Visual Basic And McAfee

[bowz]

Hey guys! Looking for some help. New to this whole VB thing and this is what I'm being asked to do.

I need to write a VB App that inserts into an access DB the workstation name, mcafee version, it's engine version, and dat version, or updates the entry if it exists.

Has anyone done anything like this. Any suggestions?!

Thanks for you help!

Hi,

Why don't yu use the GetSetting function of VB? This should work fine.

Hi,

I've been reading up on GetSetting. But kinda new to all of this so it's taking me time to figure it all out.

I'm trying to pull the following information in the Registry:

1) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE - SOFTWARE - MCAFEE - ALERTMANAGER -LOCALCOMPUTERNAME - COMPUTERNAME
2) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE - SOFTWARE - MCAFEE - VIRUSSCAN - SZENGINEVER
3) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE - SOFTWARE - MCAFEE - VIRUSSCAN - SZPRODUCTVER
4) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE - SOFTWARE - MCAFEE - VIRUSSCAN - SZSERIALNUM
5) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE - SOFTWARE - MCAFEE - VIRUSSCAN - SZVIRDEFDATE
6) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE - SOFTWARE - MCAFEE - VIRUSSCAN - SZVIRDEFVER

Not sure how to point GetSetting to the extact value I need to pull. Geez I love this stuff
