I am trying to deploy a Visual C++ application (developed with Microsoft Visual Studio 2008) using a Setup and Deployment Project. After installation, users on some target computers get the following error message after launching the application executable: “This application has failed to start because the application configuration is in...
What are the use cases of using static libraries in C++? I have seen that people create DLLs instead or some that use static libraries only. Whats your recommendation? ...
I'm working with an MFC application using Visual C++ 6.0. When I double-click on one of the elements of a dialog box in Resource View, I get the error "Cannot add new member."

There's too much bytes and too few information in Internet, so I decided to ask if someone have already done such an installation. How to compile/where to download binaries? Where can I find a build rule? Where can I find a bunch of good samples (with associativity resolution, symbol tables etc.)? ...
Hello everyone, If i create a heap array inside a loop, do i have to delete it at the end of each loop before i reinitialize it at the beginning of the loop again or will reinitializing the exact same thing again simply overwrite the old array and i can just skip the delete command? ...
I have a COM interface with a method that returns an object: interface ICreatorInterface { HRESULT CreateObject( IObjectToCreate** ); }; The key is that calling ICreatorInterface::CreateObject() is the only way to retrieve an object implementing IObjectToCreate interface. In C++ I could do it this way: HRESULT CCreatorInterface...
My team and I are developing a VC++ 6 project. We are all using the same code-base (using version control system), and all our compiler/linker/environment-settings (including include directories order), as far as we can tell, are exactly the same. Of course we are using the same VC++ version with the same service packs (VC6 SP6). The pr...

In COM when I have a well-known interface that I can't change: interface IWellKnownInterface { HRESULT DoStuff( IUnknown* ); }; and my implementation of IWellKnownInterface::DoStuff() can only work when the passed object implements some specific interface how do I handle this situation? HRESULT CWellKnownInterfaceImpl::DoStuff( ...
My command wants to code a fast unit-test. We have lots of .cpp files that are tests of a library. The main idea is to generate precompiled header once, then build each .cpp file separately into .obj file. It must be done without a project having all these inside, since we want to know what particular .cpp failed, but all other compiled ...

Hello, The title is just for teasing. :-) I know it isn't possible, but here is my problem. My app (a DLL, actually) uses Boost. It also uses an external API, which also uses Boost. The external API is of course provided in a release binary, anlong the needed release Boost binaries. When I compile/link my DLL in release mode, I have n...
Hello, I have a VC++ managed app that was built and tested against VC80.CRT version 8.0.50727.762. I verified that the embedded manifest points to 762, and the build machine has 762 as the latest VC80.CRT version. The app has now been also run on a machine that has both 762 as well as a later version of the runtimes (4053). Both mac...
I'm writing a Conway's life game for school. In the program I am having trouble with the arrays taking the values I am assigning them. At one point in the program they print out the value assigned to them (1) yet at the end of the program when I need to print the array to show the iterations of the game it shows an incredibly low number....

I need to convert a CString instance into a properly allocated BSTR and pass that BSTR into a COM method. To have code that compiles and works indentically for both ANSI and Unicode I use CString::AllocSysString() to convert whatever format CString to a Unicode BSTR. Since noone owns the returned BSTR I need to take care of it and relea...
