Write VB Script That Will Work On Any Version Of Windows
Apr 25, 2011
What I need to do is write VB scripts that will work on any version of Windows, right back to 3.1. I may need to write several files for different Windows versions, I just don't know.
[Code]
This runs on Windows Server 2003 and XP. I've tested it on those systems. But will that run on Windows 7, Vista, 98, 95, NT, 3.1? If not, which language/version do I need to use to do the same job on each system, and could you point me to the language reference?

I create a new Windows Forms application and add an AboutBox form which is built-in into Visual Studio. I add a button to Form1 to show the AboutBox when clicked.The AboutBox form has a label with the text "Version" on it. The following code is supposed to add the application's version to that label at run-time:
Me.LabelVersion.Text = String.Format("Version {0}", My.Application.Info.Version.ToString)When the application version is changed in the Publish tab of the My Project form to 2-0-3-6, the version on the AboutBox at run-time stays at 1.0.0.0 (of course after rebuilding).
Even when the application is published to the desktop, it still does not work. It does, however, reflect the correct version number in the title of a subfolder in the Applications folder that is created when the application is published.

I've been using a piece of code I found that reads in joystick movement into my VB application using DirectInput. Building an executable works great, the program operates as should be, however when I publish my program for final deployment, I get the following error:
"WindowsApplication has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
Here's some of the error details:
EventType : clr20r3 P1 : windowsapplication.exe P2 : 1.0.0.0
P3 : 4c0f1ae6 P4 : microsoft.visualbasic P5 : 10.0.0.0 P6 : 4ba2183b
P7 : 88 P8 : 8 P9 : system.io.fileloadexception
And then a second error pops up shortly after:
AppName: windowsapplication.exe AppVer: 1.0.0.0 AppStamp:4c0f1ae6
ModName: kernel32.dll ModVer: 5.1.2600.5781 ModStamp:49c4f482
fDebug: 0 Offset: 00012afb
The errors only occur once I try installing the program and just before the application loads.Here's the code for the program:
Imports System
Imports System.Windows.Forms
Imports Microsoft.DirectX.DirectInput
Imports Microsoft.DirectX

How they relate and differ from each? What are the best practices for version control? Is there a primer about publish online? Or a good book?
And is it possible to make ClickOnce and a msi in one solution of VS 2008? If so, is there any conflict or pitfall?
BTW I am using VB if that makes any difference.

I have developed a VB 2010 express application that works on my windows 7 machine, but when I deploy it to other windows 7 machines the application will not run at all. I created an msi script to install the software on other machines and it includes the .NET 4.0 framework an all of my application dll's and such. Any idea what might be he problem?

I have an installation of VS2010 with Windows 7 at work and a laptop with Windows 7 X64. I transferred a whole set of project files to the laptop but the directory "Documents" does not exist on the laptop - it is called "My Documents". As such of course I get errors when loading the project on the X64 machine as the resource files cannot be found. I have tried changing the name of the directory to "Documents" to accord with the other PC, and this was apparetnly successful. But, VS still does not "see" the files in the renamed directory. How can I simply change the path name for the resource files so that VS can see these files?

I changed my VB2008 Express development system from Windows XP to Windows 7.After installing Windows 7 I installed VS2010 with VB2010 Express.Tried that and had issues so I installed VS2008 with VB2008 Express.The application I was developing with VB2008 on my XP system will compile and run in the debug environment with VB2008 on Windows 7 but the Release build (double clicking the .exe in the Release directory) will not. An information box pops up stating the application stopped working. No application Form ever showed up on the screen. I can run a simple application I start from scratch on this new setup.The release .exe compiled on my old XP system fails in the same way.What could be the problem? The application of interest uses an SQL Server CE database. A reference forSystem.Data.SqlServerCe is included in the References. What could be different about running in the debug environment vs running the

I've decided to go with a Windows Installer (Setup Project) in VS Prof, rather than ClickOnce,I've added this project to my main project, and have right clicked and selected 'View -> Launch Conditions', it requires the .netframework 3.5.21022...
But I've created the installer project for .NET 2.0 framework, is this going to stop someone from installing the project without .NET framework 3/3.5?EDIT: I've found under the properties of that installer project, that .NET framework 3.5 and Windows Installer 3.1 was selected as a prerequisite, unchecked those, and checked .NET Framework 2.0, however the version under the launch condition .NET Framework is still 3.5, it should be 2.0

When you look in the "software" that you have installed you see the size of the software and the version. After I have installed my software I don't see the version in the list. Only the size of the installation. I was wondering how I can change that. Could it be that it is because I used InnoSetup and I need to set it in there or is Windows reading the version of the .exe itself?
