Hello once again folks. As I implemented flash objects to my project now it requires the ocx. I am trying to deliver it automatically to save the end user the troubles of downloading it manually and eventually putting it on the wrong place. Here's what I'm trying to accomplish:
Am I at least going on the right direction with this?
Error given:
System.InvalidCastException: Conversion from string "C:\Windows" to type 'Double' is not valid. ---> System.FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format.
at Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices.Conversions.ParseDouble(String Value, NumberFormatInfo NumberFormat)
at Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices.Conversions.ToDouble(String Value, NumberFormatInfo NumberFormat)
Using the fullpath gives me
System.Net.WebException: An exception occurred during a WebClient request. ---> System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\Flash32_11_5_502_146.ocx' is denied.
The program is being run as administrator.
I guess I will keep doing it the old manual way until I find solution.
Cheers
-George.
