Hi all,

I install my program using ClickOnce deployment, the files will be installed in this path:- ( i get from the forum info)
the sub folders of [System Drive]:\Documents and Settings\[User Name]\Local Settings\Apps\2.0

Then, I try to locate mine. I have 3 folder in that path.

1.Data
The exact path : C:\Documents and Settings\newuser\Local Settings\Apps\2.0\Data\DGVPMQ8N.2J0\RV664HZQ.NKD\u-su..tion_2cb43422b8a531ac_0001.0000_f544608b27029c79\Data
Contains my database usurfdb.mdb

2.XYVEQJCM.X4T
contains 3 other folders namely manifests and 2 others weired folders. Here It contains my consent.txt, zafi.ico and again my usurfdb.mdb

3.Z8EWEQ8D.702
In here it contains sc1 folder. the exact path C:\Documents and Settings\newuser\Local Settings\Apps\2.0\Z8EWEQ8D.702\E1QZ0N3Z.7V8\u-su..tion_2cb43422b8a531ac_0001.0000_f544608423892e39

When I run the program, I received an error could not find "C:\Documents and Settings\newuser\Local Settings\Apps\2.0\Z8EWEQ8D.702\E1QZ0N3Z.7V8\u-
su..tion_2cb43422b8a531ac_0001.0000_f544608423892e39\usurfdb.mdb"

I am wondering why an error occurs at this stage? The data folder already have the usurfdb.mdb database.
As a result I my program unable to works after been installed in different computer.

The weired thing all captured image is located now in [B]C drive...[/B] instead sc1 folder as specified

I really need some help on this issues.

By the way I just tried this codes:-

If registeredString Is Nothing OrElse registeredString.ToString = "" Then
            registeredString = "Zafi"
            Registry.SetValue(keyName, "sc1", registeredString)
            Dim applicationFolderPath = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData)
            IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(IO.Path.Combine({applicationFolderPath, "Zafi"}))
          End If

          imagename = Replace(Now.Date, "/", "") & "-" & Int(Now.TimeOfDay.TotalSeconds)
          sc.CaptureScreen.Save("\sc1" & imagename & ".jpg", System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg)

Sc.capturescreen.save = It will call capturescreen module and save the image in folder \sc1. Sadly seems to be not working here

Solution 1

on this line in your new code you need to add either an explicit call to the Drive you want to write to or a [System Drive] reference.
sc.CaptureScreen.Save("\sc1" & imagename & ".jpg", System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg)
I would probably create a variable to hold the location and set that at runtime so that I could change where to hold the files from the registry.

Sure your code here should read

sc.CaptureScreen.Save("c:\\sc1" & imagename & ".jpg", System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg)

I think I don't have a compiler on this machine so I cant test it. I will login late from work and run it through a compiler. Also at work I have the code part to save to the registry and will post that as well if I remember.
