Does anyone know the MSDN licensing rules around upgrade from visual studio 2008 to visual studio 2010 if I were to buy VS 2008 now? I will not be able to get budget for the 2010 one too, but I have heard there are software assurances in place if you have MSDN subscriptions. I will not be able to get an MSDN subscription, so is there ...

I have a Windows server 2008 with SQL 2008 and TFS 2008 installed. And I have another box with SQL 2005 and TFS 2005 installed. Does anyone know of a way I can just transfer the databases (or data in another way) from TFS 2005 to TFS 2008. Any data on the 2008 box can be deleted. The machines are not in a domain so all accounts are loc...

I have the files upgrading and adding that the newer version should be but I'm left with 2 instances of the Program in the Add/Remove program screen. Below is an example of how I am trying to remove everyt...
If you have a Winforms app that is installed on a large number of machines, is there a standard way of implementing an automatic upgrade function? e.g. Each time it is started, it checks a web site or web service and if there is a new version available, it downloads and installs it? I could figure out how to roll my own version of this...
Say I make an .exe file and everything is peachy. Wonderful it works. Say I worked on a new feature on the software and I want it to be available for people who already have the older version, how can I make the software find my new version, patch it, and then go about it's business. I can't seem to wrap my head around the issue. Than...
Although I am using drupal since the D4 series, I only started developing professionally for it with D6, so - despite I did various site upgrades - I was never faced by the task of having to port my own code to a new version. I know the Drupal community will come up with lot of technical support about changed API's and architectural cha...
I’ve been working on a few small scale Access projects that have turned large scale rather quickly. The original designer implemented next to zero security and everyone can just walk in with a simple shift enter, way beyond just a security hole for nuclear submarines to dive through and that has always drove me bonkers. With that said,...
I'm currently working on upgrading a Sharepoint 2003 installation to a Sharepoint 2007 installation. I am using a custom site definition in 2003 and would like to map that to the out of the box "Team Site" definition in 2007. Assume my custom site definition is called CustomSiteDef.

My web project (to be launched in a few months) is currently using CakePHP 1.2.5 / PHP 5.1.6 / MySQL 5.0.77. From a performance point of view, is it a good idea to upgrade to 1.3? Will it make it easier to later upgrade to the (PHP5-only) CakePHP 2? ...

Hi all, I am using Fogbugz as my Bug tracking software, and was thinking on a schedule so that I can upgrade my Bug tracking software once in a while according to that schedule. I was just curious on how others are doing their upgrades, and how often. It would also be nice If you share on what basis you schedule the frequency of your ...
My job is to upgrade all of our applications that use OpenSceneGraph (an openGl toolkit) version 0.9.9 to the latest and greatest 2.8. Well quite a few caveats come with this task: 1.) After version .9.9 there was a major overhaul the the core OpenSceneGraph (OSG). Commonly used functions and classes were added and removed. Simply put, ...
Imagine you have a program written e.g. in Java 1.4 or C# 1.0. Of course this program doesn't use generics and other language features that were introduced with later versions. Now some non-trivial changes have to be made. And of course, you already have a newer IDE/compiler so you could use Java 1.6 resp. C# 3.5 instead. Would you use ...
On a Red hat box, I upgraded Python from 2.3 to 2.6.4 and changed the symlink to python so when I type in python the 2.6.4 interpreter comes up. However my .py file works from the command-line, but not in the browser. It seemed like a sys.path issue so I opened the file in a browser and printed out sys.path. Surprisingly, my sys.path i...
Hi! I hope someone can answer my questions. I made an installer using Installshield. Then also about 5 patches because of some bugs and everything. Now here are my questions: Is it possible to make new installer based on the previous one, like an upgrade, but with the patched file on it and not the original files? Supposed that questio...

I know that sessions can time out, and I have set the timeout value for my sessions to several hours to avoid surprise timeouts. But there are at least two other cases I'm worried about. (1) I...
