is not user-updatable, so it seems as though it should live in the Program Files directory with all the other data files (xml, etc.)However, somehow it found its way into the Virtualstore.Now when I go through my process to update the database via the application when I try to run the application is is re-routed to the old mdb in the virtualstore.
But much worse than that, I found out that the virtualstore for the application survives a reinstall Now to my mind this is a huge bug because one would expect when one uninstalls and re-install an application that would have created a "clean slate" and everything would work correctly. But here I have an instance where the user thinks she has installed a fresh copy of the application but in fact is getting corrupted by old junk in the virtual store from a previous install.
This is not a homework of mine and i had never tried ms access database with vb so i just gave it a shot. so this is my first time and i am just trying not asking anyone to complete my homework. I have been searching for this a lot on internet but couldn't find a solution to this so i decided to ask this question here. i have this sql code. what i want to do is that create a basic login form where users puts it's username in the UsernameTextbox and Password in the PasswordTextbox. If the the information match then a message box appears saying that the user is valid and if the information does not exist, a mesage box appears saying the users is not valid. now everytime i execute(run) the code, i come up with this error: Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression ''UserName' = 'Admin' 'PassWord' = 'testing123''.
The field names(UserName, PassWord) are also correct they are same as in the database. the information put in the username and password textbox are correct and they match the information on the database. But i dont know why this error comes up.
My code module is the following:
Imports System.Data.OleDb
Public Class LoginForm1
' Cancel button Private Sub Cancel_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Cancel.Click Me.Close() End Sub
this is my code for adding users in my database but it has an error on the INSERT INTO statement.here is the error: Microsoft office access database engine: syntax error in INSERT INTO statement.
vb.net Private Sub Button6_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button6.Click Dim conn As New OleDbConnection(cn) Dim check As Integer
