I bought a personal dev box which I will use for deploying stuff I create on my laptop. I thought it would be a good idea to use Git for code management. The idea was that I will keep committing on my laptop and when needed, will push the changes to the remote dev box. I initialized a Git repo on the box and cloned it on my laptop. ...

When I try to build my setup project, I get the following error: "An error occurred while validating. HRESULT = '80004005'" (And Microsoft wins an award to clarity.)

I needed to install Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 for my dev work. I found that it does not install most of the dev tools/packages by default. What are the essential dev tools one needs? I don't mind installing them all for the sake of not wanting to have build failure later on for some third part package. Also any documentation where I can get ...

Hello anyone! There are commercial cross-platform install tools out there and i think that they are really useful because you "compose" your setup once and the setup tool compiles it for the target platforms you want it to work for. Unfortunately, such tools are expensive for a shareware author like me - they cost thousands of dollar...
I can't seem to update my configuration file in c:\ProgramData\appname\config.ini. I keep getting an access denied error.

Funny thing is that I have other programs I've written that share the same code but don't have this prob...

Our application is .NET 3.5 deployed via ClickOnce. We just upgrade to .NET 4.0 and updated the pre-requisities appropriately.

However, users who already have the application insta...
