I'm trying to get information about the programs installed on remote devices. At the moment, I found a way to output all installed programs. Is there a way to get the version and date of installation?
List<string> programs = new List<string>();
ConnectionOptions connectionOptions = new ConnectionOptions();
connectionOptions.Username = "USERNAME";
connectionOptions.Password = "USERPASS";
//connectionOptions.Impersonation = ImpersonationLevel.Impersonate;
string devicename = textBox8.Text;
ManagementScope scope = new ManagementScope("\\\\" + devicename + "\\root\\CIMV2", connectionOptions);
scope.Connect();
string softwareRegLoc = #"Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall";
ManagementClass registry = new ManagementClass(scope, new ManagementPath("StdRegProv"), null);
ManagementBaseObject inParams = registry.GetMethodParameters("EnumKey");
inParams["hDefKey"] = 0x80000002;//HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
inParams["sSubKeyName"] = softwareRegLoc;
// Read Registry Key Names
ManagementBaseObject outParams = registry.InvokeMethod("EnumKey", inParams, null);
string[] programGuids = outParams["sNames"] as string[];
foreach (string subKeyName in programGuids)
{
inParams = registry.GetMethodParameters("GetStringValue");
inParams["hDefKey"] = 0x80000002;//HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
inParams["sSubKeyName"] = softwareRegLoc + #"\" + subKeyName;
inParams["sValueName"] = "DisplayName";
// Read Registry Value
outParams = registry.InvokeMethod("GetStringValue", inParams, null);
if (outParams.Properties["sValue"].Value != null)
{
string softwareName = outParams.Properties["sValue"].Value.ToString();
programs.Add(softwareName);
}
}
foreach (string softwareName in programs)
{
int n = dataGridView8.Rows.Add();
dataGridView8.Rows[n].DefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.LightGreen;
dataGridView8.Rows[n].Cells[0].Value = devicename;
dataGridView8.Rows[n].Cells[1].Value = softwareName;
dataGridView8.FirstDisplayedScrollingRowIndex = dataGridView8.RowCount - 1;
}
}
catch
{
MessageBox.Show("Something went wrong");
}

Welcome to Stack Overflow. Use ORMi library to get that information easily:
1) Install via NuGet:
Install-Package ORMi
2) Use the library:
using ORMi;
3) Instanciate and use:
WMIHelper helper = new WMIHelper("root\CimV2");
var programs = helper.Query("SELECT Name, Version, InstallDate FROM Win32_Product").ToList();
foreach(var p in programs)
{
Console.WriteLine(p.Name);
}
And that´s it. Then if you want to do some more advanced working you can define your model classes and query in a simpler way. You can read the docs on GitHub.
I use this following code to remove the write protection folder so that I can delete that. But It won't work.
File.SetAttributes(#"F:\File", FileAttributes.Normal);
File.Delete(#"F:\File");
How can I remove the write protection?
If I can remove file protection from the disk, so give some codes to do that.
Any help will be appreciated
Thanks in advance
There is a difference between Folder and File. With this you will remove the readonly atribute and delete the folder.
var di = new DirectoryInfo(#"F:\File");
di.Attributes &= ~FileAttributes.ReadOnly;
di.Delete(true);
EDIT:
Formating USB drive. You can read the article.
public static bool FormatDrive(string driveLetter,
string fileSystem = "NTFS", bool quickFormat=true,
int clusterSize = 8192, string label = "", bool enableCompression = false )
{
if (driveLetter.Length != 2 || driveLetter[1] != ':'|| !char.IsLetter(driveLetter[0]))
return false;
//query and format given drive
ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher
(#"select * from Win32_Volume WHERE DriveLetter = '" + driveLetter + "'");
foreach (ManagementObject vi in searcher.Get())
{
vi.InvokeMethod("Format", new object[]
{ fileSystem, quickFormat,clusterSize, label, enableCompression });
}
return true;
}
You should put the driveLetter like this: "F:"
I want to create and delete a file on a remote machine of which i have admin username and password.
I am using this code
ConnectionOptions options = new ConnectionOptions();
options.Username = "admin";
options.Password = "12345";
ManagementScope scope = null;
ObjectQuery query = null;
ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = null;
try
{
scope = new ManagementScope(#"\\192.168.3.125\root\CIMV2", options);
scope.Connect();
query = new ObjectQuery(#"SELECT * FROM CIM_Datafile WHERE name = 'c:\\c$\\Testing\\Test.txt'");
searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher(scope, query); // EDIT forgot to include 'scope' previously
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
return;
}
foreach(ManagementObject mo in searcher.Get())
{
uint returnCode = (uint)mo.InvokeMethod("Delete", null);
if (returnCode == 0)
Console.WriteLine("File was successfully deleted");
else
Console.WriteLine("Deletion failed due to return code " + returnCode);
}
But it is giving me invalid query error and also i want to know how to Create a file on Remote machine.
and i even cant access the path \\192.168.3.125\C$\Testing\Test.txt
My file location is c:\Testing\Test.txt
Firstly can you access the file via the windows explorer from the machine (start -> run -> \192.168.3.125\C$\Testing\Test.txt)
If so what's wrong with
File.Delete(#"\\192.168.3.125\C$\Testing\Test.txt");
In my case, when I was connecting two windows based computers, you could just put:
#"\\PC-NAME\NEXT-FOLDER\NEXT-FOLDER\test.txt"
I trying to get info about HW from notebooks. I do this via WMI, but not always there contains the info about notebook model for example. It depends on the manufacturer, SONY never contains HW info in WMI.
FileStream fs = new FileStream(#"C:\log.txt", FileMode.OpenOrCreate);
StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(fs);

Where can I get this info?
Thanks!
You could try getting this information from the BIOS information, which is stored in the registry under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DESCRIPTION\System\BIOS. It should be in the SystemProductName or SystemVersion value.
Model and serial number contain in the "Win32_ComputerSystemProduct".
I'm trying to get a list of all shared folders available on a local intranet server.
The System.IO.Directory.GetDirectories() works fine for a path like \\myServer\myShare, however I'm getting an exception for a path like \\myServer:
Unhandled Exception: System.ArgumentException: The UNC path should be of the form \server\share.
Is there a way to get a list all shared folders for a server? Ultimately I'm looking for a method that can handle both scenarios based on a given path - returning a list of all shares for a given server and returning a list of all subdirectories for a given network shared folder.
Here's a technique that uses System.Management (add a reference to this assembly):
using (ManagementClass shares = new ManagementClass(#"\\NameOfTheRemoteComputer\root\cimv2", "Win32_Share", new ObjectGetOptions())) {
foreach (ManagementObject share in shares.GetInstances()) {
Console.WriteLine(share["Name"]);
}
}
Appropriate permissions are required.
