I'm using the VS2008 installer (plus a custom Orca action) to create an installer for my .NET product. I just recently found out that one of the third-party assemblies I was using is x86-specific (as it includes some native code); thus, x64 customers were getting crashes on startup with errors about the assembly not being appropriate fo...
i have a VS05 C++ (MFC) project which uses HtmlHelp (function HTMLHelpA, linked from HmleHelp.lib, which came from HTML HElp Workshop v1.4). the 32-bit version compiles and links fine. the 64-bit version compiles fine, but gets an "unresolved external" error on HTMLHelpA, when linking. so, my question is simple: is there a way to use ...
I'd like to offer my users correct links to an upgraded version of my program based on what platform they're running on, so I need to know whether I'm currently running on an x86 OS or an x64 OS. The best I've found is using Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE"), but I would think there would be some built-in faci...
I need to build a managed DLL, targeted for x64, and expose it via x64 COM. I need a walk through, good article, etc... Interop is fairly straightforward, but when you talk about x64 on both sides, I can't find anything. ...
Hi, all, I know you can use autoexnt to run a batch file on startup for Windows XP, but that only seems to work for 32-bit machines. I'm running Windows XP x64 on a box, and I need to have a script run on startup (without anyone's logging in). Any ides? Thanks for the help. ...
We have two versions of a managed C++ assembly, one for x86 and one for x64. This assembly is called by a .net application complied for AnyCPU. We are deploying our code via a file copy install, and would like to continue to do so. Is it possible to use a Side-by-Side assembly manifest to loading a x86 or x64 assembly respectively whe...
At present it seems that VS2008 still isn't supported either in the 5.1.5 release or in the STLPort CVS repository. If someone has already done this work then it would be useful to share, if possible :) Likewise it would be useful to know about the changes required for a VS2005 or 2008 x64 build. ...
I have an application that we're trying to migrate to 64bit from 32bit. It's .NET, compiled using the x64 flags. However, we have a large number of DLLs written in FORTRAN 90 compiled for 32bit. The functions in the FORTRAN DLLs are fairly simple: you put data in, you pull data out; no state of any sort. We also don't spend a lot of...
Hi All We have some very large data files (5 gig to 1TB) where we need quick read/write access. Since we have a fixed record size it seems like some form of ISAM would be the way to go. But would be happy to hear other suggestions. Ideally the solution would have an Apache or LGPL style license but we will pay if we have to. Mus...
I have a C++ tool that walks the call stack at one point. In the code, it first gets a copy of the live CPU registers (via RtlCaptureContext()), then uses a few "#ifdef ..." blocks to save the CPU-specific register names into stackframe.AddrPC.Offset, ...AddrStack..., and ...AddrFrame...; also, for each of the 3 Addr... members above, i...
I believe the architecture type (x86 vs x64) is abstracted away for you when making .Net programs, but are there any other considerations that can cause problems? ...
After following the instructions in INSTALL.W64 I have two problems: The code is still written to the "out32" folder. I need to be able to link to both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the library on my workstation, so I don't want the 64-bit versions to clobber the 32-bit libs. The output is still 32-bit! This means that I get "unresolve...
It looks like some work has been done to make pthread-win32 work with x64, but there are no build instructions. I have tried simly building with the Visual Studio x64 Cross Tools Command Prompt, but when I try to link to the lib from an x64 application, it can't see any of the function exports. It seems like it is still compiling the lib...
There are a ton of drivers & famous applications that are not available in 64-bit. Adobe for instance does not provider a 64-bit Flash player plugin for Internet Explorer. And because of that, even though I am running 64-bit Vista, I have to run 32-bit IE. Microsoft Office, Visual Studio also don't ship in 64-bit AFAIK. Now personally, ...
In a c++ function I need the compiler to choose a different block if it is compiling for a 64 bit architecture. I know a way to do it for MSVC++ and g++, so i'll post it as an answer. However I would like to know if there is a better way (more elegant that would work for all compilers/all 64 bits architectures). If there is not a better...
I am trying to compile my apps (which uses 3rd party libraries) for the x64 platform. However selecting x64 from Build Configuration Manager from my VS2008 Pro doesn't seem to work. The binary does get created but my client wasn't able to get it to run on x64. I wonder if the 3rd party DLLs could be the cause. Anyone has any idea on th...
I'm using: FileInfo(System.Environment.GetFolderPath(System.Environment.SpecialFolder.ProgramFiles) + @"\MyInstalledApp" In order to determine if a program is detected on a users machine (it's not ideal, but the program I'm looking for is a right old kludge of a MS-Dos application, and I couldn't think of another method). On XP and 3...
We are attempting to install BizTalk Server 2006 R2 on a fresh server with x64 Windows 2008. The basic configuration is complaining that the “Default Web Site” we select for the BAM Portal installation is not validated due to “IIS is not 32-bit enabled.” Despite setting the appPool (Classic mode) 32-bit property to True, BizTalk configur...
I have a workstation with Windows 2008 x64, MS Access 2007 and Oracle 11g x64 I use Access to connect to Oracle via ODBC. I am the administrator (in the administrator group) on the workstation. I run Access as administrator but when I want to make an ODBC call to Oracle it does not work. How do I do it: I start MS Access and creates a d...
I am on Vista 64 bits and I have a project built with x86 configuration. All work fine. Now, we are at the time to create test. We have NUnit 2.4.8 but we have a lot of problem. The test are loading trough the Nunit.exe (gui) when we select the .dll directly but when executing we have a system.badimageformatexception. I have read by se...
