Bobc11 Posted August 8, 2011 ID:463406 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I cant get this program to work. After 2 reinstalls, it still says "Invalid License. Reinstall Required." What now? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Posted August 8, 2011 ID:463411 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Have you already tried to re-download the installer, and install it from there? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted August 8, 2011 Root Admin ID:463459 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Microsoft offer free installation support with their products. I would recommend you contact Microsoft and have them assist you with any licensing installation issues.I'm guessing this is Visual Basic 2010 Express which this link hopefully should get you to support.

DarkSnakeKobra Posted August 9, 2011 ID:463795 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Make sure that no spaces are present before or after the key otherwise it won't work. You can also get free help from the Microsoft Software Development Network forums. Below is for the express editions setup.http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/Vsexpressinstall/threads Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobc11 Posted August 10, 2011 Author ID:464319 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Also, Can you decompile a vb2010 program, because I lost the source code for one of them Is it possible? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkSnakeKobra Posted August 10, 2011 ID:464352 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Also, Can you decompile a vb2010 program, because I lost the source code for one of them Is it possible?Yep. Take a look at the Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 4 . It includes IL Disassembler and Windows Debugging Tools as well as additional tools like Microsoft FxCop.

Bobc11 Posted August 11, 2011 Author ID:464588 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I am installing it right now, Well downloading at least. It will probably take like 1-2 hours. My internet is slow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkSnakeKobra Posted August 15, 2011 ID:465979 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I'm not sure if it can extract the source code directly, but with IL Disassembler you can identify object names such as buttons, labels, forms etc and strings. This can help in rebuilding the source code. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkSnakeKobra Posted August 16, 2011 ID:466325 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Darn. Any one else know something that you can directly view the code? that's free?I'm pretty sure a tool like that doesn't exist free or paid. If it did we'd hear more about the black market and copyright issues. Another issue is that only the compiler that was used knows how to translate the source code into machine understandable language. You'll need advanced reverse engineering skills to reclaim the source code or hire someone with the skills.Note: Reverse Engineering a product where the EULA prohibits it is against the law. Only do so if it is yours or you have permission from the author. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My pc has it. It was on a flash drive, and the drive went through the washer, and I lost the code, but I still had the program on my pc.If you don't think this conversation should go on, just dont reply.

That was just a warning for others. It requires advanced knowledge to extract the source code. A beginner or average user would probably not be able to do this. I don't think that I'm just saying the source code is probably not going to be recovered unless you have expert programing knowledge and this probably is a lost cause. A suggestion would be to backup your projects regularly. Even if you don't have an external hard drive or a flash drive there's free storage sites like Adrive that you can backup to.

tobor Posted August 17, 2011 ID:466455 Share Posted August 17, 2011 For disassembling .NET projects, I would recommend ILSpy. It's easy to use and very good. You can also try Red Gate's Reflector, but it is no longer free (comes with a trial though). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
