I have successfully developed and deployed a ClickOnce application which registers an associated file extension, for instance *.abc. When I click on a file named x.abc or if I type x.abc from the command prompt, the ClickOnce application starts and I can retrieve the file through the dedicated API. I can also launch the application progr...
I have a VB6 application that still references some old VB5 libraries (dll, vbr, tlb, and ocx). We're having some strange issues like it can't read the registry using advapi32.dll. I've tried running the application with UAC permissions, but still no go. We can't recompile the app because it has several controls and components that canno...

This code used to work on Vista (and Windows XP) but after an upgrade to Windows 7 it now fails with the error shown: Python 2.6.2 (r262:71605, Apr 14 2009, 22:40:02) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 >>> import _winreg >>> h1 = _winreg.ConnectRegistry(None, _winreg.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE) >>> key = r'SOFTWARE\Python\PythonCore\2...

I've been encountering a problem when trying to query all available resolutions on some nvidia cards under Win7. for(int i = 0; EnumDisplaySettings( deviceName.c_str(), i, &dm) != 0; ++i) reports resolution which aren't available like 866 x 650. Most supported resolutions on the other hand are missing. Changing driver/monitor setup di...
Forms on Windows 7 and Vista have thicker borders than those of XP. As a result, some content that spans the entire height or width of a form will be cut off. Is there a simple way to fix this, or do all the forms of my application need to be resized to accommodate for this? Update: It appears to be the fault of the form size and not...
I have PHP for FastCGI installed on Windows 7 through the Web Platform Installer. I need to edit php.ini to enable logging, but I'm not able to overwrite the existing file, apparently because something has it open and/or locked. Stopping the server in IIS Manager doesn't help; stopping the Windows Process Activation Service and the Wor...
We have a perfectly functional app that just broke on Windows 7 because (the GDI+ primitive) GdipCreateBitmapFromStream refuses JPEG images presented to it (without problem on XP and even Vista). We don't directly call GDI+, we call the documented ATL CImage class, and it calls that, and gets the error. It's our own OLE stream implemen...
In many of my Access (2002) programs I use the GetOpenFileNameA and GetSaveFileNameA functions from comdlg32.dll. I often set the initial directory to the user's My Documents folder (using calls to SHGetSpecialFolderLocation and SHGetPathFromIDListA from shell32). This all works fine under Windows XP. However, I recently switched to W...
I installed the latest XAMPP package which includes PHP 5.3.0. I am trying to enable Xdebug, but it just won't work. Here's what I changed in the php.ini shipped with XAMPP: ; uncommented zend_extension = "X:\xampp\php\ext\php_xdebug.dll" ; added the following lines: xdebug.remote_enable=true xdebug.remote_host=localhost xdebug.remote...
I'm trying to install Windows 7 64bit (as oppose to 32bit), mainly because large amount of RAM would be wasted otherwise. I wonder if I should install Visual Studio 2008 32bit OR 64bit. I also uses Qt 4.5/4.6 for development, does it play well in 64bit environment? Any suggestions on what will be a most recommended configuration? ...

In the second example (in the section examples) on this link, there is a description on using WM_QUERYENDSESSION to abort a shutdown. It also states that this does not work on versions of windows later than XP. This is conflicting with the advice given on another question here at stackoverflow. What is the correct answer? I do not have a...
Hi, We have just received some new computers for use in the office (Dell Vostro). They seem to work fine in the main. When we use IE8 to go to some web pages such as yahoo mail it tells us: “There is a problem with this websites security certificate” If we have a look at the details it says: “This certificate cannot be verified up ...

I presently have the following JNA code to obtain the AppUserModelID: public class AppIdTest { public static void main(String[] args) { NativeLibrar...
How do you call IFileOpenDialog and IFileSaveDialog from VBA? According to Microsoft, applications written for Windows 7 and later should use IFileOpenDialog/IFileSaveDialog API calls instead of GetOpenFileName/GetSaveFileName (see Using the Common File Dialog). This is especially important for full Library support. ...
