Auto repair issue

I have a Windows service written in C#. I also have a Windows Form
application for configuring the service. I have created a deployment project
to install both at the same time. When I build the Install package I change
the setup project version, this also changes the Product Code and Package
code. I have RemovePreviousV ersion set to true.

If the service is already installed and I update it then launch the setup
program again it all seems to install correctly and the service runs fine.
The config utility is launched immediately after the installation and works.
The next time I launch the config app from the Start menu however a dialog
pops up saying it is installing the app and then deletes parts of my program
and fails.

I also have a separate Windows Forms app with the same problem. After
install when I launch it from the program menu it says it wants to install
the app again.
Any ideas?

I am running into big problems with my Access 97 databases. I have one database in particular that needs to be repaired and compacted several times a day. I have problems when doing a repair and compact where it doesn't get all the way through the process and I end up having to manually rename the db1.mdb that is created during the process. I am wondering if you all think that this is an issue with Access 97 (meaning that we should...

I apologize if this question has been asked before... I'm trying to reset autonumber fields back to 1. The autonumber fields are part of the composite primary keys. I followed the MS help with a temp table and append query. I can change the number to anything but 1. I'm using Access XP and saving as 2000. Any help is appreciated.

I'm currently using the old appudater util from asp.net, however this is very similar to the updater application block offered by microsoft. Basically, I set up a folder structure using a setup and deployment project that mimics the folder version setup of the update block. Then i install the program and the basic idea is that any msi will automatically update to our version on the server (since it installs to a directory with the appstart...

Recently, and for reasons I don't know, the project I was working on started to compile either very slowly, or it was locking up. So, I repaired VS C++.NET 2005 Express via 're-installing' it without first removing it. The repair worked, and the project now compiles in a timely manner. My question is this. After the offer to download the Express versions for free has expired (Nov 2006), will some means to repair the ones we have...

I'm using Visual Studio 2005 and I have built an msi using the built in setup project. My application installs fine, but on install the application itself runs a few configuration scripts which alter the original contents of the directory. The next time you start the application by clicking the shortcut the MSI automatically tries to repair/restore the install back to the out of the box configuration. Any idea how to turn this feature...

New discovery. If I take a perfectly good database, and "compact/repair" on it with Access 2000 (seems to be at multiple sites--I've tried it with my system here, at another office on an entirely different network), it damages the file somehow. The user's machine that did the compact/repair can see the file fine. But any networked user can't get in. I can double click on a good database file from any user (over the network) and it...

I noticed that after running compact/repair, I have to recompile my code for the program not to break the next time I open it. What happens is the auto exec macro runs the main() module, then hangs with the second line of code highlighted. No error message, just hangs. If I stop it and recompile the code, it runs again. Does anyone know anything about this? Is there some way to run something to recompile the code automatically after compacting...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention.
