Agent with windows7

Hello,
In my program i use a character.
But on my laptop i installed windows 7 and in there visual studio2008 cannot find that namespace.
Is there any change since windows7? or is it the framework that causes this problem?

Imports AgentObjects is what i use.

Thanks!
Paul

I haven't seen any issues with Win7, VS08.
Did you install the framework(s) too?

re: Agent with windows7

Well, as i see in the %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\ directory, there are the folders versions 1, version 2, version 3 and version 3.5.
They all came togheter with the install of visual studio team edition 08.

I think it's very odd too...

re: Agent with windows7

You mean a "char" right? That is a standard type.

Can you post the segment of code giving you problems?

re: Agent with windows7

Well, at the top i declare: Imports AgentObjects.
In this line he already gives an error.I am not at home now, but something in the sense of "Cannot find the namespace declared ... blabla".
And then the rest of the related code gives errors or warnings to this namespace.
Seems logic to me... :)

Well, i just had a moment... I realised that the reference was not set to the microsoft agent.dll.
Project -> Add reference -> select 'Com' and then microsoft Agent control 2.0.

Thanks for your quick answers, tlhintoq!

Cheers, Paul

re: Agent with windows7

Well, i was testing it on my work with xp.
@home, i couldn't find the dll, but i found something else....

Microsoft has decided to discontinue development of Microsoft Agent technologies. Beginning with Windows 7, Microsoft Agent will not be included or supported in later versions of the Microsoft® Windows® operating system. We encourage Microsoft Agent application developers and redistributors to evaluate their activities in light of this decision.

--v1.5

* Added the following topics:
o Additional Windows Resource Protection on Registry Keys
o Removal of Microsoft Agent
o AppInit_DLLs in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2
o Fault Tolerant Heap....
and so on.

To bad, it has been removed and discontinued... :( So it won't be there if you search for it.
But you can download the agent control 2.0 and install it. And, voila! it works again!
