Hi all, I have some problems with Miktex installed on Windows Vista Business SP1/32 bit. I use miktex 2.7, ghostscript, and texniccenter 1 beta 7.50. When I compile a document with the following profiles: Latex=>DVI, Latex=>PDF everything works fine; the system crashes when I compile with profiles Latex=>PS and Latex=>PS=>PDF. The error...
I run Vista (business x32) on my work machine, in which I do ASP.NET development. Because I use IIS to server the sites I build (I do a lot of CMS integrations so I need to use IIS not the inbuilt web development server) I always need to attach to w3wp for debugging. The problem is that w3wp requires elevated permissions for me to conne...

My app is installed via NSIS. I want the installer to install the program for all users. I can do this, by installing to the 'program files' directory. There is a database file (firebird), that all user accounts on the system should share. If I store this database file in the 'program files' directory it will be read only. If I st...

I have a legacy VB6 executable that runs on Vista. This executable shells out another legacy MFC C++ executable. In our early Vista testing, this call would display the typical UAC message to get the user's permission before running the second executable. This wasn't perfect, but acceptable. However, it now looks like this call is bei...

So I have a problem in Vista which I can't run certain applications (well, the entier MS suite, Office, Visual Studio, etc) as an Administrator. From the looks of the problem it is caused by the Digital Certificate, and the fact that it has been "revoked". So now I have a problem, how do I un-revoke the digital certificate? Alternative...
Hello all, Running VS2003/05 under Vista makes the former screw up the display at least 50% of the time - you start debugging, VS kicks in and you see the windows/docking panes screwed up, not refreshing, etc... I've contacted Microsoft about this, but they weren't much help, I was wondering if someone knows any fixes? I'm running VS w...
I am building an MFC application for both XP and Vista. I have Visual Studio 2008 installed on the XP machine but I need to debug the application on Vista. How can I do that? Do I really have to install Visual Studio on a Vista machine? When using remote debugging I assume that all executable and library files must be in my Vista virtua...
I didn't upgrade to Vista until May or so and one of the things I've always heard developers I know in real life say is "first thing you should do is turn off that UAC crap" Well, I've left it on this whole time for a few reasons. First, just as a failsafe in case I do something idiotic like have a momentary lapse of reason and run an a...
I have written a thumbnail provider following the interfaces specified on MSDN. However, I have been unable to figure out how to register it in a way that Vista actually calls into it. Has anyone gotten a thumbnail provider working for Vista? Sample code or links would be especially helpful. ...
I want my Python script to copy files on Vista. When I run it from a normal cmd.exe window, no errors are generated, yet the files are NOT copied. If I run cmd.exe "as administator" and then run my script, it works fine. This makes sense since UAC normally prevents many file system actions. Is there a way I can, from within a Python ...
What is the right place to store program data files which are the same for every user but have to be writeable for the program? What would be the equivalent location on MS Windows XP? I have read that C:\ProgramData is not writeable after installation by normal users. Is that true? How can I retrieve that directory programmatically using...

We have an MSI installer for a .Net WinForms app for Windows XP that installs and runs only as an admin. Users have to log in to the app when it runs. Customers want it to install and run under a user account under Vista, and to use their Windows account. A preliminary look through the code shows lots of problems; the installer writes t...
I'm writing a program that uses SetWindowRgn to make transparent holes in a window that belongs to another process. (This is done only when the user explicitly requests it.) The program has to assume that the target window may already have holes which need to be preserved, so before it calls SetWindowRgn, it calls GetWindowRgn to get th...
I have a couple applications that I would like to be able to add scheduled tasks from within them. I've been Googling for how to add tasks in both XP and Vista. Apparently, Vista has a new Task Scheduler that is very different from the one in XP. Does anybody know if there is a single API to tackle both of them, or do I have to code for...
