Accessibility & Handicap Project

Question

This project is not only important for me, but for each people wich can't use use a mouse.
Among all free and non free software, it's maybe just one of the best, easier, smoother, ...
Let me thank you, for your help, your time...

Hi,

I'm daily using this software  in order to manage my computer (moving the mouse with my head moves, I became disable due to a  desease).
It works pzerfectly with XP PRO SP3, but not under vista.
Now, my laptop  is close to death, I had to change it and so migrate to vista :(.
Hopefully, this software is available here with GPL licence.
Here is a copy of the source code of the project (400Ko).
I 've downloaded it through CVS, but couldn't compile it :(
Code has been post without any explications...
I understood that it was developped with MFC AppWizard
I'm not a dev, just a good script maker

Apps installed:
- Opencv
- Directx sdk nov2008 and august 2007 ( for dxtrans.h)
- VisualStudio Express 2008
- Must compile:
  -  C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.1\Samples\Multimedia\DirectShow\BaseClasses\baseclasses.sln to get strmbase.lib
  -  C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.1\Samples\Multimedia\DirectShow\BaseClasses\streams.h
  -  C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.1\Samples\Multimedia\DirectShow\BaseClasses\Release\strmbase.lib

Modifications:
- m_bTracking = false; to m_bTracking = true; line73 from HeadmouseDoc.cpp

Problem:

for(list<string>::const_iterator i=m_windows.begin(); i!=m_windows.end() && !tobreak; ++i) // i est bien declaré ici

{

if(0==strcmp((*(i)).c_str(),title))

tobreak=true;

}

if(tobreak || i==m_windows.end()) //ligne 46 var i not declare

In fact, i is declared in the loop for, and so theorically invisibleoutside of the loop , except with some compiler.

list<string>::const_iterator i=m_windows.begin();

for(; i!=m_windows.end() && !tobreak; ++i)

{

if(0==strcmp((*(i)).c_str(),title))

tobreak=true;

}

if(tobreak || i==m_windows.end())

Thanks olivthill for the answer :)

Compilation ok
I've copied files on my wife's computer (Vista), and then "application error, side by side configuration..."
I've searched msdn and found this procédure
but I can''t get step 5

Sum up:
source Code : ok
Compilation : ok
-- In the folder "headmouse/headmouse/release": 1 file .exe "headmouse.exe" , with .obj, .xdc, .pdb,idb, xml, pch files
-- In the folder "headmouse/processlib/release": 1 process.lib and .obj files
I launched a debug with "headmouse.exe" wich asks me to add missing DLLs (found them here: /program files/OpenCV/bin):
- cv110.dll
- cvxcore110.dll
- highgui110.dll

Then, as there was no crash, I've created a setup project while following the step by step guide
Unfortunatly, it still doesn't work :(

fed up, erase and restart:
- recreation of the project.
- add a setup project to the current project.
- set project and dependancies.

launch of setup.msi
- ok
- verification, all files are at the right place.
launch the program on Vista 32 et 64.
- erreur 0xc0150002
installation of Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package
- erreur 0xc0150002
installation of Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package
- erreur 0xc0150002
If someone could test the project? compilation & package (400Ko)
Tell me where I'm wrong...

Answer 1

Try changing the install order, VS 2005 redistributable, VS 2008 redistributable, your program.

Might work better.

IT/Developer, Windows/Linux/Whatever I need a new web server, the antique IBM 300GL has a 137GB disk limit, for my chess site. I wanted to post many more downloadable files, the existing 30GB disk is insufficient.

Answer 2

Thanks,but i've already tried it .
Any clue/hints ?

Answer 3

This suggests your registry might be corrupted. Search for a program called "beclean", its a free registry tool to clean up the mess in a registry.

I have used it but do not use the shortcut checker as some links in the administrator tools will disappear.

I am suprised WIndows has no untility to clean up the registry. So a 3rd party tool is needed.

Answer 5

I've installed the program on vista fresh install to so registry couldn't be corrupted.
I've posted the source code, all the things i did, step by step.
I've posted all the necessary links.
What more can I do?
Can somebody try to compile & package it ?
it works with VisualStudio environement, but not on a fresh install

Answer 8

I do not see anything more than a few snipped out lines. So is not possible to see what else is happening to cause the problem.

Vote if helpful, I am running for Office (joke), also mark questions answered. IT/Developer, Windows/Linux/Whatever I need a new web server, the antique IBM 300GL has a 137GB disk limit, for my chess site. My server's disk finally croaked, I am out of work, I need to get a new server as the old IBM is past its prime.

Answer 9

Hi Kilhian !

Oh ! Given the date of your message, you still have the problem despite the discussion at http://fr.groups.yahoo.com/group/handicap_tic/message/2583 ?

Have you try this zip package on a fresh Vista installation ? : http://olivier.coursiere.free.fr/download/headmouse.zip.

Maybe the problem is in the setup.msi.

Or some dll are missing, like the one for MFC (like mfc<version>.dll). Those dlls are required to run this program.
