Setup An Application Process To Run An Executable?
Jul 19, 2010
I am trying to set up an application process to run an executable, which I include in the project's installation directory, and pass it the necessary parameters; however, I am running into issues as it doesn't appear to be doing anything at all.
Here is what I have:
I define the Process As
Private WithEvents conversionProc As New System.Diagnostics.Process
Then I setup the arugments and the process start info as follows:
Dim ogrDirectory As String
i have a problem when i create an executable file of my application created using VisualStudio 2010 and MSAccess 2010. I instal the application and I create a shortcut but when i run the application an error is generated saying that the Data Base file is not found in the same directory of the shortcut (when i create a shortcut in desktop : BD.accdb not found in C:UsersAchrafDesktopBD.accdb or when i run the application from Start-> all programs-> MyApp :BD.accdb not found in C:WindowsSystem32BD.accdb) .
i am trying to open an external executable file during runtime using a process component and the process.start() method. I've been testing out my code with various executable files on my C: drive....some work and some do not work. I've been able to successfully open Adobe Acrobat, Microsoft Excel, and Notepad; however, when I try opening various other executables the following exception gets thrown:
A first chance exception of type 'System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception' occurred in System.dll
I cannot figure out why some programs open just fine while others cause the above exception to be thrown.
I want to launch a java executable (let's call it MyApp.jar) from .Net using System.Diagnostics.Process.Start. What's the syntax in VB.Net? The command line syntax is this (if I recall it correctly - because i tried it a few days ago and it worked).
I am using VS 2008 VB and setup my application software in Win XP without any issue. But after installed in Win 7, it doesn't work well (it show one file not found, but I saw the file in the right folder). Could it be the incompatibility of VS 2008 and Win 7? If I upgrade to VS 2010, will the issue be fixed?
I'm a Visual Basic beginner. There are many things that I didn't know about Windows software development as I've been a Mac user for 20 years and just started developing Windows programs several days ago.
Anyway, using Visual Studio Installer (File > Add > New Project > Visual Studio Installer), I have two files inside the Release folder - setup.exe and Setup.msi. I've got some information about these files. So when you publish your software, what do you do with these two files? According to one web site, you can put them together into one with IExpress, which produces a file with an extension of CAB. Another web site suggests SFX Compiler. In the meantime, I downloaded a dozen applications at Download.com earlier. If I click on the download button, the final delivery extension is .exe on most of them. I know that you won't go anywhere by double-clicking on setup.exe from the Release folder without Setup.msi. Meanwhile, Setup.msi is a tand-alone application. But nobody uses this file alone to distribute their product.
I have an VB executable application(.exe) and I would like to get back sourcecode for my .exe application. Please help me if you have any software to get back source code from VB exe program.
I have a program that outputs a file. I want the user to be able to just double-click the output file and launch the program, just like Word and Excel. In Word for instance, one doesn't necessarily have to open WORD then click on File--> Open and locate another Word doc. He can just go to the folder and open the Word doc. I want to implement the exact scenario in my program.
So far I have tried creating TextFile and added it to the Resources. On FormLoading, I simply I stream-read the Resouce file, but I can't write to the Resource on FormClosing, since the Resource is ReadOnly. Also, the Resource is built & compiled so I suppose you can't add anything to it at run time.How you lunch an output file without launching the Executable program that created it?
I have an executable that I was able to get working on all XP machines by registering all the .dll's associated with it.On Vista, however, I go through the exact same registration process but right when I open the executable it goes to a "WindowsApplication1 has stopped working" dialog. I registered the DLLs in the SysWOW64 folder. I also ran Dependency Walker which came up with IEFrame.dll as flagged, don't know if that is relevant though.
I have an application that has file extensions associated with it. The application has been deployed using ClickOnce. I have checked the associations table to confirm the entry is there and the association is to the 'ClickOnce Application Deployment Support Library'. When the application is triggered using a file with my extension, it does not pass the filename / directory in the CommandLine Arguments, instead you get the executable path of the application.
Which is under ..LocalSettingsApp"Random Strings"MyApp.exe
I have checked the Registry entry to confirm what the extension is set to open with and the application is dfshim.dll. Is there a way to overcome this, or is this just another limitation of ClickOnce deployment?
It appears that the executable application I created can only be run on a computer with .net 4. How can I compile/create the executable to run on a computer with .net 2?
If i have a file ( appres.exe ) in the resources of my VB 2008 Application (myVbApp.exe), how can I start from there? I don't want to save it (appres.exe) somewhere else before start, i want only myVbApp.exe, no more files.
I've built an app that uses the Groupwise (email client) API. It will perform as expected when I hit F5,everything is good, when I use ctrl+F5 it fails with an access violation (see below). I tried to used JIT debugging, but I never get to see the source code, just the assembly. The app *never* fails with this error when run in the IDE.Groupwise documentation is sparse.[code]...
Since I sign my project .exe files with my code signing certificate, I want to check in my application MainForm_Load if the executable is signed and the signature is valid?If not signed or signature has been tampered it must exit the code.
I am looking for a VB.net book that strings me through the entire development process of an application (Prefered: WPF ,LINQ ,ADO). I have read a few books on OOP and VB.net with small code samples demonstrating the specific idea of the chapter.I think it would be really helpful if there was a book that programmed an entire application that uses a sql database (Northwind , Adventureworks).
I'm using Process.Start method to launch another application from my application. Until today, there was no problem. But I have tested my application in a different OS, Windows XP (SP3), and my application didn't work right on that. I'm also using arguments to run that application. I guess for some reason my application couldn't send arguments to other application correctly under Windows XP. Maybe it is related to my code. But you should know, it works great on Windows 7.
I created a small application that uses various things such as .NET GDI Graphics, Text to Speech etc. I want to create a full fledged setup for my application so that the end user would install and start using the application.
I have a VB.NET 3.5 Win Form app that I want to put on a CD and distribute. I don't want the application to install since it is only going to be run a few times ever by a user. So is there a way to just run the application from a CD?
I have a vb.net application which dials another computer and send message to it with the help of cdrvlibnet.dll . I want to deploy this in another computer. I tried following steps.
1. Added a new project with type as deployment project
2. then build the project
3. took the setup.msi to another machine and installed it.
Here are my problems.
1. The icon which created in the desktop and start menu is not running the exe, but pointing to desktop only.
I have packaged a setup msi. When I run the application, it looks for the original setup msi package which causes a problem when it is no longer available on the local workstation. It also restores registry settings packaged with the setup files. How can I stop this dependency on the setup package from occurring?
I Created the setup for my vb.Net appliaction and installed it on the client systems. The application uses MS Access as the database. So i manually added the file to Setup project under its application directory.
I have developed a couple of windows applications in Visual Vasic Express 2008. To my horror, I have just discoved that the Setup Project is not available in the express edition.I have been searching to discover which DLLs I will need to include when using my 3rd party Deployment Application.
I know which ones I need for my 3rd Party Controls, but am stuck on which Microsoft DLLs will be needed the Microsoft Controls I have used, plus any other Common DLLs that are always needed.
I have tried searching Microsoft's site but without success.
