Does windows XP SP2 include .net framework by default?

I am not sure if Windows XP SP2 comes with .net framework 2.0 or not, I tried to search for this but I couldn't find a final word. So if anyone knows whether a clean install of Windows XP SP2 installs .net framework 2.0+ or not it will be great. Thanks ...

FIPS-compliant Isolated Storage in WinXP?

I've read (but not tested) that Isolated Storage uses Sha1Managed, which is not FIPS-compliant? Is that accurate, and can anything be done to use Isolated Storage on a FIPS-compliant WinXP SP2 box? I've seen mention of "Isolated Storage" within both the ClickOnce and Silverlight spaces. I'd appreciate an informed answer regarding eith...

FIPS-compliant HashAlgorithm on WinXP?

How can I use C# on a FIPS-compliant WinXP SP2 box to uniquely hash the contents of a given file? I'm not concerned about performance (yet?).

surprising time shift for python call

I'm using the following code in Python 2.5.1 to generate a UTC timestamp from a string representation of a date: time.mktime(time.strptime("2009-06-16", "%Y-%m-%d")) The general result is: 1245103200 (16.6.2009 0:00 UTC or 15.6.09 22:00:00, if you're in my time zone). But now, I found that on some computers running Windows XP, this ...

TAnimate in Windows XP/Vista with themes enabled won't work

A coworker has been using a custom AVI to indicate progress during some longer operations for years. It's always worked fine. Recently he decided to move from Delphi 7 to Delphi 2007, in part to get theme support for his applications. (We've finally got most people, but not all, running on XP.) The animation stopped working. Disabling t...

How to disable Control-C in a WindowsXP Python console program?

I'd like to put my cmd.com window into a mode where Control-C does not generate a SIGINT signal to Python (ActiveState if it matters). I know I can use the signal module to handle SIGINT. The problem is that handling SIGINT is too late; by the time it is handled, it has already interrupted a system call. I'd like something equivalent t...

Restrict a directory that can be used only through a .net Application

I have a windows Application that stores certain files in a directory. I would like to know if there is a way in .net that I can restrict users not to have access to that directly (by just going to that directory in windows, and grab files) so only my application can add/verify/delete a file in that directory. ...

Programmatically changing the WinXP language

How do I programmatically change the language used in WinXP using .Net 2.0 (or a pInvoke). The user does not have access to the task bar in the application I'm working on so the input method needs to reflect the application's selected language. I need to be able to swap the language from a left-to-right to a right-to-left and back again ...

Hi All, I recently installed the 64 bit version of XP on my new development machine, and subsequently installed AccuRev.

Installing Erlang on Windows XP

I have tried installing Erlang 13B through to 12B to follow the tutorials. Everytime I get to c(tut), I get an error instead of (ok, tut), so it seems like there are no modules installed, can anyone point me in the right direction?

How to configure website guest access?

I finished creating my C#/SQL web application in VS 2008 on an XP Pro OS. It builds and executes successfully. Using the same code, I developed a website in VS 2008.
