Now I upgraded my OS to Win7-64 and I always get errors like "Host not found" while with a WinXP system the remote call still work...

Visual Studio Cannot Find CIODMLib Project Reference On Windows 7 64 Bit Machine

I am currently in the process of upgrading our developer environment to Windows 7 64 bit. I have a C# project reference to CIODMLib which is a COM reference to "C:\windows\system32\ciodm.dll" on Windows XP. For some reason, that COM component does not exist on Windows 7 even though the dll is there. I've already verified that Indexing S...

Compiling OpenCV on Windows 7 64bit

I'm trying to get OpenCV working on Windows 7 64bit. I tried installing the vs2008.exe installer bundle from the OpenCV website but it produced errors when trying to compile, I Google'd these and it appears that installer is no good for 64bit versions of Windows 7, bugger.

How to fix VS2008 and VS2010 dev envts on Win7 x64

Ok, I'm in a world of pain at the moment. We'd been developing with VS2008 (VB.NET, mostly WinForms, also ASP.NET and Windows services) on Win7 x64, with specific requirements (that we can't get rid of yet), to target x86 and framework 3.5.

How to get the path to the VS command line prompt (in both 32bit and 64bit)?

Hi, Up until today, in order to get the VS command line prompt I checked the "ProductDir" value in the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\VC" registry key. I noticed that this code won't necessarily do the job if I'm running on Windows 7 64 bit, since this key is not always accissible to all programs. I started to...
