Well, that depends on who's maintaining the "best" way :P ------------------------------- Carrier Bags - 21st Century Tumbleweed.

I have managed to open up the Registry sub key root by adding two seperate permissions: RegistrySecurity security = new RegistrySecurity(); //Non Propogated Rule RegistryAccessRule rule = new RegistryAccessRule(LOGON\_USER\_NAME, RegistryRights.FullControl,InheritanceFlags.None, PropagationFlags.None, AccessControlType.Allow); security.AddAccessRule(rule); //Propogated Rule rule = new RegistryAccessRule(LOGON\_USER\_NAME, RegistryRights.FullControl, InheritanceFlags.ContainerInherit | InheritanceFlags.ObjectInherit, PropagationFlags.InheritOnly, AccessControlType.Allow); security.AddAccessRule(rule); This works for the registry, but not for the directory permissions. Any thoughts? Regards Tris ------------------------------- Carrier Bags - 21st Century Tumbleweed.

Ah, i see! Thank you :) ------------------------------- Carrier Bags - 21st Century Tumbleweed.

Ah. Thank you. It's infuriating, i feel i was so close on my own! ^^ ------------------------------- Carrier Bags - 21st Century Tumbleweed.

Hi, In order to modify a projects MSBuild script (In the IDE), it has to be unloaded first, then it can be edited and re-loaded. In order to get around this, I moved my custom MSBuild tasks into a separate .target file so that it would not be necessary to unload the project in order to edit the file in the development environment. However, even with the separate .target file, it still requires that the project be reloaded. This is not a component of the application in development, it is a component of the build process. I've tried cleaning the build but this does not have the desired effect. Regards Tris ------------------------------- Carrier Bags - 21st Century Tumbleweed.

If I'm understanding you right, you are trying to get rid of the dialog that pops up telling the user to uninstall the existing version before installing this version. If thats right, I had a similar problem not to long ago. The solution is simple just increment the version number on your installer and make sure the following properties are set on your Setup project; DetectNewerInstalledVersion = true RemovePreviousVersions = true As far as the removing files that are in the directory, like Jack suggested, if you are installing the files and you want them to remain, flag them as Permanent. If the files are created from your app, such as backups or error logs, when you uninstall the application it will leave those files there by default. If at first you don't succeed ... post it on The Code Project and Pray.

In the AfterInstall event of an Installer class you can get it from here... System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location

You'll be waiting a long time if you don't make a request. I suppose I could make a TimespanTruncate.

[Edit] - Never mind, i didn't realize that WeakReference was a class. I thought it was just the opposite of tight coupling. :P Now... coffee... ------------------------------- Carrier Bags - 21st Century Tumbleweed.

Sorry, by No direct access i meant no refference to the object. It's internal to a class in a 3rd party lib library. I've succeeded in avoiding the issue with a retry loop and Thread.Sleep(). ------------------------------- Carrier Bags - 21st Century Tumbleweed.

Hi Henry, Thanks for the reply, but i've tried overriding the OnDoubleClick and OnNodeDoubleClick and neither of them are called when double clicking a node, except when going from checked to unchecked. I will see if i can make it reproducable and submit a project to MS. Regards Tris ------------------------------- Carrier Bags - 21st Century Tumbleweed.
