i am not really a programmer, so i have a question on the
system.io.direc tory.exists
what i am trying to do is have a button, once this button is clicked
it checks to see if the Directory exists, if it does it posts a
message saying software already installed. if not i want to launch the
software from a website to install the appplication. here is what i
have so far.
private void button1_Click(o bject sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (System.IO.Dire ctory.Exists(@" c:\Path"))
System.Console. WriteLine("Alre ady Installed");
else
System.Diagnost ics.Process.Sta rt("Program", "web
Location");
}

Hi,
You first have to download the software install file and only then you use
Process.Start

Well, you've given some code - but what's your actual question? And is
this within a web form or WinForms?
Jon
Well, if you want to perform a download, you are going to have to use
the WebClient, or the HttpWebRequest/HttpWebResponse classes in the
System.Net namespace.
However, I would suggest that you look into ClickOnce, as it does pretty
much everything you are looking to have it do already.

This is in a windows form,
what i am trying to get at is, if the directory already exists within
their PC the button does not appear, is the Directory is not there, i
am going to user the Process.start to send then to the download page,
to install the program.

If the button doesn't appear at all, then you can't react to the click
event. It sounds like you need to tell us a bit more of the bigger
picture, and in particular what problems you're having.

>From the Code i posted, nothing happens not even going out to the
website i selected from the process.start event. i do not even get the
message.
this by itself works fine in association to the button------>
System.Diagnost ics.Process.Sta rt("Program", "web Location");
the moment i add the code to check the system directory, i get no
error but i get no response from the button either.
so my objective is to check the system root for a specific set of
folders. if those folders exist then the button should not appear. if
the directory is missing, the button should show up and then take me
to the web address i have suppled.
the reason i have placed the message in the dialog box is cause i
wanted to make sure it was working, before i figured how to only
display the button if the directory is not there.

I suggest you run this in the debugger, and put a breakpoint at the
start of the event handler - then you can see what's going on.

You haven't got a dialog box - you've got output to the console. If you
were expecting a dialog box, that's probably what's wrong.

that is what i though the:
System.Console. WriteLine("Alre ady Installed");
does. meaning i though a pop would be induced from that command. what
would be the command to cause a pop state the response i want.

No, that writes to the system console - which may not be attached to
that anything for that process.

MessageBox.Show .
