VS 2005 Windows Server 2008 Compatibility?
Feb 23, 2010I have a VB.NET executable program that I've been running nightly as a Windows Scheduled Task on a Windows Server 2003 machine. I have the source code, and it was compiled using VS 2005. Now I want to run it on a Windows Server 2008 R2 machine. If I try to "open" it from Windows Explorer, I get "The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you are running." It is in Program Files(x86), so doesn't the OS know to run it as a 32-bit application? Do I have to load this in VS2008 and recompile it there as a 64-bit app? But all my old VB6 and VBScript scheduled tasks are running fine, why is the OS only complaining about this program?
View 1 RepliesVS 2005 Piracy Protection Mechanism And Windows Vista Or Windows 7
Apr 19, 2010i have created some shareware applications. I implemented the following mechanism for piracy protection. Before Windows Vista and Windows 7 i did write a dll file to the System32 folder with an encrypted license key. Also in the Registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE i inserted a registry key.
The problem is that with Windows Vista and Windows 7 due to the User Account Control (UAC) this is denied.
I want to ask : what other mechanism can be implemented ? Where should i store the encrypted key file and the registry key.
I want that the application can be installed for all users of a computer only once.
If i stored the key in the user's application data directory then another user could easily just install it under another user account. Also i do not want to put the key file in the application directory because that would be too obvious.
note that i create the registry key with my application and not with the installer.

Why Windows Vista Changed Arabic Program
Mar 18, 2010I had every one of these words in arabic transcribed on a dictionary I made with visual basic. There was never a problem until I started using window vista. I had xp. You can see that the words arabic script is incorrect. Somehow the first and last position of the two symbols are reversed...How did this happen. My Arabic Dictionary was completed 3 years ago. I have never had a problem before with this program. Now I will have to do the entire program over agian. From scratch....

View 2 RepliesVB Compatibility With Windows 7 64 Bit
May 17, 2010I have a small application I wrote in VB with visual studio express. This app uses a timer tick to wait for a certin time, the opens several comm ports, reads data, creates an output string, an sends the string via email. I tested this app for several days
on a windows 7 32 bit machine, with no problems. I compiled (published) the program, and am attempting to run it on a windows 7 64 bit machine. However, on the 64 bit machine, it freezes up and can only be stopped with Task Manager.
at the time the app hangs the only things going on are 1. a timer checking to see if it's time to read the comm ports. and 2. a background thread checkig to see if the internet is available to email the string.
I tried ;loading visual studio on the 64 bit machine, and compiling the app there, with the same result. However it seems to run (tested for 1 hour) in debug on the 64 bit machine.
Has anyone noticed anything like this? any ideas?
Debugging Difference Between Windows Vista And Windows 7
Jul 2, 2010I develop applications in Visual Basic.NET (Visual Studio 2005) for a long time on Windows Vista without problem.
Now, I'm changing my laptop, and the new has installed the Windows 7. So, I reinstalled VS 2005, taking care to install the Vista compatibility. Thus, the version of my current VS 2005 is 8.0.50727.867 (vsvista.050727-8600) SP2. And that is my problem.
When I ran the application in debug mode (F5) on Windows Vista, a windows appeared whenever there was an error, like below:
Now, on Windows 7, the application just shows a exception message in the Immediate Windows, don't showing any error window, continuing the application execution, as below:

View 1 RepliesVS 2008 Aero In Windows Vista?
Jul 20, 2011how to get working aero in Visual Basic 2008.I am making this media player and got everything I need for that. But what I really wanted is aero since Windows Vista got a nice interface and a few lucky people got it.But the tutorials I got worked great on Windows 7! However, I couldn't get aero because of a transparency key. (I swear I use a color picker to see if background color and transparency key are the same color.)I can't get it to work any piece of code I give.But the good part is that aero WILL work on any 7 or Vista without any form change, but the text is white with blue specks and that is not what I want.
EDIT:i found how to do it now! you need to use the property UseCompatibleTextRendring and put it to True. Now the problem is how do i do the same for the rest? (microsoft was to lazy to edit the controls)

The .exe runs fine on the Windows 7 computer, but will no longer work on an XP machine. In my facility most of my users are still on XP machines. An additional note, if I move the .frms back to the XP machine, they compile fine and the .EXE works fine on the XP machines.Now I using virtual machine It's working ok but its not the best Solution. is there any direct way to make the .exe of Windows 7 works will on XP machines.
View 3 RepliesAudio Volume Controls Windows Vista/7 VB 2008
Sep 3, 2009So I'm a bit new to the whole Vista/7 audio setup. My understanding is that a new "mixer" is created for each application. Is there some new .Net function which interfaces with these mixers? I'm actually trying to create an application which can adjust the MAIN system volume level as well as the mute function.
I was looking at the Endpointvolume API however I cant get it to work for me :(. Does anyone have a vb.net demo of how to harness this API?
VB 2008.express + Windows.Vista = Disaster * Totalfailure
Feb 27, 2009Durring game play of a game I am designing, I recieve a lovely crashing event in which my computer tells me that "vshost" has stopped working. Also, i get a message after debuging that tells me the problem is due to a compatability error between my version of windows and the version of C++ that is running.
I was not aware C++ was running. Can anyone offer any explanation for this? I will gladly share the code and the game with anyone interested. So far both computers that I have attempted to play the game on ultimately ends in a crashing vshost or windowsapplication1 but the second computer was able to run the game smoothly for much longer.
If anyone wants to try the game on your own system I will e-mail it to you, (small file) 4.7 mb
I'm curious to know if it will crash on every computer.

Jul 9, 2010First forms project. My textbook [wrox VB 2880 Programmer's Reference, Rod Stephens] gives snippet that starts with [which intnellisense completes, except for variable names, including trailing 'paint' which seems to be the problem]

'Public Event Paint(sender As Object,
