Would CSIDL_PERSONAL solve your purpose ? Regards, Paresh.

Thanks, this link seems to be helpful! Regards, mav -- Black holes are the places where God divided by 0...

unfortunately, that still leaves the uninstall to be invoked from Add/Remove programs as standard user. I don't think the system uses the uninstallstring in the registry when it also contains keys declaring it as a windows installer package. InstallShield packages don't have the windows installer related keys so I think they use the uninstallstring they way I would like to. I have modified the unintallstring and it still runs the uninstall by running the msi directly without regards to the string I provide. I also aim to prevent the .msi from being doubled clicked on directly when using a second entity to elevate it from the start. If I provide an install CD for the product, I would need to prevent the .msi from being run directly to prevent installation mishaps. This led me to search for a way to spawn the .msi elevated hopefully without that second entity so I could prevent the problems that surround such an approach. Regardless, thanks for the help and idea.

Yes it solved my problem... Actually, vista is installed on D drive which is root directory on my PC. Previously, I use to log on as a user who was not having write/ create file permission on root directory. That is the reason why tmpfile() was returning NULL. The temporary file is created when I log on as an Administrator or a user who has that permission. I gave Permission "Full Control" to User. I solved that my "right clicking on D drive", then "propertise", then going to "Security Tab", then "Advanced", and then "selecting the User" and then "Edit" and giving the appropriate permission. Thanks & Regards, Sameer.

Can you please post a full example IP and the code you are currently using to get the IP? Tom

Vista runs smooth on my 1GB system... :-) (Yes I know, "good for me" :-)) V. I found a living worth working for, but haven't found work worth living for.

Hi, Vista can be 64bit too :) MS's code for getting system version: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms724429.aspx[^] ----------- Mila

The following code will get the IP: IPHostEntry ipEntry = Dns.GetHostByName(strHostName); IPAddress[] addr = ipEntry.AddressList;

by using 'ipconfig /all' from the command prompt, like you always have done. Look for the part that says ipv4

Yes, this is NOT a windows Vista issue really. However, download the current beta of Persistore from us, the lite version is free (but is still beta at this time). Creating true (automatically) persistent variables (and arrays) is almost trivial and incurs far less overhead than other methods of doing this. Regards Hugh PS: The beta 1.1.0.0 does not run on Vista, stay tuned for the next beta due out very soon. However it will work fine on earlier OS (32 or 64 bit).

Maybe disable them would be a better way to put it. I use the Win + n (number 0-9) shortcuts for switching desktops in my VDM software (AltDesk) and want to continue doing so in Vista.
