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.
I've got a WinForms install which installs the SDF file in the application directory but when my application tries to access it - permission is denied.How do I set the install such that my users can access the SDF file for update/delete functions?
I've developed a simple Windows Service basically from following tutorials. However, when I go to add it the list of Services using the "Install Util", I get the following results and have no idea what it means.[code]
I have my program in windows xp when I deploy it using click-once, I can install it in windows 98/200/xp.However, when I am running in vista and use the click-once deployment, I can't install in windows xp.
I was reading how to install a windows service by using InstallUtil but is there a way to install it within the form and not use the visual studio console?
Since VB 2005 express does not really install properly in windows 7, here is how to get it to install and make it work right. It's very simple.
1. Right click on the VB 2005 express installer file and click "Properties" in the menu. 2. Now click the "Compatibility" tab. 3. Check the box that says, "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" 4. Click the drop down menu and select "Windows Vista Service Pack 2. (I haven't tried service pack one.) 5. Now check the box that says "Run this program as an administrator" and click "Apply," then "OK" 6. Run the installer. Wait until VB 2005 express has installed to do these next steps. 7. Make a desktop icon for VB 2005 Express 8. Right click on the VB 2005 express icon and click "Properties" in the menu. 9. Now click the "Compatibility" tab. 10. Check the box that says, "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" 11. Click the drop down menu and select "Windows Vista Service Pack 2. (I haven't tried service pack one.) 12. Now check the box that says "Run this program as an administrator" and click "Apply," then "OK"
VB 2005 Express should now run on you Windows 7 machine! (Yipee) Notice that it is necessary to repeat the same process for the installer file as well as the actual VB program becuase they are two different files and need to run in compatibility mode.
I will be googling this but in case I don't find it easily, here is my question - how do you install a windows service that you've developed on your own PC to a server? Is there an option to produce the package (I thought it was an msi file) which you can run on the server?
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 cannot install Visual Basic 6.0 Pro Edition on my new computer which is on Windows 7 Home Edition. My old computer croaked, and I am trying to install it on my new computer with the disc that I have from installing on my old computer. The new computer is 64-bit Dell machine. The error message that I get is: "Microsoft has problems with this software on this Windows Edition". This is the essence of the message; may not be exact. I read about WOW as a work around, but how can I work around when I can't get it to install?
I have written a VB.NET windows service application. I installed it in my system using the Installutil.exe. But this is not available in the client's system because the .NET is not installed in that system.Is there any way to install the .NET windows service application without the Installutil ?
I'm trying to install Microsoft Speech SDK 5.1 on my Windows XP Professional computer for a VB.Net project I'm working on and I'm getting nowhere. I have Office 2007 Pro. Can anyone confirm or deny that this cannot be done? I have an old Office 2002 disk. Would it do any good to put that on the computer (due to the fact that you're supposed to install Speech through Office and Office 2007 does not do this)? Will installing Office 2002 interfere with Office 2007?

I have created a windows application. Now i am ready to distribute and install the program, but I want to have the user need a password to install the program. Like a product key that I could set per individual customer. Is there a way to do this?
I have an application that allows the user to conduct database backups and restores. The users had been using Windows XP, with network security that allowed users to read the registry. For restores, the installation path to the SQL Server named instance was easily found by looking up the instance name in the registry using
They have recently upgraded to Windows 7, and locked down the registry so that users can not read values from it. Is there a way (via code) to find the path to a named instance of SQL Server, so that the app can automatically place the database files (mdb & ldb) in the correct folder?
I tried numerous times to install visual web developer express 2010 on my new Dell with Windows 7 32 bit but it simply fails to install the VC 9.0 runtime file.
I've been busy with work and other bits and bobs and not really had much time for programming... but anyway, I have just written a fairly simple windows service in VB.NET and although I can install it on my PCs/servers using the command line InstallUtil.exe component, this isnt ideal for other people that may need to install it without my assistance.
So basically I just need to know how to get a normal Setup and Deployment VS project to install this service itself... I thought it would be as simple as selecting the service assembly to include in the deployment project and building it, but unfortunately that seems to do naff all. Do I need to use a 'Custom Action' in the setup project (and if so, how/what do I do?)
I need to install a windows service via an .msi for many tablets which is nooooo problem. The problem is, the tablets currently have the service running which was installed by installutil. So when my installer runs, regardless of Remove Previous Version is true, it stops stating the service already exists and to uninstall it from Add/Remove Programs.So I wrote a console app which preceeds the primary output as follows:
Sub Main() Try Dim filename As String = "C:Program FilesRSCProjectServiceSetupRSCProjectService.exe" 'Dim filename As String = "C:RSCProjectServiceRSCProjectServiceinDebugRSCProjectService.exe" If System.IO.File.Exists(filename) Then
I am trying to create an msi install for my windows service. The reason for creating an msi is that the intended users want to be able to quickly install the service with as-little intervention as possible.
i can get the service to install as a msi but i have a variable within my code that i need the user to define when the msi is being installed. the variable i require from the user is the file path which they want the xml files my service creates to be located.
i thought i could configure the app.config application settings to contain the file path that the xml files should be written to. However i'm struggling to do this and im not to sure if its the best way to do it?
I have my setup project that contains my executable and has my textbox which will contain the one variable from the user.I have an installer class which contains my serviceinstaller and process installer. This is where im struggling to understand what i need to do next. Do i need to override the install method? The current code of my installer class was automatically generated and is as follows:

I have a project that i have created in Visual Studio express and SQL server express. i want to create an install file so that i can send to others to install. Currently it is requiring the user to install SQL server Express and 3.5 .net framework.what steps can i take to stop the user having to install these 2 so that it is a simple install for them.
I'm looking to make a simple install wizard to install my program (I know Visual Studio 2010 already has an installer) but anyway, I would like to make it myself, kind of line reinvent the wheel?
