Issue of changing IPAddress programatically in windows vista

1 New Member

My requirement is to change the IP Address of local system programatically using .net.
IP Address should change to 10.1.2.100, subnet mask = 255.255.255.0, default gateway=10.1.2. 1

I have created a small C# Console application in Visual Studio 2005 which change the IP address of the local system. I execute the following batch file using Process.Start(" ipchange1.bat") ;

Content of batch file is:

set path=c:\Windows \System32
netsh interface ip set address name="Local Area Connection" static 10.1.2.100 255.255.255.0 10.1.2.1 1

The above application is not working in Vista. It showed the error message as "The requested operation requires elevation".
To solve this error I added a new file to the project entitled ipApplication.e xe.manifest
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes "?>
<assembly xmlns="urn:sche mas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" manifestVersion ="1.0">
<assemblyIdenti ty version="1.0.0. 0" processorArchit ecture="X86" name="ipApplica tion" type="win32"/>
<trustInfo xmlns="urn:sche mas-microsoft-com:asm.v3">
<security>
<requestedPrivi leges>
<requestedExecu tionLevel level="requireA dministrator"/>
</requestedPrivil eges>
</security>
</trustInfo>
</assembly>

I embeded the manifest into my executable by adding the below code in Project Properties -> Build Events -> Post-build event command line

"$(DevEnvDir).. \..\SDK\v2.0\bi n\mt.exe" -manifest "$(ProjectDir)$ (TargetName).ex e.manifest" –outputresource :"$(TargetDir)$ (TargetFileName )";#1

when I click on the generated exe file in bin/Debug it is working fine, but I need to run this application at the end of the installation of a setup package. I added the exe file in Commit part of Custom Action.

At the end of installation I got an error 2869.

I solved the issue by getting help from this link:
http://hunter555.blogs pot.com/2007/02/installer-error-code-2869-msi-and-uac.html

The program is working fine at the end of installation but, It is changing the IP Address abnormally
The changed IP Address is 169.254.1.234, Subnet Mask=255.255.0. 0, Default Gateway=10.1.2. 1

I don't know how to proceed further can anyone guide me with the above issue or do anyone have an alternate solution??

Need your kind support

Thanks and Regards,
Raja.

Installing service programatically on Vista not working if UAC enabled?

by: JamesB | last post by:

Hi all. I have a Winforms app that installs a service programatically (as opposed to using InstallUtil). If UAC on Vista is disabled, it works fine. Likewise, if the program is started by right-clicking and picking "Run as Administrator" it works (if UAC is enabled), but neither option is ideal. I suppose really I want UAC to pop up it's "do you want to allow this to happen" box when my code does its thing. Can anyone point me in the...

Socket connection issue

I have the following code being used in several of my PHP scripts (it's in an include file). It opens a socket connection to a process that's running on the same computer that IIS/PHP is running on. The OS is Windows XPPro. This all works fine - no problems. $portnum = 1001; $address = $_SERVER; $socket = @fsockopen($address, $portnum, $errno, $errstr, 2);

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

by: Hystou | last post by:

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
