Re: List installed applications Dangleberry21-Sep-03 22:49 Dangleberry 21-Sep-03 22:49  The registry stores the uninstallation information in the key 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Uninstall', I presume you could trawl through the list of sub-keys to get a list of applications that are registered as installed on the system. Other than that I'm not aware of a way of detecting whether a program has been 'installed' or not, without the registry mechanism. Hope this helps. Alan. P.S. note that you'll only get the path to the UNINSTALL.EXE, but I'm sure you can strip the path down to find its root folder for searching. Not all programs keep the uninstall.exe in the actual installation folder, but if you extract the program name and perhaps search for it in the registry you may find it...who knows, it certainly isn't simple Problem in On ERROR Meysam Khayatan17-Sep-03 8:35 Meysam Khayatan 17-Sep-03 8:35  Can i get all error with one function?

Arokh15-Sep-03 13:59 Arokh 15-Sep-03 13:59  I have been searching for days, but I just can't seem to make heads or tails of anything google brings up. Here's my situation, I need a quick and dirty program that can read the contents (string) of a specific memory address of a separately running process. I have it to the point where I can find the window I need via hwnd/findwindow, I can associate the processID, but everytime I dive into readprocessmemory I just can't make it work. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks! PS - VB6, not VB.net -Brian Nelson (Arokh) Re: readprocessmemory to read contents of specific (other process) memory address. Dave Kreskowiak15-Sep-03 16:27 Dave Kreskowiak 15-Sep-03 16:27  The first thing you have to to is make sure that the process handle you get (NOT the same as the processID!) has PROCESS_VM_READ rights. You can do that with a call to GetSecurityInfo. The docs for GetSecurityInfo are here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/security/security/getsecurityinfo.asp[^] RageInTheMachine9532 Internet Transfer Control apjake15-Sep-03 13:55 apjake 15-Sep-03 13:55  I am currently working with the internet transfer control in VB6, but I have a problem. The file I need to get is passworded, but it's not an FTP site, and I know the control has ways of doing usernames and passwords on FTP's, but this is just a regular page with an account name and password. Right here's where I need to get it from: https://www.e-gold.com/acct/historycsv.asp But as you can see, username and password are needed. I haven't the slightest clue as to how to get the username and password in there and push it through to get the file I need. I know it's possible on this site, it's been done before by a programmer with about the same skill as me. But, he doesn't want to share code Any help? Re: Internet Transfer Control apjake15-Sep-03 14:10 apjake 15-Sep-03 14:10  OKay, I randomly just figured that out on my own. New problem::: The values in the file are comma seperated.
