This pretty much has me defeated. On XP and earlier versions of Windows you could customise Open With filetypes to include java - jar "myjar.jar", but on Vista this functionality seems to have been removed. I can of course create a .bat file to launch my application, but is it possible to make Vista execute a .jar as required? ...
Have you used the Application Recovery APIs with vista? http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa373347(VS.85).aspx Do you find them to be reliable and easy to work with? I am reading through some of the docs and it seems rolling my own might be a better way to go because I can make my solution compatible with XP. Has anyone taken ...

What needs to happen before we can open Web Application Projects hosted in IIS7 with Visual Studio 2008 without running as Administrator? Are we talking about waiting for the next version of Visual Studio? Are there any existing workarounds? I think it's implied by the above, but this pertains to Vista. Thanks. ...
I'm planning to install Linux on a computer that is currently running Windows Vista. Vista needs to remain functional after the install. I've been reading and it sounds like Microsoft changed the way Vista boots compared to previous versions of Windows. Preferably, I'd like to use GRUB to do the dual booting. Is there anything in parti...
I have a button on a website that creates a directory and copys a file. I developed it using Visual Studio 2008, ASP.Net 3.5. I am running Vista as my OS. The website uses identiy impersonation. The functionality doesn't work ("Access to Path XYZ is denied") when: I run the website via IE hitting the local webserver The functiona...
I have an application written in Delphi 7 which does not require an admin privilages to run. For some reason I am able to save files to c:\windows and c:\windows\system32 from within the application even though the application has not requested UAC elevation.

Hi all, I have a very simple app I'm trying to get to run under TCP using WCF 3.5 on Vista Enterpise.

(I have this weird configuration problem at work, so I thought I'd give this site a try. My Google-Fu is failing me...) The situation: I need to convert our current development environment from XP 32bit to Vista 64bit (*). Naturally, I've run into plenty of places in our build system where hardcoded paths were problematic (e.g. "C:\Prog...
I've used MAPI to create emails with attachments from my application and it works very well on XP and Vista (without UAC). Of course, if you have UAC enabled, it just doesn't work (though it gives no errors, and doesn't prompt the user for permission to continue). I've done a bunch of reading and have found a lot of differing ideas: ...
I have a very simple Setup project that copies three dlls into the GAC. That's all it has to do. It works fine in XP, but on a Vista machine, it errors out stating that it cannot write to the file and to check permissions. I'm sure this has to do with some impersonation nonsense in Vista, but I'm not sure how to address it. Has anyone e...
Hello, I need to reinstall IIS 7.0 on Vista due to some unsolved configuration issues. I thought it was easy: I uninstalled all IIS-related stuff in Programs/Features, restarted system, installed all IIS modules again (installation cd wasn't needed) and hmm.. everything looks the same - I mean wrong. I see all configured websites, modul...

Doing some more tinkering with development on VS2008/Vista/IIS7, I'm wondering at a few things regarding the Network Service account. It had no issues running my website until I attempted to set up the Sql Role Membership Provider, which creates a local database in the App_Data folder. Somewhere in there, Network Service ran out of the p...
This happens when compiling for Any Cpu as well as compiling to x86. Sections of the GUI doesn't redraw unless it's resized, for instance if the main form is maximized some of the controls don't resize with it, and others have sections that don't redraw and displays the what was previously there. This works fine on 32-bit machines, bot...

I have a legacy VB6 program which installs an Access file in a sub-directory of the common data folder (CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA).
