That way I don't need an installer -- just a standalone JAR. Can this be done? When I call new FileOutputStream(new File("C:/Windows/rxtxSerial.dll")), I get the following excepti...

I am about to develop a Windows service in C#. This service needs to keep track of events in the system, and write some data to files from time to time. These ongoing events form a certain state, so I'll keep the state in memory and update it as events will arrive. I don't want to over-complicate things so I don't want the state to be pe...
I have a C# application which is built for both x86 (32 bit) and x64 (64 bit) platforms. My build system currently outputs two MSI installers, one for each platform. In case it makes a difference, my C# application includes a windows taskbar toolbar which means that the installed DLL must be loaded by the explorer.exe process. Is it pos...
I have a third party encryption library, which may create a MessageBox if key creation fails. The failure can be caused by bad random number generation or other rarities, and in most cases, trying again will result in success. My code will attempt key creation up to three times before deciding it failed. Now, the issue is that the progr...

I'm trying to learn how to write Windows GUI* programs in C++, using Visual Studio 2008, but I haven't found any more comprehensive tutorial for beginners.

I am the only developer in my company, and as such I control everything from deployment to bugfix to new features. My tool of choice is VS2010 and I code primarily in ASP.NET for new features and Classic ASP (sigh) for the bugfixes. I only have VS2010 Pro and I do not have access to any of the MS Team software. Now we are setting up a n...
