On Linux/GCC I can use the -rpath flag to change an executables search path for shared libraries without tempering with environment variables. Can this also be accomplished on Windows? As far as I know, dlls are always searched in the executable's directory and in PATH. My scenario: I would like to put shared libraries into location...
Some time ago (the last time I had to care about this was a few years back), booting a PC worked kind of like this: There was an ORDER to disks (primary Master, primary slave, secondary master & slave) The PC would take them in order, and look for an "active partition" (which was set with FDISK) It'd boot from the first active partitio...

I've been developing Winforms applications in C# for a few years now and have been interested in moving future development toward WPF, mainly because of the positive things I've been hearing about it.

This is slightly off topic of programming but still has to do with my programming project. I'm writing an app that uses a custom proxy server. I would like to write the server in C# since it would be easier to write and maintain, but I am concerned about the licensing cost of Windows Server + CALS vs a Linux server (obviously, no CALS)...

Hi, Since VS 2005, I see that it is not possible to simply build a dll against MS runtime and deploy them together (http://www.ddj.com/windows/184406482). I am deeply confused by manifest, SxS and co: MSDN documentation is really poor, with circular references; specially since I am more a Unix guy, I find all those uninformative. My cor...

What is the correct way to import a C++ class from a DLL? We're using Visual C++. There's the dllexport/exports.def+LoadLibrary+GetProcAddress trifecta, but it doesn't work on C++ classes, only C functions. Is this due to C++ name-mangling? How do I make this work? ...

EDIT: This was formerly more explicitly titled: - "Best solution to stop Kontiki's KHOST.EXE from loading automatically at start-up on Windows XP?" Essentially, whenever the 40D application is run it sets up khost.exe to automatically start-up with Windows. This is annoying as it increases my boot up time by a couple of minutes and I d...

I'm using C++ and accessing a UNC path across the network. This path is slightly greater than MAX_PATH. So I cannot obtain a file handle. But if I run the program on the computer in question, the path is not greater than MAX_PATH. So I can get a file handle. If I rename the file to have less characters (minus length of computer name)...
