I Am very new at this, for the past week I have been trying to figure out how to open an .exe file from a certain file, what i am trying to do is create a program that will be portable-via jump drive or cd drive, the reason i feel stupid is that I did not realize that visual basic and vb.net are two different animals- I was trying to use app.path for days- then came across a post that set me straight that I can not use it-

I have been trying to figure out how to open an .exe file from a that is in a certain file, what i am trying to do is create a program that will be portable-via jump drive or cd drive, the reason i feel stupid is that I did not realize that visual basic and vb.net are two different animals- I was trying to use app.path for days- then came across a post that set me straight that I can not use ituch for what I need
system.diagnostics.process.start("C:
od.exe")

What I am trying to figure out is a way to copy a file and paste it in another location. So that there will be the original file in the user set location, and then a duplicate of that file in, say, the "Program Files" folder. I would also need some way to check if the file exists to, so that it doesn't keep creating a new file each time the program starts up.
to sum it up: I need to be able to copy a file to a predetermined location and check if the file exists, and if it doesn't, it will copy the file over to the location.

If CompLang.Text = "ru***" Then
CompLang2.Text = "working"

I have 2 group box components and both are same size,font,location and visible is false. When i click button2, the groupbox1 won't appear(the group box2 is on bottom n group box1 is on top).
Example:
button1
groupbox1.visible=false
groupbox2.visible=true
button2
groupbox1.visible=true
groupbox2.visible=false
Because i want to show the different,so the location have a little different(actually both are same location). I think my code is no problem. The problem i guess is both component cannot locate at same location?
we have a user that my program works fine for.. and another that it just crashes for.. they get this error
"You cannot start application <App_Name> from this location because it is already installed from a different location."
then they run it up again and it comes up.. and then just closes..in reading some stuff online it says its a framework 2.0 sp 1 issue ?these pc's have 3.5, but my program uses all 2.0 stuff..so is this a 2.0 sp level issue ? or should I make my programs start to use framework 3.0 instead ?
I was using this old method of creating a bunch of rectangles when I need to get the location of a certain point within a grid so I could draw images on the grid. The thing is, I don't want to use rectangles, I want to be able to just round the location as if I were using rectangles. I need it to be able to round the point (66,70) to (50,50) so if you can imagine a grid and the mouse position being within that square in the grid, I need to get the location of the upper left corner of that square.
View 5 RepliesI have encounterd a problem when trying to re-enstall a program i have writen in vb 2008.I get the following message:"You cannot start application Shell from this location because it is already installed from a different location."This program is to be used on many workstation computers and i need to be able to update any changes by just reinstalling the program, no uninstalling needed first. If the program was installed from a cd first and needs to be updated from a flash disk this error will be a problem, if the update is from a cd as well then there is no problem.Is there a way to change the installation package to ignore where the program installs from and just update itself?
