I have an app that relies on text file data. The app .exe and .dlls are
only around 500k, the data however, is hundreds of megs. I wrote a setup
project for this, and it compiled, but the .msi is around 300 megs, and when
trying to run it my machine goes out to lala land. (that's a technical term
ya know).
Anyway, is there any better way to package up the application data in a
setup project so that the msi isn't so big? When I create the setup project
with smaller data sets, it installs like a champ.
And, regarding my "how do I run a console app minimized" question, all set,
placing that responsibilty on the caller of my app, thanks for the
responses.

Ah ha, if you change the "PackageTyp e" to vsdpaLoose on a file, it will just
be copied into the install dir, not packaged in the msi. I did that to all
large data files and it runs like a champ now.

Hi
I have a Database Application that i am trying to install on the Clients
machine, the application uses three custom Ms access Databases. Those
database i added in the correct folder in the SETUP Project of my
application
However, perhaps due to the size of the Databases (appx 500 mb), or some
other reason when i try to build the SETUP project, it fails, right in the
start giving an ERROR, not enough DISK SPACE to complete this...

I created a setup project in VS 2003 to deploy a windows application.
I'm able to run that installer in any windows xp m/c, when I try to install
the setip in a vista m/c, it goes all the way and hangs at the end.
I tried to create a small setup project in vs 2005 and I was able to run the
setup in vista machine.
So I'm wondering if there are any patch / fix for VS 2003 to run in vista?
Thanks for your help.

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:

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,...
