I'm currently trying to write a Windows Media Center Application (Vista) that can restart a service with UAC enabled. Everything works fine when UAC is disabled but as soon as UAC is enabled I get an Access is Denied error.
I believe this is because the Window Media Center applications are running under the Windows Media Center process and as such would need to be started as Administrator for this to work. Does anyone know how I might achieve this with UAC enabled?
Check this out. Sounds like you'll need to flag the process to ask UAC for permission to continue:

You can mark your process as needing to be elevated by adding
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">
<assemblyIdentity version="1.0.0.0" name="CheckForceElevation" type="win32"/>
<trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
<security>
<requestedPrivileges>
<requestedExecutionLevel level="requireAdministrator"/>
</requestedPrivileges>
</security>
</trustInfo>
</assembly>
To the manifest.

I have .NET Core 3.1 API which is deployed in Azure web application service. I had trouble running the application in Azure because of the error 500.37 ANCM Failed to Start Within Startup Time Limit. I managed to solve this issue by increasing startupTimeLimit in web.config (as you can see below).
But Now, when I'm running 2 instances in Azure web app service. One of the instances works just fine but the other one still has the same error.
Any ideas on how How to set startupTimeLimit for multiple instances in IIS?
web.config
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<!-- To customize the asp.net core module uncomment and edit the following section.
For more info see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=838655 -->
<system.webServer>
<httpProtocol>
<customHeaders>
<remove name="X-Powered-By" />
</customHeaders>
</httpProtocol>
<handlers>
<add name="aspNetCore" path="*" verb="*" modules="AspNetCoreModuleV2" resourceType="Unspecified" />
</handlers>
<aspNetCore processPath="dotnet" arguments=".\Clients.Api.dll" stdoutLogEnabled="false" stdoutLogFile=".\logs\stdout" startupTimeLimit="180" hostingModel="inprocess" >
</aspNetCore>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
Edit:
I used azure web app Scale out (App Service plan) to increase the running instance to 2.
We solved this solution by increasing the startupTimeLimit to 300
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration xmlns:xdt="http://schemas.microsoft.com/XML-Document-Transform">
<location>
<system.webServer>
<aspNetCore xdt:Transform="SetAttributes(startupTimeLimit)" startupTimeLimit="300">
</aspNetCore>
</system.webServer>
</location>
</configuration>
Finally I was able to fix this error.
It is a configuration error (.net core configuration). Azure App Services need an additional configuration of the project when it is in .net core 3.1.
The solution is:
In project file (asp.net or web api project) (*.proj) you have to place the following line just below TargetFramework:
<AspNetCoreHostingModel>OutOfProcess</AspNetCoreHostingModel>
Final *.proj file would be something like this :
<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web"> <PropertyGroup>
<TargetFramework>netcoreapp3.1</TargetFramework>
<AspNetCoreHostingModel>OutOfProcess</AspNetCoreHostingModel>
<UserSecretsId>my-secrets-go-here</UserSecretsId>
<Version>1.1.0.0</Version>
<Authors>me</Authors>
<Company>TheCompany</Company>
<Platforms>AnyCPU;x64</Platforms>
</PropertyGroup>
...
</Project>
And that's it. After adding those changes and uploading a new version on your Azure App Service the application is going to be executed without errors (unless there's something else related to your code).
I was able to replicate this error by executing my project directly on IIS from my local, when you do that VS opens the web browser but the web page is never loaded.
Started getting this error when running my .net core 3.1 application on production. The error occurs immediately after updating the application. However, for me, running iisreset on cmd was enough to solve the error.
if application work perfect on development machine and this error exist on your production server that is not connected to internet
check event log and find if you have any error like this:
Failed extract of third-party root list from auto update cab at

I am building a windows installer for my .NET application and it looks like InstallShield (2012 Spring - Premier Edition) is adding Windows Common-Controls manifest to my icons converting them to DLLs.
This is hitting my application's performance as OS encounters a page fault as it tries to parse the icon image on launch.
Here is the manifest that IS is appending.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<assembly xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion="1.0">
<assemblyIdentity
version="1.0.0.0"

/>

name="Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls"
version="6.0.0.0"

</dependentAssembly>
</dependency>

</trustInfo>
</assembly>
First a short digression into why this is happening. The Icon table, where Icons need to be stored to support Windows Installer advertisement, requires that "Icon files that are associated with shortcuts must be in the EXE binary format and must be named such that their extension matches the extension of the target". Thus InstallShield builds the correct format file. And by "build" I really mean it stuffs the icon data in a resource on a template EXE file.
So what's the upshot? You can change the resulting manifest by editing the template. The template is stored in ...\Support\_IsIcoRes.exe, and if you open that in Visual Studio or another resource editor, you can examine or even edit the manifest in RT_MANIFEST (24) \ 1. This file isn't signed (yet) because the build process will have to modify it, and thus would invalidate any signature, so your edits should be safe. That said, keep a backup of the original in case things go awry.

I'm building a small project that contains is a custom HTTP handler where an user can request a XML file and the project will generate the file and send it to the user. It should be flexible enough to send something else too like e.g. json.
Everything was going well until I had to deploy the handler. I've created a library (dll) file which contains the logic for serving of the requested information. I've open IIS manager and I've created a virtual directory to the debug bin file (later on i made it an application. it did not make a difference).
I've followed countless examples and tutorials like these ones:
I started with this one: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308001
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb515343.aspx
msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/46c5ddfy.aspx
But with no luck. As you could have read I'm not using any asp.net website even though I do have a web.config that I've added to the bin folder and it looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<httpErrors errorMode="Detailed" />
<asp scriptErrorSentToBrowser="true" />
<directoryBrowse enabled="false" />
<handlers accessPolicy="Read, Script, Execute">
<add name="LigoManagedHandler" path="*" verb="*" type="Ligo.Service, Ligo" resourceType="Unspecified" preCondition="integratedMode" />
</handlers>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
When I try to run handler in the browser get the following error:
Could not load file or assembly 'Ligo' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
Exception Details: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Ligo' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
I have tried so many possible combination in IIS manager to get it working ('httphandlers', 'classic mode' and so on ...) but i'm truly stuck. The information I've found on the internet is not helping much.
What am I doing wrong or missing to make it work?
Something in this rant triggered an idea, an I stumbled on the answer.
The line in all those tutorials that say put type="ClassName, AssemblyName" into the Handlers section in Web.Config are plain WRONG.
All I did was change this to type="AssemblyName.ClassName" and everything started working, in both a Web Site Project and a Web Application Project that I had created.
I'm running IIS 7.5 in integrated mode so YMMV.

I figure it out. I had to make a asp.net website project and add my dll as reference to this project.
I read this thread that provided this information which is not clear on the internet.
http://forums.asp.net/t/1088861.aspx/1?What+causes+the+quot+Could+not+load+type+quot+problem+
It should state that it is not possible to make the httphandler without a aspnet website project. or am i mistaken? the example on the internet are incorrect! or provide too little information.
I know, this is an old thread. However, I've been looking for an answer for a few days without finding a clear one. So, in case anyone comes across similar scenario.
You can create custom Http Handler as a stand-alone Class Library project and use it in IIS.
On IIS Add new Application with ASP4 Integrated mode. Place your compiled DLL into bin folder (this is what i was missing all along). Seems obvious that it should be there; took some time to figure this out. :)
web.config:
<configuration>
<system.web>
<compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.0" />
</system.web>
<system.webServer>
<handlers>
<add verb="*" path="*.ogg" name="test" type="Namespace.Classname"/>
</handlers>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
Hope this helps.
Cheers.
I have an old C++/MFC app written with VS 6. I am trying to make it compliant with Windows Vista and 7 by moving the DB directory to the Common Application Data area. But when I try to open the Access DB using DAO it reads the primary table, finds no records, and reports that no data is found. However, if I select "Run as Admin", then I can access it without an issue.
Should I be storing the database in another location? If not, why does it fail to read the table correctly?
Also, I have tried using the manifest listed below, that I found online, but it does not seem to force the application to run as admin and so I still get the no data found message. But I don't know much about manifests yet, so it could be that I didn't configure it correctly.
Thanks for any help or advise you can give.

Here is the manifest I used to ensure my custom-written installer ran as an administrator. In addition to this manifest, I also digitally signed the application with a Verisign certificate.

I'm having an issue with CruiseControl.net where the web dashboard just won't work in IIS. I have tried switching ASP.Net between 64 and 32 bit modes and reinstalling cruise control, but nothing seems to work. Has anyone else had issues with CruiseControl.Net on 64 bit platforms?
Cheers,

[Edit]
Thought I should clarify, I am getting a 404 error when I try access the website. I am using the correct address because it asks for authentication. The .aspx handler is working because I don't see the default.aspx page from the ccnet directory.

I am using the default web.config that comes with ccnet, but here it is:

It seems I needed to enable Web Service Extensions for ASP.Net. I'm still not getting an ASP.Net tab in the cruise control website properties, but it is working.
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727> or C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727> for 64 bit
Type aspnet_regiis.exe – i
ASP.NET will register itself and show up in Web Service Extensions
Clarify a bit, does the web-dashboard function incorrectly? Does it not show up at all?
The webdashboard uses Nvelocity, not ASP.NET WebForms, so you have to register a custom HTTPHandler in the Web.config for it to work.
<add verb="*" path="*.aspx" type="ThoughtWorks.CruiseControl.WebDashboard.MVC.ASPNET.HttpHandler,ThoughtWorks.CruiseControl.WebDashboard"/>
Post up your web.config.
Since you just want to know whether it works... it does.
I'm running it on a 64-bit Windows Server 2008 without a problem.
So now we've established it works, perhaps you can describe your issue in more detail?
Could not comment, I wanted to add this to the aswer to Adam:
I had to use this command in CMD for Win2008 x64
