How can I, in Java or using some other programming language, add a new program group in the applications menu in both KDE and Gnome? I am testing with Ubuntu and Kubuntu 8. Putting a simple .menu file in ~/.config/menus/applications-merged worked in Kubuntu, but the same procedure does nothing in Ubuntu. The content of my file is as f...
I am trying to install Subtext in a medium trust level environment (host: Crystaltech) and am getting the following error (see below). I was able to do the administration setup but when it tries to go to the blog for actual use, boom. I know I could "upgrade" the environment to a full trust level but I want to understand why the error ...

As part of the build process create a instance of the last version of the database (ie currently in production) and compare that to what has been change...

I installed Visual Studio 2008 Standard Edition a month or so ago after a reformat (on Vista64, if that matters). I got it for free from one of those "Heroes Happen Here" launch events. I then installed SQL Server 2008 Express Edition a week or so ago (we're supposed to be getting that for free in the mail but I gave up - a little too e...
I just got a dedicated server from a hosting company, and for some reason, it didn't have IIS installed. It did have .Net 2.0, though. So I installed IIS, but now my ASP.net websites won't work. I just get a 404, no event log entries, nothing... I noticed in the redistributable package information that: "To access the features of ASP.N...

If a PC just installs Windows XP and sp3, Is it possible to design a setup package that can install WPF Application directly on this PC? The situation is like this: I designed a simple WPF Application. And I want to get its setup package. When the cus...
I have looked at a few posts that state the need for Visual Studio 2008 in order to run F#. Is there a simpler tool (maybe in interactive mode such as Ruby/Python) to learn F#? I have the Visual Studio Express edition on my machine. Your suggestions are welcome. Any good links (for a C# developer) to get started are welcome as well. I...
I've just performed a new installation of the very latest (Fall, 2008) version of Fedora 9 Linux and am perplexed that it never set the default route properly and that even traveling the labyrinthine ways of this OS, there's no obvious way. Of course, it's clear that one can do it on a one-off basis like this: route add default gw g...

A similar question was asked here, but was specific to .NET 3.5. Specifically, I'm looking for the following: What is the correct way to determine which .NET Framework versions and service packs are installed? Is there a list of registry keys that can be used? Are there any dependencies between Framework versions? ...
When trying to install Visual Studio 2008 I get the following message straight away: "You must uninstall all pre-release products in a specific order before you can continue with setup." And then it gived me this link on how to do that. I've been working on this problem for quite some time now, uninstalling the components a...
I've done this a million times ... setting up a developer work station. Is there a best practices, or installation checklist for installing Microsoft development software on a work station? What about applying updates and/or service packs? Is there a specific order for doing this, in hopes of minimizing any install issues. Our curre...
I'm writing a web application in Python, intended for use by teachers and pupils in a classroom. It'll run from a hosted website, but I also want people to be able to download a self-contained application they can install locally if they want more performance or they simply won't have an Internet connection available in the classroom. T...

One of the modules for my app uses functions from a .pyd file. There's an option to exclude dlls (exclude_dlls) but is there one for including them? The build process doesn't seem to be copying the .pyd in my module despite copying the rest of the files (.py). I also need to include a .dll. How do I get py2exe to include both .pyd and ....
I am told that SQL Server 2005 installation with BI tools and SQL Server 2008 with BI tools can't work together on the same computer. Apparently "some" things stop working. This was told to me by one of my team members. Since I'm new to SQL BI, I cant discount what he has said altogether and I dont want to install them both on my dev box...
I'm running Fedora 9 x86_64 and am more or less a Linux newbie (not using it, but installing and such). The error occurs in the second stage of the bootstrap (i.e. "./bootstrap_stage2"). It does a whole lot fo stuff and then these errors start happening: Fatal error: exception Out_of_memory make[8]: *** [odoc_html.cmo] Error 2 make[8]: ...
