I do a manual install on CC4.3 not the best as an install can take anything up to 2 Hours for the full amount of software.

You can shut down a pc by going to DOS and typing: shutdown /m \\computername /f you could write a batch command and run it in a scheduled task to turn all office machines off at night. Graham

Hi, have you got the latest Window Image on your system? DWN5028976 (32bit) and DWN2852249 (64bit) Are you building Windows 7 or Windows 10 Machines? Are you building 32 bit or 64 bit? We only build Windows 7 64 bit SP1 workstations using the latest WIM Image and also have CC4 Updates on as there are quite a few that sort Service Host Problems.

Yes this could easily be done in VB. You can use a standard Bar code scanner, which acts like a keyboard to put the returned scanned code into a text box/variable and then loged into a database. Regards Graham

I use this with SQL Server: Using conn As New SqlConnection("Data Source=;Initial Catalog=;User ID=sa;Password=") Using comm As New SqlCommand() With comm .Connection = conn .CommandText = "Delete from where " .CommandType = CommandType.Text .Parameters.AddWithValue("@Y", <"Value to look for">) End With Try conn.Open() comm.ExecuteNonQuery() MsgBox("Delete Sucessfull") Catch ex As SqlException MsgBox("ERROR") Finally conn.Close() End Try End Using End Using Just change the items in the < > to suite your needs Get back to me if you need more help. Regards Graham

Mike, I'm going to have to try this. If you format the cards and use the Win32Imagewriter it should work fine. Make sure you have the latest versions. You may want to right click on the software and try Run As Administrator, to see if that has any effect. Have you tried GHOST to create a ghost image and then write it back? Graham

You could just use a standard 240v to 12v PSU like a laptop charger to supply the Power to the Lights. That way your not hacking any Mains Supply! Just make sure it's got enough amperage for what you need.

Got you, I'll have a look as I have a PI at home, but never got to grips with it as I'm a VB.Net/SQL developer and never got my head around Python and never really looked at Scratch. Thanks

Forgive me for my ignorance, but how do you link scratch to the PI, is there a setting in Scratch to download to the PI or do you run Scratch on the PI ? Graham

Yes if you wouldn't mind. We do do Scratch, but have a class set of Arduino's as thats what I started out on. Our IT teacher does python so that might be good.

I've got an idea, link the PI to a microphone and have it turn red/amber/green based on the noise level in the class. I've never used python, but I have used Arduino based on the C++ Language. Would you be willing to share your python script?

Hi I have been looking for a WIN PE 10 network driver for an Intel I217LM Network card for windows 10, without luck. Would you kind people know where I can obtain one from? It's for building a Dell 9020 onto a CC4 Network. Thanks Graham

You need to make sure that your Windows 10 has been Activated with Microsoft. Once this has been done, you can do a fresh install the full copy of windows 10. You can download windows 10 ISO from here: Windows 10 Regards Graham

Hi I think you have to update the database from the record set. I'm not to sure as I do all my VB/SQL programmatically, I never use bound controls, I don't like them, which might be why my application is over 23,000 lines ! Regards Graham

Never had yesterdays, but have just had the new one, and have downloaded. Will let you know how I get on. Thanks again. Graham

Is it done? Had no notifications or emails?

It's am MSI, but from what I remember it trys to install into C:\USERS\JONES.G But I've been Installing it to go into program files as everywhere else is blocked from running software. There is also a text/xml file that has to be altered once installed, to set the proxy server details. Regards Graham

Hi all, Has anybody had any success installing the WJEC Secure Client on RM CC4 Networks. I have tried to build the package as you have to edit the text file with the proxy settings, but it always fails on the Second Scan as it seams to be pulling in all sorts of .net framework stuff, which produces a long enough path as to not to work ! Regards Graham

I've sorted it and it's all working. I didn't realise that running with /PARAMDEF actually produced the XML for you, as I was manually writing it. There was a lot of XML in the file which I removed and just left the variable to pass. My programme now writes out the smaller XML file and runs the same report to get multiple information out. It took a while as it ran the same report 23 times and that's just for year 10, but it's working now thanks. Thanks all for your help.

How very true, I started using VB.net and SQL Server in December 2013 and my project is over 20,000 lines and still growing. But over this time I have developed (coming from Visual Basic 6 and access) and my code has improved greatly. I have written some really dirty code, but it got the job done quick, and yes I will be rewriting some of it to make it smaller and a lot more efficient and faster. Graham

Coming from a Pascal and VisualBasic 6 background, I started to write in VisualBasic.Net and SQL server December 2013 and I love it. Some things are harder, something's are a lot easier, especially using the .Net framework. Help, Google and Stack Overflow have been very useful in my journey, however in a year I have managed to develop 3 projects including a large one that links/uses SIMS and is nearly 20,000 lines of code and there's a lot more code to add.

I've been busy developing software in visual studio that automatically runs sims reports and imports them into my own software's SQL database. This works fine, but now I need to pass a line of text (the name of an aspect) to Command Line Reporter. Example of text is: A8 Computing PRED I have specified in the report ask at runtime, and the variable is: Aspect Name Can anybody help with the XML for this? Mine just does not work. Regards Graham

Hi, could you tell me the actual Key to change please and where it needs redirecting to? Thanks

Thanks for that, I've had a a little read up about Linq and I'm going to get a few books on the subject. I've ordered a few books on ADO.Net and VB.Net 2010 (5 in total) only cost me £15! Used books of course, but when you can get a £50 Book for 1p + p&p off Amazon, well you can't go wrong can you! Thanks again Graham

Sorted, got the script saving as Tab now, so I'm going to run CommandLine Reporter and then your Script for now, until I can get some table information. Thanks Graham
