The company I work for has been using a certain installer for the past few years (its name is very similar to another installer product from which we switched). I was recently tasked with reworking the installer and fleshing out all the little bugs and edge cases that were causing all kinds of problems. I found the product so inflexible...
I am calling WsKSendTo on an opened socket (irp returns success in callback). But WskSendTo on that socket returns c0000184, what is referenced to as STATUS_INVALID_DEVICE_STATE. What kind of errors are addressed by this? Did I miss something in the send routine? psc->dstaddr.sin_family = AF_INET; psc->dstaddr.sin_port = 0x6973; ...
I'm programming a solution that requires parsing some data sent to a printer that is attached to a serial port. It's only reading, I don't need to interfere with the communication, but I need it to happen real time... I've searched around and found nothing that allows me to do this kind of stuff using the language i'm programming the so...

Is there any good way to do this, or should I just bite the bullet and either a) buy an IDE for PHP on Windows, or b) find out how to do this on Linux and run Cygwin? ...
I need to know when a new file appears in a directory. Obviously, I could poll the file system periodically, but that has all the normal downsides of polling mechanisms. I know that windows supports file system events, and this project is already constrained to the Windows platform by other requirements. Does anyone have experience re...
I am trying to start a Buildbot Buildslave on a Windows XP virtual machine: python buildbot start . ImportError: No module named win32api. Google tells me that win32api is win32api.dll. I downloaded the file from www.dll-files.com and followed the guide found on that site (http://www.dll-files.com/unzip.php). When I try to run regv...
I have the following windows batch command as part of a larger batch file: type *.sql > dbScript.txt ren dbScript.txt dbScript.sql As you can see it joins all SQL scripts in a particular directory into one so that it can be executed during the database build process. My problem is that I now have non ANSI characters in one of the SQL...
I plan to use bonjour for my server-side companion app for a iPhone utility. I plan to request a license grant from apple, but as with any dependency I want to know in advance if exist any caveats on doing that, like: Can exist a good chance of crash or imcopatibilities in installing it (obviously, acording to the manual) when the end...
We currently have an Air app that is displaying purple text only on Windows machines. On Mac machines it is the right color. We have the text color defined in multiple places and none of it is overriding the purple text. ...

I'm currently working on a game and relaly want to add an external console to it (right now it's built into the main game window). What I would really like is to create a new Window which acts as the console with maybe a text box in the bottom to add new commands into it and a larger text box on top which outputs information. I'm using...
In the windows registry, under the key [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer], there is a REG_BINARY variable called ShellState, 44 bytes in length. It looks suspiciously like a set of bit flags, but maybe there's some kind of struct present, really no way to tell from looking at it. Anyway, does anyone...
I have a check box that I want to accurately measure so I can position controls on a dialog correctly. I can easily measure the size of the text on the control - but I don't know the "official" way of calculating the size of the check box and the gap before (or after) the text. ...
Is there any way to get .NET 3.5 working on Windows 2000? Specifically, the only part I need is the System.Core.dll to use the System.IO.Pipes namespace. Hackish workaround methods are fine, if necessary. Thanks! ...
I have a system running Windows XPe with a CN700 graphics chipset and two monitors: an LCD panel and a VGA monitor with no EDID. The panel has a resolution of 1440 x 900, and I want to run the VGA monitor at this resolution too. I've created and loaded a monitor .inf file with the desired resolution of the VGA monitor. The LCD panel...
Note that I can conduct the research inside the boost source code, and may do this to answer my own curiosity if there isn't anyone out there with an answer. I do ask however because maybe someone has already done this comparison and can answer authoritatively? It would seem that creating a shared memory mapped file between processes, ...
I have a long-running memory hog of an experimental program, and I'd like to know it's actual memory footprint. The Task Manager says (in windows7-64) that the app is consuming 800 mb of memory, but the total amount of memory allocated, also according to the task manager, is 3.7gb. The sum of all the allocated memory does not equal 3.7...
There have been a lot of questions asked and answered about batch file parameters with regards to the %* but I haven't found an answer for this. Is there an equivalent syntax in batch files that can perform the same behavior as "$@" in unix. Some context: @echo off set MYPATH=%~dp0 set PYTHON=%MYPATH%..\python\python set BASENAME=%~n0...
