Are there any compatibility issues with running Visual Studio 6.0 (including Visual SourceSafe 6.0 Client), Visual Studio 2003 & Visual Studio 2008 on Windows Vista 64-bit? Can I interactively debug the applications with the Vista Web Server? Can I still make/compile projects? Is it correct to assume that Visual Studio 6.0 & 2003 will ...
Are there any issues with running an asp.net 1.1 application under windows server 2008 64-bit web edition? ...
Installed Tomcat 6 on WinXP 64. It installed just fine. But when I try to launch it ( from Windows Services) I get the following error : "Can not start an the Apache Tomcat Service on Local computer." error 216:0xd8 ...
Can someone tell me why I don't have all of the dev studio windows available to me when I develop on a 64-bit platform? I upgraded my dev desktop box to server 2003 x64 to match our deployment platform. Since then (I'm using VS2005) I've noticed that several windows aren't available. I can't view Processes (which is the most annoying)...
Should my program support IA64, or should it only support x64? I haven't been able to easily find IA64 computers myself. Is IA64 dead? MS seems to have a wide support for IA64, but it took me a long time to be able to find an IA64, and I had to end up getting it on eBay. ...
How can one get Visual Studio 2005/2008 to reference assemblies in the 64-bit GAC instead of the 32-bit GAC? We are settin the target platfom to x64 and the compiler is throwing the error of Error 2 Warning as Error: Assembly generation -- Referenced assembly 'System.Data.dll' targets a different processor Common Error 3 Warning...
I would like to know how .NET teams out there are handling assembly reference paths when not everybody can immediately upgrade to a x64 operating system. The key issue right now is x64 versions of Windows will plant 32-bit installations into C:\Program Files (x86)\ instead of the regular C:\Program Files. This means many extra components...
Apologies if any of what I'm about to say makes no sense or overlooks something obvious - my knowledge of CLR internals is spotty. If I understand correctly, then if I just build a solution for 'AnyCPU' in VS2K5 (or point MSBuild at that .sln file with those settings) then the binaries only compile as far as MSIL. They then get JITted t...
I am trying to get a definitive answer regarding the way COM behaves on a x64 machine. Does Windows use the normal x64 calling convention when dispatching calls to COM interfaces on x64 machines (assuming the COM implementation is 64 bits)? Specifically, I dynamically generate my vtbl entries to point to a chunk of assembly that's dynami...
I am trying to run PartCover to test the coverage of some tests with Gallio on windows x64. However trying to run it gives the following error. Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {FB20430E-CDC9-45D7-8453-272268002E08} failed due to the following error: 80040153. Edit: I am using PartCover 2.2.0 ...
I've got an arbitrary list of .NET assemblies. I need to programmatically check if each DLL was built for x86. (As opposed to x64 or Any CPU.) Is this possible? ...
We are developing a Winforms application and in the process of optimizing the start-up time. The app runs on 64 bit Vista machines. In our testing we found what seems like a counter intuitive result. All else equal, targeting 32-bit vs 64-bit loads in half the time. Can anyone shed some light as to why? Thanks. [Edit] We deploy the...
Hello! What are differences between enabling and disabling "Enable 32-Bit applications" in websites application pools under IIS7 on x64 machine? Mostly I'm thinking about memory usage. Thanks in advance ...
I've built the x86 Boost libraries many times, but I can't seem to build x64 libraries. I start the "Visual Studio 2005 x64 Cross Tools Command Prompt" and run my usual build: bjam --toolset=msvc --build-type=complete --build-dir=c:\build install But it still produces x86 .lib files (I verified this with dumpbin /headers). What am I d...
StackOverflow, you're my only hope! I am unfortunate enough to have inherited an ASP.NET 3.5 application roughly 3/4 in development. This project uses Crystal Reports Basic for VS 2008 to generate a PDF file from a data source. Pretty straightforward. Anyway, this project compiles and runs fine on my development machine (VS 2008), but ...
I am trying to install a Windows service using InstallUtil.exe and am getting the error message System.BadImageFormatException - invalid format What gives? ...
Would I expect to see any performance gain by building my native C++ Client and Server into 64 bit code? What sort of applications benefit from having a 64 bit specific build? I'd imagine anything that makes extensive use of long would benefit, or any application that needs a huge amount of memory (i.e. more than 2Gb), but I'm not sur...
Hi, We have a 32-bit application that launches other 32-bit applications during its process. The application is working fine on other 64-bit platforms but on Windows Server 2003 64-bit, we get an error trying to launch the apps: error 193 (not a valid 32 bit application) We can manually launch these applications on that system withou...
Hi All, I'm having an issue with CruiseControl.net where the web dashboard just won't work in IIS. I have tried switching ASP.Net between 64 and 32 bit modes and reinstalling cruise control, but nothing seems to work. Has anyone else had issues with CruiseControl.Net on 64 bit platforms? Cheers, Jamie [Edit] Thought I should clarify, ...
I have just installed the Platform SDK for Windows Server 2008 and .NET 3.5 on my new system, and for the first time tried to compile a project for WIN64. The Unicode Release version of that program, built for 32 bit (using the optimizing compiler from the no longer available Free Toolkit), comes in at about 2.8 MB. Using the amd64 com...
