Windows 7 Program Compatibility Assistant and VS2008 Clickonce deployment

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 23:11:50 Z

Hi,

Everytime I try and deploy my clickonce solution (to a folder) it makes a setup.exe a *.application and such...
however setup.exe triggers PCA alerts in windows 7, my visual studio is 2008 is SP1 patched, is there some other update that will make a "compatible" setup.exe? (my end users like to click setup.exe files over the myapp.application files, plus I'd like to have one procedure to follow for xp and vista and 7, and some of them didn't even have the framework installed, so the setup.exe was handy to install it automatically..)
My application has the correct manifest to identify as 7 compatible, is there an update I can use for the clickonce setup.exe?

ShellExtension dll with MSI

Fri, 30 Oct 2009 10:13:39 Z

Hi,
I have created a shell extension dll using C++. It is getting registered with regsvr32 and working fine.
Now I am creating an MSI installer for this , but I am getting the following issues.

1. In the setup project , if I specified "primary output properties " for register as "vsdrpCOM". On building the setup project I get
Unable to create registration information for file named 'SimpExt.dll'. I tried changing the dll's OLESelfRegister property to 1 manually in .res file , but that too didnt help.

2. If I change the Register type to vsdrpCOMSelfReg, it fails during installation.

3. I tried adding a custom action using ORCA as specified by http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/windowscompatibility/thread/11c65800-e751-458d-a77c-ae069f44f9f2/

Changed the Register type to vsdrpDoNotRegister and set
Target as regsvr32.exe /s . But that too giving error during installation
[[ Error 1721. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. Action: RegDll, location: C:\MyExplorer\, command: regsvr32 /s SimpExt.dll ]]

This dll does not have any dependency dlls as shown by the setup project [ detected Dependencies] .
I have selected the Primary output from the dll project. This consits of the DLL

How can I register a Shell extension DLL (Win32-COM) using Windows Installer MSI ?

thanks

Event log error 4201 - ERROR_WMI_INSTANCE_NOT_FOUND

Tue, 27 Feb 2007 22:14:54 Z

ERROR_WMI_INSTANCE_NOT_FOUND
4201 The instance name passed was not recognized as valid by a WMI data provider.

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms681387.aspx < this is the only error explanation I have found so far (it's really not very helpful)

I cannot start the event log service no matter what I try as a workaround. I really don't know what caused it to stop or what is causing the error above when I try to start it, but I have a hunch it is a compatibility issue. This is a serious security concern and I need it fixed ASAP. I hope MS addresses this issue in their next update...

How to disable high DPI awareness in my MFC application?

Wed, 14 Oct 2009 09:37:36 Z

Hello All

How I can disable high DPI awareness in my MFC application on Windows 7? As we know, when set DPI to 120,

the window will scale and the all the size of window, controls and fonts will be larger, but it is not nice to look, so I

just want my application show normally as if it was 96DPI, that is how I can make my application show the same size

as in 96DPI when the system DPI is 120.

thanks.

.net installation on win server 2008 r2

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 04:42:00 Z

It is a known issue that .net 3.5 sp1 installation on win 2k8 r2 requires either application server role to be enabled or .net feature to be added. I need a native code to do this task in the background without actually prompting the user to manually enable the feature or roles of the server because my product needs .net 3.5 sp1 as a prerequisite before starting the installation.

During my search, I found this command
dism /online /get-features /format:table | find /i "net"
to look for the .net features present on the server
and
dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFx2-ServerCore
to enable the feature if not already enabled.

I need a native (C or C# etc) to do this thing in the background.

If the code itself is not possible, I need to know the mechanism (the apis etc) how the server gets to know about and enables its features so that I can write a code for it.

Why system API "stat" cannot work under "C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\systemprofile" of Win64?

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 09:22:53 Z

On Win64 (2003 X64 SP2, logon as Administrator), I find that system API "stat" does not work under "C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\systemprofile", it cannot detect the exist file.

The test steps:
1 Copy 1.gz to "C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\systemprofile".

2 Create aaa.exe with codes:
struct stat sbuf;
cout << stat("1.gz", &sbuf) << endl;

3 Run it under "C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\systemprofile", it will return "-1" -- it cannot detect the exist file. But the result is OK under "C:\WINDOWS".

Seems windows do something for security reason, but where can I find the related document?

Thanks very much.

SetConsoleControlHandler() not working under Windows 7

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 17:56:42 Z

Hi,

I have a Windows Service that uses SetConsoleCtrlHandler() to handle Logoff/Shutdown events (currently on Windows XP).

Configuration Parser Error

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 16:40:51 Z

Just installed Windows 7 on a box to test our app in the Windows 7 environment, when trying to launch the app I am seeing this error:

Error parsing
c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\config\machine.config
Parser returned error 0x80070005

I am aware of the 'Troubleshoot compatibility' wizard when you right click on the executable, and it will run properly when I set it as a Windows XP SP2 app, but how do I get the app to run natively without having to run the compatibility wizard? Is there some option that has to be set before compiling the application?

Cheers, Andrew

In our code (C++, MFC) we use MS ActiveX control HTML View for printing - We use ExecWB function with OLECMDID_PRINT option.

Lasermouse 6000 scrolls too fast

Mon, 23 Oct 2006 15:53:56 Z

I have Vista RC1 version 6.0.5600 (32 bit) running on a HP Nx7010 laptop with 1 gig ram.

I am using a Microsoft lasermouse 6000.

The problem is that the wheel scrolls way, way too fast in the vertical direction. If you have a large document, you only have to breather on the mouse wheel and it's zoomed off about 3 pages (minimum).

In the wheel options in the mouse settings of control panel, I've got it set to only scroll 1 line at a time, but it's still stupidly fast. It makes the wheel unusable and you end up resorting to dragging the sliders around.

Cheers,

Glyn.

Vista won't show file version unless extension is changed to DLL, for example

Wed, 08 Aug 2007 19:35:21 Z

I posted this on the Vista General Discussion forum, and was directed to the MSDN forums.

Please try this yourself: rename a DLL to a different extension (such as
.asdf). Watch the Version tab disappear under the file's Properties. If you
switch the extension back, suddenly Vista recognizes the version
specification. Why is Vista ignoring file versions for custom file
extensions??

We deal extensively with clients using older version of our files, so we
need to be able to easily see the versions.

However, since upgrading from XP to Vista, the file version (accessed by
going to the file's Properties and selecting the Version tab) is no longer
shown. There isn't even a version tab anymore! If you try adding a "File
Version" column in Details view, it also doesn't show up.

The only way to get the file version to show up is to change the file's
extension to DLL. Then suddenly the version tab appears, and the DLL also
shows its version in Details view.

With XP, we never had this problem. If a file had a version specified, it
was shown.

Try it yourself in Vista! Rename a .DLL file to .ASDF and try to find the
file's version. Now try it in XP and see how simple it is.

This happens even under Administrator login.

SAPI on Vista

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 05:18:47 Z

Hello,

I am having problems with Vista's SAPI 8.0 in inproc/dictation mode, and need some help.

When recording the recognized WAV audio, I only get a part of the recognized audio, i.e. the recognized audio stream (from ISpeechRecoResult Audio) starts well after the beginning of the audio. Does anyone know why?

This only happens when the SAPI recognizes a word or phrase registered in a grammar rule set. However, ISpeechRecoResult always has the whole recognized audio stream if a word or phrase not in the grammar rule is recognized.

Also, does anyone know how to monitor the audio stream (for file writing) even when the recognition is not started (and of course dictation state is active as well)?

Shell Extension Incompatible with 32bit & 64 bit Vista

Sat, 16 Jun 2007 05:55:23 Z

Dear Friends

I have written a namespace extension in managed code. It works fine on
32 bit windows vista.

It give me lot problem when I port that to a 64 bit OS. After installation it works fine for some time. after a restart the NSE will collapse. The child objects names are truncated . I think I have to declare some int32 vars to int 64.

Is we going to change all 32bit int vars to 64bit int vars?

[32 bit] void GetDefaultColumn( uint reserved, out uint sort, out uint
display);

[64 bit] void GetDefaultColumn( UInt64 reserved, out UInt64 sort, out
UInt64 display);?

I am unable to find any samples for 64 bit namespace extensions.

Could anyone please give me some pointers on namespace extensions?
Is it possible to create an NSE in managed code for 64 bit OS?

Thanks & Regards

Problems installing MS Office Premium 2003 in Win7

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 20:45:44 Z

I cannot get MS Office Premium 2003 to install on my PC. It's a Dell Optiplex GX260 with 2 GB ram. I upgraded from Win XP professional. So far my experiences with Win7 have been largely. Not only will MS Office Premium not install but starting up takes 3-5 minutes considerably longer than my XP system. My primary concern at this point is installing the MS Office Premium. It gets to the point where it says Installation in Progress ..... unfortunately it doesn't make any progress from that point. The task manager however says that MS Office Premium 2003 is running!

signing and logo for 64-bit USB driver on Windows 7

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 16:33:27 Z

I'm a bit confused about how to go about getting a 64-bit driver signed and logo for Windows 7.

Currently I'm running with a self-signed certificate in test mode on 64-bit Windows 7 and all is fine. However, my customers do not want to put machine into test mode, they don't want the warning of installing an unsigned driver, and I want the Windows 7 logo for my driver.

I've read the instructions at:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb961459.aspx#59264251-8392-4f65-9f4c-2fdbd76a0f6d
and even though there is mention of support for Win7 there is no mention of being able to use Win7 as a DTM Client System.

One other thing I need to know is what the cost is to go from where I'm at now to the conclusion of having an officially signed 64-bit driver and Win7 logo to go along with it. That also is information that I've been unable to find.

Thanks,
Tim

Opening outlook mail item blocks operation on Outlook

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 12:46:36 Z

I have a C# application that sends out email using Microsoft Outlook. The reference added is - Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook, Version=11.0.0.0.
Now when the mail item gets opened with a file attached to it - two issues arise :

1. Cannot open the attachment. It opens when this mail item is closed/sent.
2. Cannot perform any operation on both - application and Outlook.

The OS is Vista. Is this an expected behaviour or some issue with our code ?

Windows 7 freeze on CallNamedPipe

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 07:15:56 Z

My application sometimes freezes Windows 7 when it calls CallNamedPipe to communicate with a service. The freeze is such that nothing works and it needs to be rebooted. This occurs on latest build 7600 of Windows 7 64-bit. What can be wrong? The call uses NMPWAIT_WAIT_FOREVER. It worked fine on Vista. I even tried changing to a timeout and loop but the freeze is random. I will appreciate any hints on this.

NullReferenceException on RemoveInflatedListener error on WPF application after upgrading to Vista Service Pack 2

Thu, 22 Oct 2009 15:31:47 Z

If installed on a machine with Service Pack 2 for Windows Vista my WPF application throws the following error:

System.NullReferenceException was unhandled by user code
Message="Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

For any other OS/Service Pack combination works great including Windows 7.

On the stack trace the first few lines go like this:

If the machine is rolled back to Vista SP1, the application works perfectly. Does anyone have a similar experience with Vista Service Pack 2?

Cannot install catalog file with SetupCopyOemInf() on Vista & Windows 7 - 64 bit

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 20:35:42 Z

I'm trying to install Android phone's driver on 64bit machines (Vista & Windows7), calling SetupCopyOemInf() from my setup.exe.
On 32bit machines, everything works fine, but somehow on 64bit machines, the catalog file is not copied by setupcopyoeminf properly.

Comparing the setupapi.dev.log of 32bit and 64bit, 64bit one is missing the following line.

inf: Installing Catalog C:\Program Files\***\USB Drivers\androidusb*.cat as: oem*.CAT

If I go to the "Found New Hardware" wizard and point out the correct path to the driver files, it works completely fine.

To test this function, I tried another driver on the 64bit machine, but it worked totaly fine...
The difference between these two is only Android driver contains co-installer, WdfCoInstaller01005.dll, so I'm kind of guessing setupcopyoeminf isn't handling co-installer if OS is 64bit or somethiong... However, on 32bit machines everything works fine...

Does anyone have this kind of issue?
Thanks in advance.
