Protect A Process Start From Within Program?

Nov 18, 2010

I've created a small application that basically reads and writes to a single Excel.exe process. It's basically a timer that records the time I use on projects and then store it in an Excel sheet. This works great, however, I've noticed that if I open Excel manually, work on some sheets and whatnot, save and exit etcetc, the process my software use gets broken or something. The same thing that happens if I manually close the excel.exe process and my software doesn't "know".

Detecting If Program Is Installed?

Mar 6, 2012

I currently have a property in my program which returns a true/false depending on if the program is "portable" or not. I need this to know if I should do a certain thing or not.

It checks if it is by checking if the registrykey the installer creates exists, here:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\MyProgram
(And under the Wow node if the OS is 64 bit)

The problem is, I am trying to get rid of the need for admin rights, and this is the last function that needs to be fixed. But I don't have a clue on how.
Why I want this property is because then I don't need two separate versions of my program (like a set property in My.Settings which I set before I build).

The only files that differ using the portable vs the installer is one file, but the reason why I don't want to base the result on the existence of that file is because I want to warn the user if it's not there (if the program is not in Portable mode), so he can reinstall the program.

how I can check if the program is installed by an installer, without using admin

How To Check If Particular Program Is Installed

Feb 26, 2009

I'm using VB.Net 2005 Pro and want to be able to check if a particular program is installed. I've seen lots of ideas about checking files in the program files folder or scanning the registry for keywords but none of these seem particularly foolproof. Is there a way to get a definitive answer to if an app is installed?

However I Can't remember every program that did this but a PC MMO Hunting game Called: The Hunter does this technique.Their entire system is MySQL on a server, and displayed through a website You pick your options on the website and then click "Start" and it opens the installed program from your computer up with the given parameters Quick Example In case i managed to confused you guys.

I have a Program that's just has a text box on it From a website on a server: you can Type in Your username and then click "Start" as an example of a button, which would open up my program explained above with the users name in the text box. i figure there is some type of word for this, but i can't seem to figure it out i looked into web services to see if its what i need, but i couldn't seem to figure out if it was or not.

Check Whether A Program Is Installed And Find The Path?

Jul 26, 2009

I want to make a program which first of all check whether a serie of programs is installed, if a program is installed I would like to find the installation path, so I will be able to work with it further..My first though was to check in the registry, there is theinstallation path also mentioned right?Another possible way was to search all the harddrives for a specific .exe fil. If then the file is found, the program is installed, and you should be able to find the path to the found .exe file. This is more "secure", right? - Because not all program is registred in the registry right? (E.g. if you move it from another location, and doesn't install it).

Creating A Program That Once Installed Was A Windows Toolbar ?

Nov 6, 2011

I'm wondering how I would go about creating a program that once installed was a windows toolbar. What I'm trying to do is similar to the clipboard, but I want to customize it to my own style. I work in a data entry job and many of the bills we enter have similar information that I'd like to be able to enter without repeated typing. I'd like the toolbar to be docked to the top of the screen, and have several buttons on it. Clicking a button, while having a focus in my data entry program, would paste the button's text (or the full text of what the button caption represented) into the selected field. Alternately, if focus between multiple applications is too difficult to try, then clicking the button would highlight the text and copy it to the windows clipboard, so I could then click back into my data entry program and hit ctrl-v. I dont need help on the program itself...just on how to make it as a windows toolbar, if possible.

Unable To Load DLL On Computers With Do Not Have Program Installed

Dec 13, 2007

I created a program using visual basic. For some functions the program accesses a dll which was created using visual c++. When the program is run on a computer that does not have visual studio installed, functions which make calls to the dll generate an error: Unable to load DLL 'filename.dll': This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800736B1).Reinstalling the application does not help, and when the program is run on a computer that does have visual studio installed, calls to the dll work as expected without generating any type of error.Is there some component that is installed with Visual Studio that I need to attach to my program installation? Is there some way I can create or access the dll such that it does not need this component?

VB Program Doesn't Have Access To Its Own Application Directory When Installed?

Nov 7, 2011

I have a VB project that I created a simple setup project to deploy. It installs fine except for one problem. It crashes because it can't read its own application directory. Included with the program are an xml and schema file that it needs to read when starting.dditionally it may create a log file, also in its application directory. Either of these will return errors under the default install. This was not an issue when running the program in VS and if modify the program to work with another directly like C:Temp. I have a workaround in which I change the permissions of Users group to Full Control for the application directory
