View 4 RepliesI don't know what's got into them but they decided to purchase vs2010 pro licenses in my company. Anyway i gave it a quick look and since i don't need to have it installed right now (service pack 1 first, Microsoft anti-bug law) i uninstalled it. The problem i see is that it leaves leftovers everywhere.C++ redist, ado components, sql r2 components etc. These will not be deleted if i just remove vs2010 but will be installed if i install vs2010 full.Anyway i ended up removing them one by one and it took about 30-45 minutes. So has anyone have done a removal? Is this the case? I cannot remove most of the components with one big uninstall?
View 2 RepliesHave a VB.net application that installs initially from CD and then when the user gets into the internet the application updates. In order to better support problems with this application is has been suggested in the past to uninstall it and do a fresh re-install. However, in investigation it was determined that the uninstall does not consider all installed objects and does not uninstall the CD install.Can the uninstall functionality be modified to catch the other instances of this application and also uninstall them?
View 11 RepliesI'm looking for any references on the best way to perform an unattended uninstall of a product using VB.NET. The product was installed using Windows Installer and the product name is Dell Kace Agent. I would like to perform the uninstall within the VB.NET code.Here's a VBScript that uninstalls a product using WMIC. This could be converted to VB.NET fairly easily, but is there a better way to perform a uninstall within VB.NET code than querying WMIC? I would rather not use WMIC to perform the uninstall maybe get the uninstall string from the registry?
strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
& "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\" _

View 2 RepliesI've taken MS 4994A (Intro to VB.net), and am studying for 4995A (Advanced Intro to VB.net)Previous experience with VB6 and C++ tells me that the way to do it would be to create a program that will accept a list of computer names and check the registry one-by-one (I'm open to suggestions, though, of course). If it finds the program we're wanting to remove, it will remove it, then automagically install .net 2.0 and the .net version of the programs that were just removed.

View 1 RepliesI have an application that contains an MDB. This application has a feature that will allow the user to update the database to a newer version that is on a thumb drive.The database ispart of the application and is not user-updatable, so it seems as though it should live in the Program Files directory with all the other data files (xml, etc.)However, somehow it found its way into the Virtualstore.Now when I go through my process to update the database via the application when I try to run the application is is re-routed to the old mdb in the virtualstore.
But much worse than that, I found out that the virtualstore for the application survives a reinstall Now to my mind this is a huge bug because one would expect when one uninstalls and re-install an application that would have created a "clean slate" and everything would work correctly. But here I have an instance where the user thinks she has installed a fresh copy of the application but in fact is getting corrupted by old junk in the virtual store from a previous install.
Is there a way to remove the border/frame (the Aero bit) of another application's window (say notepad) from a VB.NET program?
