VB 2008 - I would like to retrieve the Vista Version my app is running under. I understand the System.Environment.OSVersion.Version.Major/Minor/Build but I have a number of Vista Systems, some x86 and some x64. A mixture of Home/Business/Ultimate. Is there a way to recover more detailed info such as "Vista Ultimate x64 SP1" or do I need to poke around in the Registry?

View 11 RepliesI created an app that connects to an SqlCe database. it runs fine on my computer (xp) but when i try to run it on other computers, it crashes (on xp machine, the error is : OS error: the OS storage system is not responding, on windows 7 the error is: Access to the database file is not allowed).
On windows 7, if i right click the exe and run as administrator, it runs fine. But, i can't expect my users to do this every time they want to run my app.
I am trying to write a Windows Script that will allow me to monitor the following: That 2 x seperate but specific processes within Component Services "Running Processes" list are currently running and have not reset within the past hour. If I already know the PID, then I can retrieve the CreationDate (I assume which I can use to check for restarts? or is this the actual process creation/installation date) for each specific process, however if a restart occurs the PID will change and my script needs to know what the new PID is without me telling it!

View 3 RepliesI have a program for playing MP3 files using Media Player. The program developed originally under Vista using VBExpress 2010 works fine.
But when I run it under Win7 parts of the program don't work. In both cases the audio is played OK but under Win7 the 'playstatechange' events don't seem to happen!?!
I have put a breakpoint in event and under Vista the events happen...under Win7 the breakpoint is never reached. In both cases I am using VB Express 2010 and running under the debugger. I have seen this problem reported before in the forums but no answer was apparent.

I had the error on my computer running Windows XP. I am use to that, so I went in the FrameWork .NET 2.0 and set the security to FullTrust and the error disapeared. Now I have the same error on my computer that is running Windows Vista and when I go do the same security changes to FullTrust, it does not work.

I am writing my first application in VB 2008 Express with .NET Framework versions 2.0, 3.0 and 3.5 installed. When completed, I assume the application will need to check whether it is running under .NET Framework version 3.5 or later. I have not found any properties that I could get which would give me this information about the environment in which the application is running. Is this something that the non-user code in which my application is wrapped by the IDE checks, or is it something that I have to check myself within the application ? If the latter, how would I do that ?

I have an application that will not load unless my local SQL Server is running on an Vista Home Premium machine. This started after a .Net 1 to .Net 4 conversion. I am using a sub main sub that is not being called (msgbox is not fired when entering the app), however, I see the app through taskmgr with increasing memory usage, but then the app is removed from the list. By design, if the program cannot locate a SQL Server a form pops up with a connection box to locate the SQL Server for the app. How it determines if it has a valid connection is the program looks for a connection string in the registry, then attempts to connect to it, however, none of this code executes because of the failure to enter into the sub main.The two machines I have tried the 32 bit app on

For Each service As ServiceController In localServices
If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(service.DisplayName) Then
dictservice(service.DisplayName) = New Service(service.DisplayName, service.ServiceName, service.Status.ToString)

Next

I have a program that has been running well under both Windows XP and Vista. Recently I tried installing the software on a Vista x64 machine and the program keeps crashing at runtime. I have tried running in Windows XP compatability mode and other solutions but nothign works. If I run it on the machine under Virtual PC using Windows XP I have no problems. The only two clues I have are these 1)One of the error messages I got when the program crashed said "missing dll file" and 2) the error log viewer shows that the error involves kernel32.dll This problem feels like it is way out of my league ont face value.
